On inclusions of exceptional long root geometries of type $\mathsf{E}$

Anneleen De Schepper and Hendrik Van Maldeghem

Vol. 20 (2023), No. 2-3, 247–293
Abstract

We prove the uniqueness of the inclusion of the long root geometries of type E6 and E7 as full embeddings in the one of type E8; the latter always arises as an equator geometry, the former as an intersection of two appropriate such equator geometries. Along the way, several other embedding results are obtained, notably featuring the subsequent point residuals of the above geometries.
