Abstract

For a simply laced and hyperbolic Kac--Moody group G=G(R)G=G(R) over a commutative ring RR with 1, we consider a map from a finite presentation of G(R)G(R) obtained by Allcock and Carbone to a representation--theoretic construction Gλ(R)G^{\lambda}(R) corresponding to an integrable representation VλV^{\lambda} with dominant integral weight λ\lambda. When R=ZR=\Z, we prove that this map extends to a group homomorphism ρλ,Z:G(Z)Gλ(Z).\rho_{\lambda,\Z}: G(\Z) \to G^{\lambda}(\Z). We prove that the kernel KλK^{\lambda} of the map ρ\lam,Z:G(Z)G\lam(Z)\rho_{\lam,\Z}: G(\Z)\to G^{\lam}(\Z) lies in H(\C)H(\C) and if the group homomorphism φ:G(Z)G(\C)\varphi:G(\Z)\to G(\C) is injective, then KλH(Z)(Z/2Z)rank(G)K^{\lambda}\leq H(\Z)\cong(\Z/2\Z)^{rank(G)}.
