Quadrangular Algebras by Richard M Weiss

Based on their relationship to exceptional algebraic groups, quadrangular algebras belong in a series together with alternative and Jordan division algebras, this book introduces a class of non-associative algebras related to exceptional algebraic groups and their associated buildings.
"[T]here have been many results on finite generalized quadrangles that fill a well-needed gap in the mathematical literature, but this monograph is much deeper and will enable progress to be made in a difficult technical area where some exotic forms of algebraic groups have hitherto been little understood"--Robert L. Devaney, Bulletin of the AMS
