Sastry automorphism


In mathematics, a Sastry automorphism, is an automorphism of a field of characteristic 2 satisfying some rather complicated conditions related to the problem of embedding Ree groups of type ²F₄ into Chevalley groups of type F₄. They were introduced by, and named and classified by who showed that there are 22 families of Sastry automorphisms, together with 22 exceptional ones over some finite fields of orders up to 210.
