In this article, we consider mechanical billiard systems defined with Lagrange's integrable extension of Euler's two-center problems in the Euclidean space, on the sphere, and in the hyperbolic space of arbitrary dimension $n \ge 3$. In the…
The 727-dimensional root space associated with the level-2 root $\bLambda_1$ of the hyperbolic Kac--Moody algebra $E_{10}$ is determined using a recently developed string theoretic approach to hyperbolic algebras. The explicit form of the…
A description of the bosonic sector of ten-dimensional N=1 supergravity as a non-linear realisation is given. We show that if a suitable extension of this theory were invariant under a Kac-Moody algebra, then this algebra would have to…
The purpose of this article is to highlight the fascinating, but only very incompletely understood relation between Einstein's theory and its generalizations on the one hand, and the theory of indefinite, and in particular hyperbolic, Kac…
A class of infinite dimensional Galilean conformal algebra in (2+1) dimensional spacetime is studied. Each member of the class, denoted by \alg_{\ell}, is labelled by the parameter \ell. The parameter \ell takes a spin value, i.e., 1/2, 1,…
It is shown in detail that the dynamics of the Einstein-dilaton-p-form system in the vicinity of a spacelike singularity can be asymptotically described, at a generic spatial point, as a billiard motion in a region of Lobachevskii space…
The hyperbolic Lie algebras with symmetrizable Cartan matrix are classified, there are 142 of them some of which can be ``superized'' to an almost affine Lie superalgebra. We list all 97 pairs (a hyperbolic Lie algebra $H$, its superized…
The hyperbolic (and more generally, Lorentzian) Kac-Moody (KM) Lie algebras $\cA$ of rank $r+2 > 2$ are shown to have a rich structure of indefinite KM subalgebras which can be described by specifying a subset of positive real roots of…
We review the recently discovered interplay between chaos and symmetry in the general inhomogeneous solution of many string-related Einstein-matter systems in the vicinity of a cosmological singularity. The…
We study the quantum fermionic billiard defined by the dynamics of a quantized supersymmetric squashed three-sphere (Bianchi IX cosmological model within D=4 simple supergravity). The quantization of the homogeneous gravitino field leads to…
Close to a spacelike singularity, pure gravity and supergravity in four to eleven spacetime dimensions admit a cosmological billiard description based on hyperbolic Kac-Moody groups. We investigate the quantum cosmological billiards of…
We define regular Kac-Moody superalgebras and classify them using integrable modules. We give conditions for irreducible highest weight modules of regular Kac-Moody superalgebras to be integrable. This paper is a major part of the proof for…
A model of multidimensional mixmaster-type vacuum universe is considered. It belongs to a class of pseudo-Euclidean chains characterized by root vectors. An algebraic approach of our investigation is founded on construction of Cartan matrix…
It is shown that the never ending oscillatory behaviour of the generic solution, near a cosmological singularity, of the massless bosonic sector of superstring theory can be described as a billiard motion within a simplex in 9-dimensional…
We present a classification of the hyperbolic Kac-Moody (HKM) superalgebras. The HKM superalgebras of rank larger or equal than 3 are finite in number (213) and limited in rank (6). The Dynkin-Kac diagrams and the corresponding simple root…
The Lorentzian Kac-Moody algebra E11, obtained by doubly overextending the compact E8, is decomposed into representations of its canonical hyperbolic E10 subalgebra. Whereas the appearing representations at levels 0 and 1 are known on…
We use the theory of Clifford algebras and Vahlen groups to study Weyl groups of hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras T_n^{++}, obtained by a process of double extension from a Cartan matrix of finite type T_n, whose corresponding generalized…
In 1983, Feingold and Frenkel discovered a relation between Siegel modular forms of genus two and a rank-three hyperbolic Kac--Moody algebra extending the affine Lie algebra of type $A_1$. It inspires a problem to explore more general…
The analog of the principal SO(3) subalgebra of a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra can be defined for any hyperbolic Kac Moody algebra g(A) associated with a symmetrizable Cartan matrix A, and coincides with the non-compact group…
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…
