R-triviality of groups of type F_4 arising from the first Tits construction.

Abstract: Joint work with S. Alsaody and A. Pianzola. Any group of type F_4 is obtained as the automorphism group of an Albert algebra. In the talk we show that such a group is R-trivial whenever the Albert algebra is obtained from the first Tits construction.
