Abstract

For an untwisted affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} with Cartan and Borel subalgebras hbg\mathfrak{h} \subset \mathfrak{b} \subset \mathfrak{g}, affine Demazure modules are certain U(b)U(\mathfrak{b})-submodules of the irreducible highest-weight representations of g\mathfrak{g}. We introduce here the associated affine Demazure weight polytopes, given by the convex hull of the h\mathfrak{h}-weights of such a module. Using methods of geometric invariant theory, we determine inequalities which define these polytopes; these inequalities come in three distinct flavors, specified by the standard, opposite, or semi-infinite Bruhat orders. We also give a combinatorial characterization of the vertices of these polytopes lying on an arbitrary face, utilizing the more general class of twisted Bruhat orders.
