Abstract: 
Let q: V -> K be the form of degree 4 and H the alternating bilinear form that together give rise to a Freudenthal triple system when the characteristic of K is different from 2 and 3. We give a form Theta of degree 4 on a central cover of V over an arbitrary field in arbitrary characteristic and determine the group of similitudes of Theta. This group coincides with the intersection of the group of similitudes of q and the isometry group of H when the characteristic is different from 2 and 3 and has the expected structure of a suitable Levi subgroup in general. We extend known results about the stabilizers of elements of V and orbits of the group of similitudes and show, in particular, the existence of an exotic set of orbits when char(K) = 2 and K is not perfect.
