Uniqueness of representation--theoretic hyperbolic Kac--Moody groups over Z\Z

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

For a simply laced and hyperbolic Kac--Moody group G=G(R)G=G(R) over a commutative ring RR with 1, we consider a map from a finite presentation of G(R)G(R) obtained by Allcock and Carbone to a representation--theoretic construction Gλ(R)G^λ(R) corresponding to an integrable representation VλV^λ with dominant integral weight λλ. When R=ZR=\Z, we prove that this map extends to a group homomorphism ρλ,Z:G(Z)→Gλ(Z).ρ_{λ,\Z}: G(\Z) \to G^λ(\Z). We prove that the kernel KλK^λ of the map $ρ_{\lam,\Z}: G(\Z)\to G^{\lam}(\Z)$ lies in $H(\C)$ and if the group homomorphism $φ:G(\Z)\to G(\C)$ is injective, then Kλ≤H(Z)≅(Z/2Z)rank(G)K^λ\leq H(\Z)\cong(\Z/2\Z)^{rank(G)}.
