Abstract: We investigate in detail relationships between the set

{m a t h f r a k B}^{i} n f t y

of all infinite ``biconvex sets in the positive root system $D e l t a_{+}$ of an arbitrary untwisted affine Lie algebra $m a t h f r a k g$ and the set ${m a t h c a l W}^{i} n f t y$ of all infinite ``reduced word of the Weyl group of

m a t h f r a k g

. The study is applied to the classification of ``convex orders on $D e l t a_{+}$ (cf. cite{kI}), which are indispensable to construct ``convex bases of Poincar'e-Birkhoff-Witt type of the upper triangular subalgebra

U_{q}^{+}

of the quantized universal enveloping algebra

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k g)

. We construct a set

by using data of the underlying finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra, and bijective mappings

and

such that

a b l a = v a r P h i^{i} n f t y c i r c c h i

, where

W^{i} n f t y

is an quotient set of

{m a t h c a l W}^{i} n f t y

and

v a r P h i^{i} n f t y c o l o n W^{i} n f t y o {m a t h f r a k B}^{i} n f t y

is a natural injective mapping.

Review text

Let $\Delta$ be the root system of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, $\Delta_+$ the set of all positive roots relative to the root basis $\Pi=\{\alpha_i\mid i\in{\mathbf I}\}$, and $W=\langle s_i\mid i\in{\mathbf I}\rangle$ the Weyl group of $\mathfrak g$, where $s_i$ is the reflection associated with $\alpha_i$. We call a subset $B\subset\Delta_+$ a biconvex set if it satisfies the following conditions: (i) $\beta,\gamma\in B$, $\beta+\gamma\in\Delta_+\Rightarrow\beta+\gamma\in B$; (ii) $\beta,\gamma\in\Delta_+\setminus B$, $\beta+\gamma\in\Delta_+\Rightarrow\beta+\gamma\in\Delta_+\setminus B$. In this paper, the author investigates in detail relationships between infinite reduced words and infinite real biconvex sets in the case where $\mathfrak g$ is an arbitrary untwisted affine Lie algebra. The study is applied to the classification of ``convex orders on $\Delta_+$, which is indispensable to construct ``convex bases of Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt type of the strictly upper-triangular subalgebra $U^+_q$ of the quantized universal enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak g)$.
