A Combinatorial Approach to Root Multiplicities of a Special Type Rank 3 Kac-Moody Algebras (2102.10367v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we calculate the dimension of root spaces $\mathfrak{g}{\lambda}$ of a special type rank $3$ Kac-Moody algebras $\mathfrak{g}$. We first introduce a special type of elements in $\mathfrak{g}$, which we call elements in standard form. Then, we prove that any root space is spanned by these elements. By calculating the number of linearly independent elements in standard form, we obtain a formula for the dimension of root spaces $\mathfrak{g}{\lambda}$, which depends on the root $\lambda$.
