Abelian ideals of a Borel subalgebra and root systems. II

Abstract: Let

m a t h f r a k g

be a simple Lie algebra with a Borel subalgebra

m a t h f r a k b

and

m a t h f r a k A b

the set of abelian ideals of

m a t h f r a k b

. Let

D e l t a^{+}

be the corresponding set of positive roots. We continue our study of combinatorial properties of the partition of

m a t h f r a k A b

parameterised by the long positive roots. In particular, the union of an arbitrary set of maximal abelian ideals is described, if

m a t h f r a k g e m a t h f r a k {s l}_{n}

. We also characterise the greatest lower bound of two positive roots, when it exists, and point out interesting subposets of

D e l t a^{+}

that are modular lattices.
