Extract

In his fundamental paper (1) Chevalley showed how to associate with each complex simple Lie algebra L and each field K a group G = L(K) which is (in all but four exceptional cases) simple. If K is a finite field GF(q), G is a finite group of order

where l is the rank of L, m is the number of positive roots of L and d is a certain integer determined by L and K. The integers m1, m2,…,m1 are determined by L only and satisfy the condition
