Abstract

Rank one groups are a class of doubly transitive groups that are natural generalizations of the groups SL2(k). The most interesting examples arise from exceptional algebraic groups of relative rank one. This class of groups is, in turn, intimately related to structurable algebras. The goal of the mini-workshop was to bring together experts on these topics in order to make progress towards a better understanding of the structure of rank one groups.
