Presentation of Affine Kac-moody Groups over Rings
نویسنده
چکیده
Tits has defined Steinberg groups and Kac-Moody groups for any root system and any commutative ring R. We establish a Curtis-Tits-style presentation for the Steinberg group St of any rank ≥ 3 irreducible affine root system, for any R. Namely, St is the direct limit of the Steinberg groups coming from the 1and 2-node subdiagrams of the Dynkin diagram. This leads to a completely explicit presentation. Using this we show that St is finitely presented if the rank is ≥ 4 and R is finitely generated as a ring, or if the rank is 3 and R is finitely generated as a module over a subring generated by finitely many units. Similar results hold for the corresponding Kac-Moody groups when R is a Dedekind domain of arithmetic type.

Presentation of Hyperbolic Kac–moody Groups over Rings
Tits has defined Kac–Moody and Steinberg groups over commutative rings, providing infinite dimensional analogues of the Chevalley–Demazure group schemes. Here we establish simple explicit presentations for all Steinberg and Kac–Moody groups whose Dynkin diagrams are hyperbolic and simply laced. Our presentations are analogues of the Curtis–Tits presentation of the finite groups of Lie type. Whe...
متن کاملSteinberg groups as amalgams
For any root system and any commutative ring, we give a relatively simple presentation of a group related to its Steinberg group St. This includes the case of infinite root systems used in Kac–Moody theory, for which the Steinberg group was defined by Tits and Morita–Rehmann. In most cases, our group equals St, giving a presentation with many advantages over the usual presentation of St. This e...
متن کاملThe two parameter quantum groups $U_{r,s}(mathfrak{g})$ associated to generalized Kac-Moody algebra and their equitable presentation
We construct a family of two parameter quantum grou-\ps $U_{r,s}(mathfrak{g})$ associated with a generalized Kac-Moody algebra corresponding to symmetrizable admissible Borcherds Cartan matrix. We also construct the $textbf{A}$-form $U_{textbf{A}}$ and the classical limit of $U_{r,s}(mathfrak{g})$. Furthermore, we display the equitable presentation for a subalgebra $U_{r...
متن کاملIntegral Forms of Kac–moody Groups and Eisenstein Series in Low Dimensional Supergravity Theories
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 in finite ...
متن کاملThe Spherical Hecke Algebra for Affine Kac-moody Groups I
We define the spherical Hecke algebra for an (untwisted) affine Kac-Moody group over a local non-archimedian field. We prove a generalization of the Satake isomorphism for these algebras, relating it to integrable representations of the Langlands dual affine Kac-Moody group. In the next publication we shall use these results to define and study the notion of Hecke eigenfunction for the group Ga...
