Let $\mathfrak g$ be a semisimple Lie algebra, $\vartheta\in {\sf Aut}(\mathfrak g)$ a finite order automorphism, and $\mathfrak g_0$ the subalgebra of fixed points of $\vartheta$. Recently, we noticed that using $\vartheta$ one can…

We study subsets in possibly degenerate symplectic vector spaces over finite fields, which are stable under a given Coxeter/Weyl reflection group. These symplectic root systems provide crucial combinatorical data to classify…

This paper studies three results that describe the structure of the super-coinvariant algebra of pseudo-reflection groups over a field of characteristic $0$. Our most general result determines the top component in total degree, which we…

In this paper, we give a finite number of defining relations satisfied by a finite number of generators for the elliptic Lie algebras and superalgebras ${\frak g}_R$ with rank $\geq 2$. Here the $R$'s denote the reduced and non-reduced…

To a finite group G one can associate a tower of wreath products S_n[G]. It is well known that the graded direct sum of the Grothendieck groups of the categories of finite dimensional complex representations of these groups can be given the…

We prove that every automorphism of the restricted root system of a real semisimple Lie algebra -- when defined properly -- can be lifted to an automorphism of that Lie algebra. In particular, this can be applied to automorphisms of the…

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…

For any involution $\sigma$ of a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, one constructs a non-reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak k$, which is called a $\mathbb Z_2$-contraction of $\mathfrak g$. In this paper, we attack the problem of…

We name an indecomposable symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix $A$ and the corresponding Kac--Moody Lie algebra ${\goth g} ^\prime (A)$ {\it of the arithmetic type} if for any $\beta \in Q$ with $(\beta | \beta)<0$ there exist $n(\beta…

Let $\sigma$ be a simple involution of an algebraic semisimple group $G$ and let $H$ be the subgroup of $G$ of points fixed by $\sigma$. If the restricted root system is of type $A$, $C$ or $BC$ and $G$ is simply connected or if the…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra and $M$ be a $\mathfrak{g}$-module. The Fernando-Kac subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$ associated to $M$ is the subset $\mathfrak{g}[M]\subset\mathfrak{g}$ of all elements $g\in\mathfrak{g}$…

An algebraic group is called semi-reductive if it is a semi-direct product of a reductive subgroup and the unipotent radical. Such a semi-reductive algebraic group naturally arises and also plays a key role in the study of modular…

Let $\mathbb{k}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $ p>0. $ In this short note, we illustrate a class of Lie superalgebras over $ \mathbb{k} $ such that the category of restricted supermodules is of one block. As an…

We quantize the generalized-Witt algebra in characteristic 0 with its Lie bialgebra structures discovered by Song-Su (\cite{GY}). Via a modulo p reduction and a modulo "p-restrictedness" reduction process, we get 2^n{-}1 families of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group, let $\theta$ be an involution of $\Gamma$, and let $\rho$ be an irreducible complex representation of $\Gamma$. We bound $\dim \rho^{\Gamma^{\theta}}$ in terms of the smallest dimension of a faithful…

Given a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra $\mathfrack{g}$, we study its $\pi$-systems, which are subsets of real roots, the pairwise differences of whose elements are not roots. Such systems arise as simple systems of regular subalgebras of…

For a symmetric Lie algebra $\mathfrak g=\mathfrak k\oplus\mathfrak p$ we consider a class of bilinear or more general control-affine systems on $\mathfrak p$ defined by a drift vector field $X$ and control vector fields $\mathrm{ad}_{k_i}$…

Many integrable theories can be formulated universally in terms of Lie algebraic root systems. Well-studied are conformally invariant scalar field theories of Toda type and their massive versions, which can be expressed in terms of simple…
