Steinberg groups, originating in the work of R. Steinberg on Chevalley groups in the nineteen sixties, are groups defined by generators and relations. The main examples are groups modelled on elementary matrices in the general linear, orthogonal and symplectic group. Jordan theory started with a fam...
