Small Schubert cells as subsets in Lie algebras (Q1180104)

Let \({\mathfrak G}\) be a Kac-Moody algebra defined by a Cartan matrix. The author studies the Kac-Moody group \(G\) associated with \({\mathfrak G}\). The group \(G\) is generated by automorphisms \(\exp (\text{ad} x)\), where \(x \in {\mathfrak G}_ r\) for \(r \in \Delta^{re}\), where \(\Delta^{re}\) denotes the set of real roots of \({\mathfrak G}\). We denote further by \(B\) the normalizer in \(G\) of the subgroup \(\langle \{\exp (\text{ad} x);\;x \in {\mathfrak G}_ r\), \(r \in (\Delta^{re})^ +\} \rangle\). For \(h \in {\mathfrak H}\) (the Cartan subalgebra), we define \(P_ h\) to be the normalizer in \(G\) of the subgroup \(\langle \{\exp (\text{ad} x);\;x \in {\mathfrak G}_ r, \langle h,r \rangle \geq 0\}\rangle\). Let \(\Pi = \alpha_ 1,\dots,\alpha_ n\) be a system of simple real roots for \({\mathfrak G}\) of finite growth \(h=\sum \alpha_ i\). The first theorem asserts that \(G\) is a \(BN\)-pair with the Borel subgroup \(P=P_ h\) and normal standard parabolic subgroups \(P_{\alpha_ i}\). In his previous papers [see e.g., On embeddings of some geometries and flag systems in Lie algebras and superalgebras, Akad. Nauk Ukr. SSR Inst. Mat., Preprint 1990, No. 8, 3-17] the author showed that the incidence system of flags \(\Gamma_ P(G)\) in \(G\) can be considered also as a subset \(HG^ -_ \Pi ({\mathfrak G})\) in \({\mathfrak G}\). In the third theorem an isomorphism of incidence systems \(HG^ -_ \Pi ({\mathfrak G}) \to \Gamma_ P(G)\) is introduced, and an equivalence relation \(\sim_ c\) is defined such that each \(\sim_ c\)-equivalence class is mapped onto a small Schubert cell. The second and fourth theorems are only versions of the first and third theorems in the situation where a simple symmetry of \(\Pi\) is given. The proofs of the theorems are not included.
