On abstract homomorphisms of some special unitary groups

Published 2021-07-15Version 1
We analyze the abstract representations of the groups of rational points of even-dimensional quasi-split special unitary groups associated with quadratic field extensions. We show that, under certain assumptions, such representations have a standard description, as predicted by a conjecture of Borel and Tits. Our method extends the approach introduced by the first author to study abstract representations of Chevalley groups and is based on the construction and analysis of a certain algebraic ring associated to a given abstract representation.
