We classify regular subalgebras of affine Kac-Moody algebras in terms of their root systems. In the process, we establish that a root system of a subalgebra is always an intersection of the root system of the algebra with a sublattice of…
We discuss the known results and methods for determining root multiplicities for hyperbolic Kac--Moody algebras.
We propose a novel way to define imaginary root subgroups associated with (timelike) imaginary roots of hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras. Using in an essential way the theory of unitary irreducible representation of covers of the group…
We extend a conjugacy Theorem of Cartan subalgebras, originally established for symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras, to the broader context of affine Kac-Moody superalgebras. Along the way, we obtain several results that deepen our…
In this note, we provide a complete description of the closed sets of real roots in a Kac-Moody root system.
Starting from Borcherds' fake monster Lie algebra we construct a sequence of six generalized Kac-Moody algebras whose denominator formulas, root systems and all root multiplicities can be described explicitly. The root systems decompose…
A Kac-Moody algebra is called hyperbolic if it corresponds to a generalized Cartan matrix of hyperbolic type. We study root subsystems of root systems of hyperbolic algebras. In this paper, we classify maximal rank regular hyperbolic…
We completely classify the real root subsystems of root systems of loop algebras of Kac-Moody Lie algebras. This classification involves new notions of "admissible subgroups" of the coweight lattice of a root system $\Psi$, and "scaling…
We define regular Kac-Moody superalgebras and classify them using integrable modules. We give conditions for irreducible highest weight modules of regular Kac-Moody superalgebras to be integrable. This paper is a major part of the proof for…
We completely classify and give explicit descriptions of the maximal closed subroot systems of real affine root systems. As an application we describe a procedure to get the classification of all regular subalgebras of affine Kac Moody…
We present combinatorial upper bounds on dimensions of certain imaginary root spaces for symmetric Kac-Moody algebras. These come from the realization of the corresponding infinity-crystal using quiver varieties. The framework is general,…
Motivated by a construction of Gorelik and Shaviv, we show that the real roots of a root generated subalgebra associated with a $\pi$-system contained in the positive roots are obtained by successive applications of even and odd reflections…
Over-extended Kac-Moody algebras contain so-called gradient structures - a gl(d)-covariant level decomposition of the algebra contains strings of modules at different levels that can be interpreted as spatial gradients. We present an…
The aim of this paper is to extend the theory of standard subalgebras of finite dimensional simple Lie algebras to infinite dimensional Lie algebras. We construct and characterize a class of standard subalgebras of affine Kac-Moody algebra.
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 hyperbolic (and more generally, Lorentzian) Kac-Moody (KM) Lie algebras $\cA$ of rank $r+2 > 2$ are shown to have a rich structure of indefinite KM subalgebras which can be described by specifying a subset of positive real roots of…
We introduce a notion of a root groupoid as a replacement of the notion of Weyl group for (Kac-Moody) Lie superalgebras. The objects of the root groupoid classify certain root data, the arrows are defined by generators and relations. As an…
The derived algebra of a symmetrizible Kac-Moody algebra $\lie g$ is generated (as a Lie algebra) by its root spaces corresponding to real roots. In this paper, we address the natural reverse question: given any subset of real root vectors,…
We introduce a new class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, which we refer to as continuum Kac-Moody algebras. Their construction is closely related to that of usual Kac-Moody algebras, but they feature a continuum root system with no…
In the past two decades there has been a great attention to Lie (super)algebras which are extensions of affine Kac-Moody Lie (super)algebras, in certain typical or axiomatic approaches. These Lie (super)algebras have been mostly studied…
