Abstract

Let $X$ be the affine flag manifold of Lie type $A_{1}^{1}$ . Its moment graph encodes the torus fixed points (which are elements of the infinite dihedral group $D_{\infty}$ ) and the torus stable curves in $X$ . Given a fixed point $u \in D_{\infty}$ and a degree $d = (d_{0}, d_{1}) \in ℤ_{\geq 0}^{2}$ , the combinatorial curve neighborhood is the set of maximal elements in the moment graph of $X$ which can be reached from $u$ using a chain of curves of total degree $\leq d$ . In this paper we give a formula for these elements, using combinatorics of the affine root system of type $A_{1}^{1}$ .
