Outer automorphisms of adjoint groups of type 𝖣 and nonrational adjoint groups of outer type 𝖠

Abstract: For a classical group

G

of type

m a t h s f D_{n}

over a field

k

of characteristic different from

2

, we show the existence of a finitely generated regular extension

R

of

k

such that

G

admits outer automorphisms over

R

. Using this result and a construction of groups of type

m a t h s f A

from groups of type

m a t h s f D

, we construct new examples of groups of type

^{2} m a t h s f A_{n}

with

and the first examples of type

^{2} m a t h s f A_{n}

with

(n g e q 5)

that are not

R

-trivial, hence not rational (nor stably rational).
