Abstract
A group is called root graded if it has a family of subgroups indexed by roots from a root system satisfying natural conditions similar to Chevalley groups over commutative unital rings. For any such group there is a corresponding algebraic structure (commutative unital ring, associative unital ring, etc.) encoding the commutator relations between . We give a complete description of varieties of such structures for irreducible root systems of rank excluding and . Moreover, we provide a construction of root graded groups for all algebraic structures from these varieties.
