Abstract: Automorphisms of order $2$ are studied in order to understand generalized symmetric spaces. The groups of type $E_6$ we consider here can be realized as both the group of linear maps that leave a certain determinant invariant, and also as the identity component of the automorphism group of a class of structurable algebras known as Brown algebras. We will classify the $k$-involutions of these groups of type $E_6$ using aspects of both descriptions, and give detailed descriptions of representatives over certain fields including algebraically closed fields, $mathbbR$, $mathbb{F}_p$, and $mathbb{Q}_p$.

Review text

The classification of \(k\)-involutions in algebraic groups was considered by \textit{A. G. Helminck} in [Adv. Math. 153, No. 1, 1--117 (2000; Zbl 0974.20033)]. \textit{A. G. Helminck} and \textit{L. Wu} classified \(k\)-involutions of \(\mathrm{SL}(2, k)\) in [Commun. Algebra 30, No. 1, 193--203 (2002; Zbl 1001.20044)]. The author addressed the same problem for exceptional algebraic groups of type \(G_2\) in [J. Algebra Appl. 13, No. 7, Article ID 1450039, 16 p. (2014; Zbl 1297.20047)] and of type \(F_4\) in [J. Lie Theory 25, No. 4, 1003--1022 (2015; Zbl 1342.20049)]. Here, the author gives a classification of \(k\)-involutions of groups of type \(E_6\) over fields of characteristic distinct from 2 and 3. Groups of type \(E_6\) can be realized as isometry groups of Albert algebras or as automorphism groups of Brown algebras. The author explores properties of Albert algebras, Brown algebras and of several other algebras and their relation to exceptional algebraic groups of type \(E_6\).
