These q-deformed algebras play a major role in the theory of the reflection equation. Essentially the same constructions can be made in a larger setting, where the automorphism is required to act involutively only on a stable Cartan subalgebra. We give a comprehensive Lie- and Coxeter-theoretic discussion of pseudo-involutions, pseudo-fixed-point subalgebras, including a survey of the associated restricted root systems and Weyl groups in the Kac-Moody setting, in terms of generalizations of Satake diagrams.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-07-31T15:09:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B22", "17B40", "17B67", "16B30", "17B37", "20F55" ], "keywords": [ "kac-moody algebras", "pseudo-symmetric pairs", "q-deformed algebras play", "major role", "reflection equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 42, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
