Kac Diagrams for Elliptic Weyl Group Elements

Representation Theory 2024-09-19 v2

Abstract

Suppose g\mathfrak{g} is a semisimple complex Lie algebra and h\mathfrak{h} is a Cartan subalgebra of g\mathfrak{g}. To the pair (g,h)(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{h}) one can associate both a Weyl group and a set of Kac diagrams. There is a natural map from the set of elliptic conjugacy classes in the Weyl group to the set of Kac diagrams. In both this setting and the twisted setting, this paper (a) shows that this map is injective and (b) explicitly describes this map's image.

Corrected an opacity hiccough in some of the diagrams. Comments welcome!
