Automorphisms of Chevalley groups over commutative rings

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we prove that every automorphism of a Chevalley group (or its elementary subgroup) with root system of rank > 1 over a commutative ring (with 1/2 for the systems (Formula presented.); with 1/2 and 1/3 for the system (Formula presented.)) is standard, i.e., it is a composition of ring, inner, central and graph automorphisms. This result finalizes description of automorphisms of Chevalley groups. However, the restrictions on invertible elements can be a topic of further considerations. We provide also some model-theoretic applications of this description.
