Totally singular algebraic groups

Abstract: I will define the groups of the title and discuss some examples. When they are of positive dimension, these groups exist only over an imperfect field. We will see examples in dimension 1 related to the purely inseparable forms of the additive group studied by Russell in 1970. We will also see some examples of arbitrarily high dimensions. I hope to convince the audience that this class of algebraic groups is both interesting and quite large!
