Abstract: The dual space of the Cartan subalgebra in a Kac-Moody algebra has a partial ordering defined by the rule that two elements are related if and only if their difference is a non-negative or non-positive integer linear combination of simple roots. In this paper, we study the subposet formed by dominant weights in affine Kac-Moody algebras. We give a more explicit description of the covering relations in this poset. We also study the structure of basic cells in this poset of dominant weights for untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebras of type A.

Review text

Let \(\mathfrak{g}\) be an affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra. The set of dominant integral weight \(\Lambda^+\) is a poset with respect to the partial order \(\lambda-\mu\ge 0\) if it is a non-negative integer combination of simple roots. The author shows that each connected component of this poset is a lattice and explicitly describes the conditions for the relation that \(\lambda\) covers \(\mu\) in \(\Lambda^+\). This is not the same as the case of a simple Lie algebra. For the type \(A_{n+1}^{(1)}\), the author also explicitly describes the basic cell structure in the poset of dominant integral weights.
