Kac-Moody Groups, Their Flag Varieties and Representation Theory

by Shrawan Kumar and S. Kumar

Book Overview

Kac-Moody Lie algebras 9 were introduced in the mid-1960s independently by V. Kac and R. Moody, generalizing the finite-dimensional semisimple Lie alge- bras which we refer to as the finite case. The theory has undergone tremendous developments in various directions and connections with diverse areas abound, including mathematical physics, so much so that this theory has become a stan- dard tool in mathematics. A detailed treatment of the Lie algebra...
