This is an exposition in order to give an explicit way to understand (1) a non-topological proof for an existence of a base of an affine root system, (2) a Serre-type definition of an elliptic Lie algebra with rank =>2, and (3) the isotropic root multiplicities of those elliptic Lie algebras.
Using the well-known recognition and structural theorem(s) for root-graded Lie algebras and their universal coverings, we give a finite presentation for the universal covering algebra of a centerless Lie torus of type $X\not=A,C,BC$. We follow a unified approach for the types under consideration.
Extended affine Weyl groups are the Weyl groups of extended affine root systems. Finite presentations for extended affine Weyl groups are known only for nullities $\leq 2$, where for nullity 2 there is only one known such presentation. We give a finite presentation for the class of simply laced extended affine Weyl groups. Our presentation is nullity free if rank $>1$ and for rank 1 it is given for nullities $\leq 3$. The generators and relations are given uniformly for all types, and for a given nullity they can be read from the corresponding finite Cartan matrix and the semilattice involved in the structure of the root system.
There is a well-known presentation for finite and affine Weyl groups called the {\it presentation by conjugation}. Recently, it has been proved that this presentation holds for certain sub-classes of extended affine Weyl groups, the Weyl groups of extended affine root systems. In particular, it is shown that if nullity is $\leq 2$, an $A_1$-type extended affine Weyl group has the presentation by conjugation. We set up a general framework for the study of simply laced extended affine Weyl groups. As a result, we obtain certain necessary and sufficient conditions for an $A_1$-type extended affine Weyl group of arbitrary nullity to have the presentation by conjugation. This gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture that there are extended affine Weyl groups which are not presented by "presentation by conjugation".
We prove a theorem about the derivation algebra of the tensor product of two algebras. As an application, we determine the derivation algebra of the fixed point algebra of the tensor product of two algebras, with respect to the tensor product of two finite order automorphisms of the involved algebras. These results generalize some well-know theorems in the literature.
We investigate a class of Lie algebras which we call {\it generalized reductive Lie algebras}. These are generalizations of semi-simple, reductive, and affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. A generalized reductive Lie algebra which has an irreducible root system is said to be {\it irreducible} and we note that this class of algebras have been under intensive investigation in recent years. They have also been called {\it extended affine Lie algebras}. The larger class of generalized reductive Lie algebras has not been so intensively investigated. We study them in this paper and note that one way they arise is as fixed point subalgebras of finite order automorphisms. We show that the core modulo the center of a generalized reductive Lie algebra is a direct sum of centerless Lie tori. Therefore one can use the results known about the classification of centerless Lie tori to classify the cores modulo centers of generalized reductive Lie algebras.
It is shown that the fixed point subalgebra of an EALA under a finite order automorphism (satisfying certain properties) is a sum of EALA's, an abelian subalgebra, and a subspace which is contained in the centralizer of the core.
