A uniform construction of Chevalley normal forms for automorphic Lie algebras on the Riemann sphere
Abstract
For a finite subgroup of and one of its ground forms , we show that the space of invariants of degree is a cyclic module over the algebra of invariants of degree zero. We find a generator for this module, uniformly for all finite subgroups of . Then we construct a uniform intertwiner sending the scalar invariants to vector-valued invariants. With these tools we construct all automorphic Lie algebras defined by a homomorphism from the symmetry group into the automorphism group of a finite dimensional Lie algebra , which factors through . When the Lie algebra is simple, we present a set of generators for the automorphic Lie algebra which is analogous to the Chevalley basis for . Previous observations of isomorphisms between automorphic Lie algebras with distinct symmetry groups are explained in terms of the Coxeter number of and the orders appearing in . Finally, we compute the structure constants for automorphic Lie algebras of all exceptional Lie types.
