Abstract
In Part III, we proved that every Moufang polygon belongs (up to isomorphism) to one of the nine families described in Chapter 16. In Part IV, we study the isomorphism problem (roughly speaking) for Moufang polygons. In particular, we examine the structure of the automorphism group of a Moufang polygon (family by family), we investigate the pairs of parameter systems of a given type which give rise to isomorphic polygons and we determine the Moufang quadrangles which are (up to isomorphism) of more than one type (i.e. belong to more than one family).
