Abstract: We use methods developed by Caprace and M"uhlherr to solve the isomorphism problem of unitary forms of infinite split Kac-Moody groups over finite fields of square order.

Review text

In this paper the authors prove the following result: Main theorem. Let \(q\) and \(r\) be arbitrary prime powers, \(G\) and \(G'\) be infinite split Kac-Moody groups over \(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}\) and \(\mathbb{F}_{r^2}\), respectively, and \(K\) and \(K'\) be their respective unitary forms. If there exists an isomorphism \(\varphi:K\rightarrow K'\), then \(q=r\) and there exists a bijection \(\pi:S\rightarrow S'\) between the corresponding sets of simple reflections, an inner automorphism \(\nu\) of \(K'\) and for each \(i\in S\) a diagonal-by-field automorphism \(\gamma_i\) of \(SU_2(\mathbb{F}_{q^2})\) such that \((\nu\circ\varphi)\circ \varphi_i=\varphi'_{\pi(i)}\circ\gamma_i\) for every \(i\) (as maps from \(SU_2(\mathbb{F}_{q^2})\) to \(K'\)). As a corollary the authors obtain that for every isomorphism \(\varphi:K\to K'\) there exists a unique isomorphism \(\psi:G\to G'\) satisfying \(\psi|_{K}^{K'}\equiv \varphi\).
