Extract

1. Introduction. 1.1 In (5), (6) and (7) I have catalogued the classes of involutions of the orthogonal, symplectic and unitary groups over perfect fields of characteristic 2. So, too, were obtained the involution classes of the well-known relatives of these groups. For each group the relevant classes have simple and explicit descriptions in terms of the geometry of its setting, and an overall pattern can be seen.
