Isotropic quadrangular algebras (Q2302633): Difference between revisions

Quadrangular algebras arise in the theory of Tits quadrangles. They are anisotropic if and only if the corresponding Tits quadrangle is, in fact, a Moufang quadrangle. Anisotropic quadrangular algebras were classified in the course of classifying Moufang polygons by \textit{J. Tits} and the second author in [Moufang polygons. Berlin: Springer (2002; Zbl 1010.20017)]. A formal definition and a purely algebraic classification of quadrangular algebras were given subsequently by the second author in [Quadrangular algebras. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press (2006; Zbl 1129.17001)]. In this paper, the authors extend the classification of anisotropic quadrangular algebras to a classification of isotropic quadrangular algebras satisfying a natural non-degeneracy condition.
