Abstract: The root systems appearing in the theory of Lie superalgebras and Nichols algebras admit a large symmetry extending properly the one coming from the Weyl group. Based on this observation we set up a general framework in which the symmetry object is a groupoid. We prove that in our context the groupoid is generated by reflections and Coxeter relations. This answers a question of Serganova. Our weak version of the exchange condition allows us to prove Matsumoto's theorem. Therefore the word problem is solved for the groupoid.

Review text

In the paper under review the authors provide an abstract framework for certain generalizations of root systems and their associated Coxeter groupoids which cover root systems of a large class of quantized Kac-Moody algebras and Lie superalgebras as well as Nichols algebras appearing in the recent classification of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with Abelian group-like part due to Schneider and Andruskiewitsch (but not generalized Kac-Moody algebras à la Borcherds). The authors prove that every generalized root system has a Coxeter groupoid coming with a natural faithful representation which therefore is the natural analogue of the Weyl group of a classical root system. This answers a question of \textit{V. Serganova} [Commun. Algebra 24, No. 13, 4281-4299 (1996; Zbl 0902.17002)]. Moreover, the Coxeter groupoid satisfies a weak exchange property and as a consequence an analogue of Matsumoto's theorem. The paper concludes with two examples, one being a finite dimensional simple Lie superalgebra of type \(D\) and one appearing in the classification of Nichols algebras but being neither related to Kac-Moody algebras nor to Lie superalgebras. Both examples show that the natural generalization of the exchange condition from Coxeter groups to Coxeter groupoids does not always hold.
