Simplicity of some twin tree automorphism groups with trivial commutation relations
We prove simplicity for incomplete rank 2 Kac-Moody groups over algebraic closures of finite fields with trivial commutation relations between root groups corresponding to prenilpotent pairs. We don’t use the (yet unknown) simplicity of the corresponding finitely generated groups (i.e., when the ground field is finite). Nevertheless we use the fact that the latter groups are just infinite (modu...
متن کاملInteger Forms of Kac–moody Groups and Eisenstein Series in Low Dimensional Supergravity Theories
Abstract. Kac–Moody groups G over R have been conjectured to occur as symmetry groups of supergravities in dimensions less than 3, and their integer forms G(Z) are conjecturally U– duality groups. Mathematical descriptions of G(Z), due to Tits, are functorial and not amenable to computation or applications. We construct Kac–Moody groups over R and Z using an analog of Chevalley’s constructions ...
متن کاملGolod-shafarevich Groups with Property (t ) and Kac-moody Groups
We construct Golod-Shafarevich groups with property (T ) and thus provide counterexamples to a conjecture stated in a recent paper of Zelmanov [Ze2]. Explicit examples of such groups are given by lattices in certain topological Kac-Moody groups over finite fields. We provide several applications of this result including examples of residually finite torsion non-amenable groups.
متن کاملLattices in Kac - Moody Groups
Initially, we set out to construct non-uniform ‘arithmetic’ lattices in Kac-Moody groups of rank 2 over finite fields, as constructed by Tits ([Ti1], [Ti2]) using the BruhatTits tree of a Tits system for such groups. This attempt succeeded, and in fact, the construction we used can be applied to higher rank Kac-Moody groups over sufficiently large finite fields, and their buildings (Theorem 1.7...

— This survey paper presents the discrete group viewpoint on Kac-Moody groups. Over finite fields, the latter groups are finitely generated; they act on new buildings enjoying remarkable negative curvature properties. The study of these groups is shared between proving results supporting the analogy with some S-arithmetic groups, and exhibiting properties showing that they are new groups.
