Lie Algebras with Triangular Decompositions

by Robert V. Moody and Arturo Pianzola

Published 22 May 1995

Imparts a self--contained development of the algebraic theory of Kac--Moody algebras, their representations and close relatives----the Virasoro and Heisenberg algebras. Focuses on developing the theory of triangular decompositions and part of the Kac--Moody theory not specific to the affine case. Also covers lattices, and finite root systems, infinite--dimensional theory, Weyl groups and conjugacy theorems.
