Maximum-rank root subsystems of hyperbolic root systems (Q4658285)

Let \(\Delta\) be a root system of a hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra. A root system \(\Delta_{1}\subset \Delta\) is called a root subsystem of \(\Delta\) if the following condition holds: if \(\alpha,\beta\subset \Delta_{1} {\text{ and}} \alpha+\beta\subset \Delta,\) then \(\alpha+\beta\subset \Delta_{1}.\) A subalgebra \ \(g\) \ of \(g(A)\) is called regular if \(g_1\) is invariant with respect to some Cartan subalgebra \(H\) of \(g(A)\). A hyperbolic root system is defined as a root system of a Kac-Moody algebra of hyperbolic type and the rank of a root system is given by the rank of the corresponding generalized Cartan matrix. In this paper, the author proves that each minimal decomposition of a hyperbolic simplex corresponds to some root subsystem of a hyperbolic root system and each decomposition of a hyperbolic simplex into hyperbolic simplexes corresponds to some root subsystem. All maximum-rank hyperbolic subsystems of hyperbolic systems of rank 3--10 are listed in the form of figures, too.
