Abstract

We investigate in detail relationships between the set B{\mathfrak B}^\infty of all infinite ``biconvex'' sets in the positive root system Δ+\Delta_+ of an arbitrary untwisted affine Lie algebra g{\mathfrak g} and the set W{\mathcal W}^\infty of all infinite ``reduced word'' of the Weyl group of g{\mathfrak g}. The study is applied to the classification of ``convex orders'' on Δ+\Delta_+ (cf. \cite{kI}), which are indispensable to construct ``convex bases'' of Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt type of the upper triangular subalgebra Uq+U_q^+ of the quantized universal enveloping algebra Uq(g)U_q({\mathfrak g}). We construct a set P\boldsymbol{\mathcal P} by using data of the underlying finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra, and bijective mappings  ⁣:PB\nabla\colon\boldsymbol{\mathcal P}\to{\mathfrak B}^\infty and χ ⁣:PW\chi\colon\boldsymbol{\mathcal P}\to W^\infty such that =Φχ\nabla=\varPhi^\infty\circ\chi, where WW^\infty is an quotient set of W{\mathcal W}^\infty and Φ ⁣:WB\varPhi^\infty\colon W^\infty\to{\mathfrak B}^\infty is a natural injective mapping.
