On geometry of some pseudo-reductive groups

Group Theory 2022-05-30 v3 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

Based on the work of Conrad-Gabber-Prasad, the paper deals with the geometry of particular pseudo-semisimple groups, namely those which can be written as quotient of Weil restriction of semisimple groups. We establish that these groups are retract rational when their are split, and give results on their Picard groups.
