The abelian-root-group conjecture for proper Moufang sets
The abelian-root-group conjecture for proper Moufang sets
Let be a proper Moufang set, meaning that its little projective group is not sharply -transitive, and suppose that each root group is abelian. A quadratic Jordan division algebra is a quadratic Jordan algebra in which every nonzero element is invertible; for such an algebra , write for the Moufang set associated with . Abelian-root-group conjecture. There is a field and a quadratic Jordan division algebra over such that
is isomorphic to . There has been progress in proving this conjecture, but in general it remains open; it would classify proper Moufang sets with abelian root groups via quadratic Jordan division algebras.
