Kac-Moody groups as discrete groups

Group Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

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 SS-arithmetic groups, and exhibiting properties showing that they are new groups.
