The classification of convex orders on affine root systems

Quantum Algebra 2007-05-23 v3 Representation Theory

Abstract

We classify all total orders having a certain convex property on the positive root system of an arbitrary untwisted affine Lie algebra g{\frak g}. Such total orders are called convex orders and are used to construct convex bases of Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt type of the upper triangular subalgebra Uq+U_q^+ of the quantized enveloping algebra Uq(g)U_q({\frak g}).
