Reflection groups in hyperbolic spaces and the denominator formula for Lorentzian Kac--Moody Lie algebras
Abstract
This is a continuation of our "Lecture on Kac--Moody Lie algebras of the arithmetic type" \cite{25}. We consider hyperbolic (i.e. signature ) integral symmetric bilinear form (i.e. hyperbolic lattice), reflection group , fundamental polyhedron of and an acceptable (corresponding to twisting coefficients) set of vectors orthogonal to faces of (simple roots). One can construct the corresponding Lorentzian Kac--Moody Lie algebra which is graded by . We show that has good behavior of imaginary roots, its denominator formula is defined in a natural domain and has good automorphic properties if and only if has so called {\it restricted arithmetic type}. We show that every finitely generated (i.e. is finite) algebra may be embedded to of the restricted arithmetic type. Thus, Lorentzian Kac--Moody Lie algebras of the restricted arithmetic type is a natural class to study. Lorentzian Kac--Moody Lie algebras of the restricted arithmetic type have the best automorphic properties for the denominator function if they have {\it a lattice Weyl vector }. Lorentzian Kac--Moody Lie algebras of the restricted arithmetic type with generalized lattice Weyl vector are called {\it elliptic}
