About the Authors
  • Pseudo-reductive groups arise naturally in the study of general smooth linear algebraic groups over non-perfect fields and have many important applications. This monograph provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory of pseudo-reductive groups and gives their classification in a usable form. In this second edition there is new material on relative root systems and Tits systems for general smooth affine groups, including the extension to quasi-reductive groups of famous simplicity results of Tits in the semisimple case. Chapter 9 has been completely rewritten to describe and classify pseudo-split absolutely pseudo-simple groups with a non-reduced root system over arbitrary fields of characteristic 2 via the useful new notion of 'minimal type' for pseudo-reductive groups. Researchers and graduate students working in related areas, such as algebraic geometry, algebraic group theory, or number theory will value this book, as it develops tools likely to be used in tackling other problems.

    • A strong collaboration of authors representing three important areas: number theory, algebraic geometry and algebraic groups
    • Presents foundational results very useful to mathematicians working in related areas
    • The second edition provides a complete classification of pseudo-reductive groups of minimal type

    Reviews & endorsements

    "[This book] is devoted to the elucidation of the structure and classification of pseudo-reductive groups over imperfect fields, completing the program initiated by J. Tits, A. Borel and T. Springer in the last three decades of the last century … [it] is a remarkable achievement and the definitive reference for pseudo-reductive groups. It certainly belongs in the library of anyone interested in algebraic groups and their arithmetic and geometry."
    Felipe Zaldivar, MAA Reviews (maa.org/press/maa-reviews)
