We completely classify and give explicit descriptions of the maximal closed subroot systems of real affine root systems. As an application we describe a procedure to get the classification of all regular subalgebras of affine Kac Moody…

In this paper we extend several results about root systems of Kac-Moody algebras to superalgebra context. In particular, we describe the root bases and the sets of imaginary roots.

We completely classify the real root subsystems of root systems of loop algebras of Kac-Moody Lie algebras. This classification involves new notions of "admissible subgroups" of the coweight lattice of a root system $\Psi$, and "scaling…

Any symmetric closed subset of a finite crystallographic root system must be a closed subroot system. This is not, in general, true for real affine root systems. In this paper, we determine when this is true and also give a very explicit…

We classify regular subalgebras of affine Kac-Moody algebras in terms of their root systems. In the process, we establish that a root system of a subalgebra is always an intersection of the root system of the algebra with a sublattice of…

Motivated by a construction of Gorelik and Shaviv, we show that the real roots of a root generated subalgebra associated with a $\pi$-system contained in the positive roots are obtained by successive applications of even and odd reflections…

Starting from Borcherds' fake monster Lie algebra we construct a sequence of six generalized Kac-Moody algebras whose denominator formulas, root systems and all root multiplicities can be described explicitly. The root systems decompose…

For a star-shaped Kac-Moody root system, we provide an effective algorithm to obtain representatives of the Weyl group orbits of roots with a given norm and implement it as a computer program. We also explain the relationship between these…

We outline a new approach to classify real forms and automorphisms of finite order of affine Kac-Moody algebras.

We define the formal affine Demazure algebra and formal affine Hecke algebra associated to a Kac-Moody root system. We prove the structure theorems of these algebras, hence, extending several result and construction (presentation in terms…

We introduce a new class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, which we refer to as continuum Kac-Moody algebras. Their construction is closely related to that of usual Kac-Moody algebras, but they feature a continuum root system with no…

A Kac-Moody algebra is called hyperbolic if it corresponds to a generalized Cartan matrix of hyperbolic type. We study root subsystems of root systems of hyperbolic algebras. In this paper, we classify maximal rank regular hyperbolic…

$\pi$-systems are fundamental in the study of Kac-Moody Lie algebras since they arise naturally in the embedding problems. Dynkin introduced them first and showed how they also appear in the classification of semisimple subalgebras of a…

This article is studying the roots of the reliability polynomials of linear consecutive-\textit{k}-out-of-\textit{n}:\textit{F} systems. We are able to prove that these roots are unbounded in the complex plane, for any fixed $k\ge2$. In the…

Sometimes a hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra admits an automorphic correction, meaning a generalized Kac-Moody algebra with the same real simple roots and whose denominator function has good automorphic properties; these for example allow one…

In this expository paper we review some recent results about representations of Kac-Moody groups. We sketch the construction of these groups. If practical, we present the ideas behind the proofs of theorems. At the end we pose open…

We identify the scaling region of a width O(n^{-1}) in the vicinity of the accumulation points $t=\pm 1$ of the real roots of a random Kac-like polynomial of large degree n. We argue that the density of the real roots in this region tends…

We discuss the known results and methods for determining root multiplicities for hyperbolic Kac--Moody algebras.

We introduce and study a combinatorially defined notion of root basis of a (real) root system of a possibly infinite Coxeter group. Known results on conjugacy up to sign of root bases of certain irreducible finite rank real root systems are…

The derived algebra of a symmetrizible Kac-Moody algebra $\lie g$ is generated (as a Lie algebra) by its root spaces corresponding to real roots. In this paper, we address the natural reverse question: given any subset of real root vectors,…
