Abstract

An inclusion of a Moufang polygon into another is called algebraic if the algebraic structures which describe them can be chosen in such a way that the one is a substructure of the other. We show that an inclusion of Moufang n -gons is always algebraic if n ∈ {3, 6, 8}, but that this is not always true when n = 4. We classify the algebraic inclusions of Moufang quadrangles in the case where none of the root groups is 2-torsion, which corresponds to the fact that the characteristic of the underlying (skew) field is different from 2. Finally, we show that all full and ideal inclusions of Moufang quadrangles without 2-torsion root groups are algebraic.
