Canonical Bases of Borcherds-Cartan Type
Abstract
Description
We study the canonical basis for the negative part of the quantum generalized Kac-Moody algebra associated to a symmetric Borcherds-Cartan matrix. The algebras associated to two different matrices satisfying certain conditions may coincide. We show that the canonical bases coincide provided that the algebras coincide. We also answer partially a question by Lusztig.
