We introduce and study "2-roots", which are symmetrized tensor products of orthogonal roots of Kac--Moody algebras. We concentrate on the case where $W$ is the Weyl group of a simply laced Y-shaped Dynkin diagram $Y_{a,b,c}$ having $n$…

Let R and S be two irreducible root systems spanning the same vector space and having the same Weyl group W, such that S (but not necessarily R) is reduced. For each such pair (R,S) we construct a family of W-invariant orthogonal…

Intermediate Macdonald polynomials for an affine root system $S$ with fixed origin and finite Weyl group $W_0$ are orthogonal polynomials invariant under a parabolic subgroup $W_J\le W_0$. The extreme cases of $W_J=1$ and $W_J=W_0$…

See Parts I and II in alg-geom/9711032 and alg-geom/9712033. Here we classify maximal hyperbolic root systems of the rank three having restricted arithmetic type and a generalized lattice Weyl vector $\rho$ with $\rho^2<0$ (i. e. of the…

From a root system, one may consider the arrangement of reflecting hyperplanes, as well as its toric and elliptic analogues. The corresponding Weyl group acts on the complement of the arrangement and hence on its cohomology. We consider a…

Every irreducible odd dimensional representation of the $n$'th symmetric or hyperoctahedral group, when restricted to the $(n-1)$'th, has a unique irreducible odd-dimensional constituent. Furthermore, the subgraph induced by odd-dimensional…

This paper is a continuation of our papers \cite{EK1, EK2}. In \cite{EK2} we showed that for the root system $A_{n-1}$ one can obtain Macdonald's polynomials as weighted traces of intertwining operators between certain finite-dimensional…

Let $k$ be the algebraic closure of a finite field, $G$ a Chevalley group over $k$, $U$ the maximal unipotent subgroup of $G$. To each orthogonal subset $D$ of the root system of the group $G$ and each set $\xi$ of $|D|$ non-zero scalars…

Cayley-Dickson doubling procedure is used to construct the root systems of some celebrated Lie algebras in terms of the integer elements of the division algebras of real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions and octonions. Starting with the…

Here we prove classification results announced in Part I (alg-geom/9711032). We classify maximal hyperbolic root systems of the rank 3 having restricted arithmetic type and a generalized lattice Weyl vector $\rho$ with $\rho^2\ge 0$ (i.e.…

In this paper, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between the set of biclosed sets in an irreducible root system of type $A_n$ and the set of quasitrivial semigroup structures on a set with $n+1$ elements. Building on this…

Oshima's Lemma describes the orbits of parabolic subgroups of irreducible finite Weyl groups on crystallographic root systems. This note generalises that result to all root systems of finite Coxeter groups, and provides a self contained…

We generalize Baker-Bowler's theory of matroids over tracts to orthogonal matroids, define orthogonal matroids with coefficients in tracts in terms of Wick functions, orthogonal signatures, circuit sets, and orthogonal vector sets, and…

Let $\varPhi$ be a root system of a finite Weyl group $W$ with simple roots $\Delta$ and corresponding simple reflections $S$. For $J \subseteq S$, denote by $W_J$ the standard parabolic subgroup of $W$ generated by $J$, and by $\Delta_J…

This paper is a continuation of our papers [EK1, EK2]. In [EK2] we showed that for the root system A_n-1 one can obtain Macdonald's polynomials - a new interesting class of symmetric functions recently defined by I. Macdonald {M1] - as…

We investigate the class of root systems R obtained by extending an irreducible root system by a torsion-free group G. In this context there is a Weyl group W and a group U with the presentation by conjugation. We show under additional…

It was recently understood that from the point of view of automorphic Lorentzian Kac-Moody algebras and some aspects of Mirror Symmetry, interesting hyperbolic root systems should have restricted arithmetic type and a generalized lattice…

We study the subgroup structure, Hecke algebras, quasi-regular representations, and asymptotic properties of some fractal groups of branch type. We introduce parabolic subgroups, show that they are weakly maximal, and that the corresponding…

We give a combinatorial description (including explicit differential-form bases) for the cohomology groups of the space of n distinct nonzero complex numbers, with coefficients in rank-one local systems which are of finite monodromy around…

A structure of a complete lattice (in the sense of a poset) is defined on the underlying set of the orhtogonal group of a real Euclidean space, by a construction analogous to that of the weak order of a Coxeter system in terms of its root…
