Isomorphisms of Kac-Moody groups which preserve bounded subgroups

Group Theory 2010-02-08 v1 Geometric Topology

Abstract

A subgroup of a Kac-Moody group is called bounded if it is contained in the intersection of two finite type parabolic subgroups of opposite signs. In this paper, we study the isomorphisms between Kac-Moody groups over arbitrary fields of cardinality at least 4, which preserve the set of bounded subgroups. We show that such an isomorphism between two such Kac-Moody groups induces an isomorphism between the respective twin root data of these groups. As a consequence, we obtain the solution of the isomorphism problem for Kac-Moody groups over finite fields of cardinality at least 4.
