Abstract involutions of algebraic groups and of Kac–Moody groups

چکیده
Based on the second author’s thesis [Hor08] in this article we provide a uniform treatment of abstract involutions of algebraic groups and of Kac–Moody groups using twin buildings, RGD systems, and twisted involutions of Coxeter groups. Notably we simultaneously generalize the double coset decompositions established in [Spr84], [HW93] for algebraic groups and in [KW92] for certain Kac–Moody groups, we analyze the filtration studied in [DM07] in the context of arbitrary involutions, and we answer a structural question on the combinatorics of involutions of twin buildings raised in [BGHS03].

Integer 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 کاملCase for support Unitary forms of Kac–Moody algebras and Kac–Moody groups
The proposed project is set in pure mathematics within the areas of infinite-dimensional Lie theory and geometric group theory. Its goal is to contribute to the structure theory of unitary forms (i.e., centralisers of Chevalley involutions) of Kac–Moody algebras and of Kac–Moody groups of indefinite type. The main emphasis of this project will be on finite-dimensional representations and on ide...

متن کاملLecture 6: Kac-moody Algebras, Reductive Groups, and Representations
We start by introducing Kac-Moody algebras and completing the classification of finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebras. We then discuss the classification of finite dimensional representations of semisimple Lie algebras (and, more generally, integrable highest weight representations of Kac-Moody algebras). We finish by discussing the structure and representation theory of reductive algebrai...
متن کاملKac–moody Groups and Automorphic Forms in Low Dimensional Supergravity Theories
Kac–Moody groups G over R have been conjectured to occur as symmetry groups of supergravity theories dimensionally reduced to dimensions less than 3, and their integral forms G(Z) conjecturally encode quantized symmetries. In this review paper, we briefly introduce the conjectural symmetries of Kac–Moody groups in supergravity as well as the known evidence for these conjectures. We describe con...
