On construction of maximal parabolic centralizers of root elements and the Weyl group of type F4 in E6(K) for fields K of characteristic 2

The purpose of this paper is to give an elementary and explicit construction of maximal parabolic centralizers of root elements in the Chevalley group E₆(K), and to show that the centralizer of a Seigel involution in the Weyl group W of type E₆(K) is the Weyl group of type F₄, or equivalently, it is...

Description
Summary:The purpose of this paper is to give an elementary and explicit construction of maximal parabolic centralizers of root elements in the Chevalley group E₆(K), and to show that the centralizer of a Seigel involution in the Weyl group W of type E₆(K) is the Weyl group of type F₄, or equivalently, it is the stabilizer of a totally singular line L in W, using properties of the generalized quadrangle of type (2). The construction here of the maximal parabolic centralizers of root elements in E₆(K) for fields K of characteristic 2 is somewhat novel, beginning as it does with root bases of Levi-type and root bases of unipotent type, giving an explicit construction of the group generated by these two types.
