Thomae's function on a Lie group

Abstract: Let

m a t h f r a k g

be a simple complex Lie algebra of finite dimension. This paper gives an inequality relating the order of an automorphism of

m a t h f r a k g

to the dimension of its fixed-point subalgebra, and characterizes those automorphisms of

m a t h f r a k g

for which equality occurs. This is amounts to an inequality/equality for Thomae's function on the group of automorphisms of

m a t h f r a k g

. The result has applications to characters of zero weight spaces, graded Lie algebras, and inequalities for adjoint Swan conductors.
