Title:	 A problem of Jacques Tits and Chevalley groups over F1

Date:	Tue, Nov 06, 2012, 13:15 - 14:45

Place:	Seminar Room A

Abstract:	 One of the main motivations of F1-geometry is to explain
the analogy between Chevalley groups over finite fields and the
combinatorial geometry of their Weyl groups. The idea to explain the
combinatorial part as a geometry over an elusive field, which is
nowadays called F1, "the field with one element", goes back to a paper
of Jacques Tits from 1956.

This idea entered the flourishing area of F1-geometry as the formula
G(F1)=W, and many authors contributed to it. However, the viewpoint
that the F1-rational points of a Chevalley group G should equal its
Weyl group W faces a certain functorial problem.

After giving a general introduction into the problem and the ideas of
F1-geometry, I will explain how the framework of blueprints provides a
natural solution to the problem. In particular, I will introduce the
so-called Tits-category, which contains models of Chevalley groups
over F1 that yield the Weyl groups in a functorial way.
