Presentation of Borel subgroups of Kac-Moody groups over local rings
Abstract
We obtain presentations of Borel subgroups of certain Chevalley groups and Kac-Moody groups of simply laced type. More precisely, we show that Borel subgroups of simply laced Chevalley groups over a commutative, unital ring (satisfying a minor technical condition), are the amalgamated product of their rank 2 subgroups, generalising a result of Tits over fields (different from 𝔽2). We moreover show that Borel subgroups of Kac-Moody groups over local Bézout domains also have a presentation as an amalgamated product of their rank 2 subgroups as soon as this holds for their rank 3 subgroups. In particular we deduce that Borel subgroups of simply laced Kac-Moody groups over a local Bézout domain (with residue field different from 𝔽2) have such a presentation if and only if they are of 3-spherical type.
