Let B be an irreducible spherical Moufang building of rank at least 2. Then the group G is called a group of Lie type B if it is generated by the root subgroups corresponding to the roots of some apartments of B. This notion includes: classical groups of finite rank, simple algebraic groups over arbitrary fields, the ‘mixed’ groups of Tits. General structure theorems and a general presentation type theorem for such Lie‐type groups, which in a way generalize well‐known theorems of Seitz and Curtis and Tits, are obtained. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification : 20G15, 20E42.
