We define and study root graded groups, that is, groups graded by finite root systems. This notion generalises several existing concepts in the literature, including in particular Jacques Tits' notion of RGD-systems. The most prominent…
Using the well-known realisation of the root system $ H_4 $ as a folding of $ E_8 $, one can construct examples of $ H_4 $-graded groups from Chevalley groups of type $ E_8 $. Such Chevalley groups are defined over a commutative ring $ R $,…
We introduce and study the class of groups graded by root systems. We prove that if {\Phi} is an irreducible classical root system of rank at least 2 and G is a group graded by {\Phi}, then under certain natural conditions on the grading,…
Isotropic odd unitary groups generalize Chevalley groups of classical types over commutative rings and their twisted forms. Such groups have root subgroups parameterized by a root system $\mathsf{BC}_\ell$ and may be constructed by…
Let $G$ be a group. A ring $R$ is called a graded ring (or $G$-graded ring) if there exist additive subgroups $R_{\alpha }$ of $R$ indexed by the elements $\alpha \in G$ such that $R=\bigoplus_{\alpha \in G}R_{\alpha }$ and $R_{\alpha…
Our approach to structural matrix rings defines them over preordered directed graphs. A grading of a structural matrix ring is called a good grading if its standard unit matrices are homogeneous. For a group $G$, a $G$ -grading set is a set…
We find an explicit presentation of relative odd unitary Steinberg groups constructed by odd form rings and of relative doubly laced Steinberg groups over commutative rings, i.e. the Steinberg groups associated with the Chevalley group…
In this paper we prove that every automorphism of a Chevalley group (or its elementary subgroup) with root system of rank >1 over a commutative ring (with 1/2 for the systems A_2, F_4, B_l, C_l; with 1/2 and 1/3 for the system G_2) is…
A $G$-grading on a complex semisimple Lie algebra $L$, where $G$ is a finite abelian group, is called quasi-good if each homogeneous component is 1-dimensional and 0 is not in the support of the grading. Analogous to classical root systems,…
Root systems are sets with remarkable symmetries and therefore they appear in many situations in mathematics. Among others, denominator formulae of root systems are very beautiful and mysterious equations which have several meanings from a…
We construct Lie algebras arising from cubic norm pairs over arbitrary commutative base rings. Such Lie algebras admit a grading by a root system of type $G_2$, and when the cubic norm pair is a cubic Jordan matrix algebra, the…
Graded rings provide a natural algebraic framework for encoding symmetry via decompositions into homogeneous components indexed by a group, together with multiplication rules reflecting the group operation. Among graded rings, strongly…
In this paper we prove that if $G(R)=G_\pi (\Phi,R)$ $(E(R)=E_{\pi}(\Phi, R))$ is an (elementary) Chevalley group of rank $> 1$, $R$ is a local ring (with $\frac{1}{2}$ for the root systems ${\mathbf A}_2, {\mathbf B}_l, {\mathbf C}_l,…
We study gradings by noncommutative groups on finite dimensional Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. It is shown that if $L$ is gradeg by a non-abelian finite group $G$ then the solvable radical $R$ of…
We show that for Chevalley groups G(R) of rank at least 2 over a ring R the root subgroups are essentially (nearly always) the double centralizers of corresponding root elements. In very many cases this implies that R and G(R) are…
We define graded group schemes and graded group varieties and develop their theory. Graded group schemes are the graded analogue of group schemes and are in correspondence with graded Hopf algebra. In this setting, graded group varieties…
In this article we define $G$-algebras, that is, graded algebras on which a reductive group $G$ acts as gradation preserving automorphisms. Starting from a finite dimensional $G$-module $V$ and the polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[V]$, it is…
We give a complete description of Lie algebras graded by an infinite irreducible locally finite root system.
We prove that every locally inner (class-preserving) endomorphism of adjoint Chevalley groups and their elementary subgroups over commutative rings is inner for the root systems A1, A2, B2 (assuming 2 is invertible in the ring), and for G2…
We prove that every locally inner endomorphism of a Chevalley group (or its elementary subgroup) over a local ring with an irreducible root system of rank >1 (with 1/2 for the systems A_2, F_4, B_l, C_l and with 1/3 for the system G_2) is…
