Automorphism groups of unipotent groups of Chevalley type

Amassa Courtney Fauntleroy

Vol. 66 (1976), No. 2, 373–390
Abstract

Let G be a quasi-simple algebraic group defined and split over the field k. Let V be a maximal k-split unipotent subgroup of G and Aut (V ) the group of k-automorphism of V . The structure of Aut (V ) is determined and the obstructions to making Aut (V ) algebraic when char k > 3 are made explicit. If G is not of type A2, then Aut (V ) is solvable.
