Investigating root multiplicities in the indefinite Kac–Moody algebra $E_{10}$

Vicky Klima, Timothy Shatley, Kyle Thomas and Andrew Wilson

Vol. 7 (2014), No. 4, 529–546
Abstract

Following a procedure outlined by Kang, we view the generalized eigenspaces, known as root spaces, of the infinite dimensional Kac–Moody algebra E10 as generalized eigenspaces for representations of the finite dimensional special linear algebra A9. Then, using the combinatorial representation theory of the special linear Lie algebras, we determine the dimensions of certain root spaces in E10.
