Contents

From [MAT-43-21-K-7] Finite Groups of Lie Type:
  • automorphisms of algebraic groups,
  • maximum weight modules of algebraic groups,
  • Steinberg endomorphisms,
  • Lang-Steinberg theorem,
  • tori and Sylow groups.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students have an in-depth knowledge of algebraic groups and know the groups of Lie type. They understand how statements about algebraic groups lead to a deeper understanding of these finite groups. They are able to name and to prove the essential propositions of the lecture as well as to classify and to explain the connections. They understand the proofs and are able to reproduce and explain them. In particular, they can critically assess, what conditions are necessary for the validity of the statements.
