Root graded groups revisited

Abstract

A group GG is called root graded if it has a family of subgroups GαG_\alpha indexed by roots from a root system Φ\Phi 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 GαG_\alpha. We give a complete description of varieties of such structures for irreducible root systems of rank 3\geq 3 excluding H3\mathsf H_3 and H4\mathsf H_4. Moreover, we provide a construction of root graded groups for all algebraic structures from these varieties.
