Abstract

We determine the groups which can appear as the normalizer of a maximal torus in a connected 2–compact group. The technique depends on using ideas of Tits to give a novel description of the normalizer of the torus in a connected compact Lie group, and then showing that this description can be extended to the 2–compact case.

Keywords
