Abstract
The behavior of objects associated with general extended affine Lie algebras is typically distinct from their counterparts in affine Lie algebras. Our research focuses on studying characters and Cartan automorphisms, which appear in the study of Chevalley involutions and Chevalley bases for extended affine Lie algebras. We show that for almost all extended affine Lie algebras, any finite-order Cartan automorphism is diagonal, and its corresponding combinatorial map is a character.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics provides a single forum for papers on algebraic combinatorics which, at present, are distributed throughout a number of journals. Within the last decade or so, algebraic combinatorics has evolved into a mature, established and identifiable area of mathematics. Research contributions in the field are increasingly seen to have substantial links with other areas of mathematics.
The journal publishes papers in which combinatorics and algebra interact in a significant and interesting fashion. This interaction might occur through the study of combinatorial structures using algebraic methods, or the application of combinatorial methods to algebraic problems.
