This paper gives an inequality relating the order of an automorphism of $\\mathfrak g$ to the dimension of its fixed-point subalgebra, and characterizes those automorphisms of $\\mathfrak g$ for which equality occurs. This is amounts to an inequality/equality for Thomae's function on the group of automorphisms of $\\mathfrak g$. The result has applications to characters of zero weight spaces, graded Lie algebras, and inequalities for adjoint Swan conductors.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-07-31T13:14:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "22E10" ], "keywords": [ "thomaes function", "lie group", "simple complex lie algebra", "automorphism", "adjoint swan conductors" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
