Project description
 

The goal of the project is to investigate connections between algebraic structures (linear algebraic groups, Jordan pairs, structurable algebras, Lie algebras) and geometric structures (especially point-line geometries, but also so-called root filtration spaces). We will often rely on the representation theory of the underlying groups.
