Strongly real elements in finite simple orthogonal groups. (Q606012): Difference between revisions

The main results that the author obtains are the following two theorems: 1. Let \(V\) be a finite-dimensional vector space of dimension \(4m\) endowed with a nondegenerate bilinear form. Let \(S\subset O(V)\). Then \(S\) and \(S^{-1}\) are conjugate by some involution in \(SO(V)\). 2. The group \(G=\mathbf P\Omega^-_{4n}(q)\), with \(q\) odd, is strongly real.
