| Mar 25, 2010 at 23:09 | comment | added | Jim Humphreys | I concur with Wilberd's "presumably", since this large book by Hahn and O'Meara takes real work to get into due to its treatment of classical groups over very general rings. The slender earlier survey by Dieudonne on classical groups does not use algebraic groups or algebraic geometry. But his concise treatment in II.10 (2nd edition) is an alternative for fields of characteristic 2: see MR0310083 (46 #9186) Dieudonne, Jean A., La geometrie des groupes classiques.Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete, Band 5. Springer-Verlag, Berlin-New York, 1971. | |
