In \cite{CM06} Caprace and M\"uhlherr solved the isomorphism problem for Kac-Moody groups of non-spherical type over finite fields of cardinality at least $4$. In this paper we solve the isomorphism problem for RGD-systems (e.g.\ Kac-Moody…

In this paper we discuss the isomorphism types of parabolic subgroups in Kac-Moody groups. The results have applications in the study of topology of Kac-Moody groups and their classifying spaces.

We consider the isomorphism problem for almost split Kac--Moody groups, which have been constructed by R\'emy via Galois descent from split Kac-Moody groups as defined by Tits. We show that under certain technical assumptions, any…

The paper is devoted to model-theoretic properties of Kac-Moody groups with the focus on elementary equivalence of Kac-Moody groups. We show that elementary equivalence of (untwisted) affine Kac-Moody groups implies coincidence of their…

We use methods developed by Caprace and M\"uhlherr to solve the isomorphism problem of unitary forms of infinite split Kac-Moody groups over finite fields of square order.

We compute the mod $p$ cohomology algebra of a family of infinite discrete Kac-Moody groups of rank two defined over finite fields of characteristic different from $p$.

Let $k_1,k_2$ be two fields of characteristic 0. Let $G_1$ be a split semisimple algebraic group over $k_1$, $G_2$ a split Kac--Moody group over $k_2$ and $\phi\colon G_1(k_1)\to G_2(k_2)$ an abstract embedding. We show that $\im \phi$ is a…

This survey paper presents the discrete group viewpoint on Kac-Moody groups. Over finite fields, the latter groups are finitely generated; they act on new buildings enjoying remarkable negative curvature properties. The study of these…

Kac--Moody groups $G$ over $\mathbb{R}$ have been conjectured to occur as symmetry groups of supergravity theories dimensionally reduced to dimensions less than 3, and their integral forms $G(\mathbb{Z})$ conjecturally encode quantized…

In this paper we show that Weyl-invariant commutator blueprints of type $(4, 4, 4)$ are faithful. As a consequence we answer a question of Tits from the late $1980$s about twin buildings. Moreover, we obtain the first example of a…

The relationship between minimal algebraic Kac-Moody groups and twin buildings is well known as is the relationship between formal completions in one direction and affine buildings. Nevertheless, as the completion of a Kac-Moody group in…

A lot of developments made during the last years show that Kac-Moody algebras play an important role in the algebraic structure of some supergravity theories. These algebras would generate infinite-dimensional symmetry groups. The possible…

The geometry of symmetric spaces, polar actions, isoparametric submanifolds and spherical buildings is governed by spherical Weyl groups and simple Lie groups. A natural generalization of semisimple Lie groups are affine Kac-Moody groups as…

We prove that if two finite metacyclic groups have isomorphic rational group algebras, then they are isomorphic. This contributes to understand where is the line separating positive and negative solutions to the Isomorphism Problem for…

We call a flag variety admissible if its automorphism group is the projective general linear group. (This holds in most cases.) Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$, containing all roots of unity. Let the $K$-variety $X$ be a form of an…

This paper investigates type isomorphism in a lambda-calculus with intersection and union types. It is known that in lambda-calculus, the isomorphism between two types is realised by a pair of terms inverse one each other. Notably,…

The Modular Isomorphism Problem asks if an isomorphism of group algebras of two finite p-groups G and H over a field of characteristic p, implies an isomorhism of the groups G and H. We survey the history of the problem, explain strategies…

In this paper, we compute the rational cohomology groups of the classifying space of a simply connected Kac-Moody group of infinite type. The fundamental principle is "from finite to infinite". That is, for a Kac-Moody group G(A) of…

In the present article we introduce and study a class of topological reflection spaces that we call Kac-Moody symmetric spaces. These generalize Riemannian symmetric spaces of non-compact type. We observe that in a non-spherical Kac-Moody…

We prove that an isomorphism between saturated fusion systems over the same finite p-group is detected on the elementary abelian subgroups of the hyperfocal subgroup if p is odd, and on the abelian subgroups of the hyperfocal subgroup of…
