Linear algebraic groups

This second edition, thoroughly revised and expanded, extends the theory of linear algebra groups over arbitrary fields, which are not necessarily algebraically closed. The book includes a self-contained treatment of the prerequisites from algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, as well as basic results from reductive groups. Chapters one through ten, essentially unchanged in this edition, can serve as a text for an introductory graduate course. Chapters 11 through 17 are new and include more algebraic geometry, such as F-groups, F-tori, solvable F-groups, F- reductive groups, reductive F-groups, and classification of simple groups over a ground field.
