AbstractUsing the theory of the Satake diagrams associated with the non-compact simple Lie algebras over the real number field R, we shall construct a family of simple groups over a field K which are called the simple groups associated with the Satake diagrams. The list of these simple groups includes all Chevalley groups and twisted groups, and all simple algebraic groups of adjoint type defined over R if K is the complex number field C (except two types given by Table II′). Furthermore, the simple groups associated with the Satake diagrams of type AIII, BI, DI are identified with the simple groups obtained from the unitary or orthogonal groups of non-zero indices. The quasi-Bruhat decomposition of the “non-split” simple groups associated with the Satake diagrams which are not Chevalley groups or twisted groups will be given in this paper.

Following the notation and the definitions in [1], let L(K) be the Chevalley group of type L over a field K, W the Weyl group of L and h the Coxeter number, i.e., the order of Coxeter elements of W. In a letter to the author, John McKay asked the following question: If h + 1 is a prime, is there an element of order h + 1 in L(C)? In this note we give an affirmative answer to this question by constructing an element of order h + 1 (prime or otherwise) in the subgroup Lz = 〈xτ(1)|r ∈ Φ〉 of L(K), for any K.Our problem has an immediate solution when L = An. In this case h = n + 1 and the (n + l) × (n + l) matrixhas order 2(h + 1) in SLn+1(K). This seemingly trivial solution turns out to be a prototype of general solutions in the following sense.
