Description
Book SynopsisIn the earlier monograph Pseudo-reductive Groups, Brian Conrad, Ofer Gabber, and Gopal Prasad explored the general structure of pseudo-reductive groups. In this new book, Classification of Pseudo-reductive Groups, Conrad and Prasad go further to study the classification over an arbitrary field. An isomorphism theorem proved here determines the auto
Trade Review"This book is beautiful and will be at the origin of many advances in the general theory of arbitrary algebraic groups."--Bertrand Remy, MathSciNet
