Computing canonical labellings of finite solvable groups

Santiago Barrera Acevedo, Heiko Dietrich, Max Horn

We define a canonical labelling function on the class of finite solvable groups so that two such groups and are isomorphic if and only if cancan. Specifically, c…

Constructive Recognition of Special Linear Groups

Max Horn, Alice Niemeyer, Cheryl Praeger +1

We introduce a new constructive recognition algorithm for finite special linear groups in their natural representation. Given a group generated by a set of matrices…

Group theory in OSCAR

Claus Fieker, Max Horn

OSCAR is an innovative new computer algebra system which combines and extends the power of its four cornerstone systems - GAP (group theory), Singular (algebra and algebraic geomet…

Decompositions of Kac-Moody groups

Max Horn

Let be a split (minimal) Kac-Moody group over or with maximal torus , and let be a Cartan-Chevalley involution of , twisted by complex conju…

Kac-Moody symmetric spaces

Walter Freyn, Tobias Hartnick, Max Horn +1

In the present article we introduce and study a class of topological reflection spaces that we call Kac-Moody symmetric spaces. These generalize Riemannian symmetric spaces of non-…

Moufang Twin Trees of prime order

Matthias Grüninger, Max Horn, Bernhard Mühlherr

We prove that the unipotent horocyclic group of a Moufang twin tree of prime order is nilpotent of class at most 2.

Spin covers of maximal compact subgroups of Kac-Moody groups and spin-extended Weyl groups

David Ghatei, Max Horn, Ralf Köhl +1

Let G be a split real Kac-Moody group of arbitrary type and let K be its maximal compact subgroup, i.e. the subgroup of elements fixed by a Cartan-Chevalley involution of G. We con…

Generalized spin representations. Part 2: Cartan-Bott periodicity for the split real En series

Max Horn, Ralf Köhl

In this article we analyze the quotients of the maximal compact subalgebras of the split real Kac-Moody algebras of the En series resulting from the generalized spin representation…

Second cohomology of Lie rings and the Schur multiplier

Max Horn, Seiran Zandi

We exhibit an explicit construction for the second cohomology group for a Lie ring and a trivial -module . We show how the elements of correspond…

The construction of finite solvable groups revisited

Bettina Eick, Max Horn

We describe a new approach towards the systematic construction of finite groups up to isomorphism. This approach yields a practical algorithm for the construction of finite solvabl…

Lie algebras and 3-transpositions

H. Cuypers, M. Horn, J. in 't panhuis +1

We describe a construction of an algebra over the field of order 2 starting from a conjugacy class of 3-transpositions in a group. In particular, we determine which simple Lie alge…

Abstract involutions of algebraic groups and of Kac-Moody groups

Ralf Köhl, Max Horn, Bernhard Muhlherr

Based on the second author's thesis in this article we provide a uniform treatment of abstract involutions of algebraic groups and of Kac-Moody groups using twin buildings, RGD sys…

Iwasawa decompositions of split Kac-Moody groups

Tom De Medts, Ralf Köhl, Max Horn

We characterize all fields F for which a group with an F-locally split root group datum admits an Iwasawa decomposition. This class of groups in particular includes the split semis…

Intransitive geometries and fused amalgams

Ralf Köhl, Max Horn, Antonio Pasini +1

We study geometries that arise from the natural action on the geometry of one-dimensional subspaces, of nonsingular two-dimensional subspaces, and of nonsingular three-dim…
