Kac-Moody Symmetric Spaces: An Addendum
No full textKac-Moody symmetric spaces have been introduced by Freyn, Hartnick, Horn and
the first-named author for centered Kac-Moody groups, that is, Kac-Moody groups
that are generated by their root subgroups. In the case of non-invertible
generalized Cartan matrices this leads to complications that -- within the
approach proposed originally -- cannot be repaired in the affine case. In the
present article we propose an alternative approach to Kac-Moody symmetric
spaces which for invertible generalized Cartan matrices provides exactly the
same concept, which for the non-affine non-invertible case provides alternative
Kac-Moody symmetric spaces, and which finally provides Kac-Moody symmetric
spaces for affine Kac-Moody groups. In a nutshell, the original intention by
Freyn, Hartnick, Horn and K\"ohl was to construct symmetric spaces that likely
lead to primitive actions of the Kac-Moody groups; this, of course, cannot work
in the affine case as affine Kac-Moody groups are far from simple
Moody Closet
No full textThis paper introduces Moody Closet, a mobile application for the management of a personal wardrobe with a personalized outfit recommender. To provide incentive for the users to add content and express their preferences, the system provides an easy and enjoyable interaction, which delivers new perspectives on their closets. In particular, we focus on the mood of the wearer, which is considered to be an intriguing trigger capable of prompting the contribution of information needed to fuel a recommendation system. An exploratory study with a small set of users provides an initial demonstration that the concept has the potential to fascinate users and motivate them to contribute content.Computer ScienceElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Kac–Moody symmetric spaces
No full textIn the present article we introduce and study a class of topological reflectionspaces that we call Kac–Moody symmetric spaces. These are associated with split realKac–Moody groups and generalize Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact split type.Based on work by the third-named author, we observe that in a non-spherical Kac–Moody symmetric space there exist pairs of points that do notlie on a common geodesic;however, any two points can be connected by a chain of geodesic segments. We moreoverclassify maximal flats in Kac–Moody symmetric spaces and study their intersection patterns,leading to a classification of global and local automorphisms. Some of our methods apply togeneral topological reflection spaces beyond the Kac–Moodysetting.Unlike Riemannian symmetric spaces, non-spherical non-affine irreducible Kac–Moodysymmetric spaces also admit an invariant causal structure.For causal and anti-causal geo-desic rays with respect to this structure we find a notion of asymptoticity, which allows usto define a future and past boundary of such Kac–Moody symmetric space. We show thatthese boundaries carry a natural polyhedral cell structureand are cellularly isomorphic togeometric realizations of the two halves of the twin buildings of the underlying split real Kac–Moody group. We also show that every automorphism of the symmetric space is uniquelydetermined by the induced cellular automorphism of the future and past boundary.The invariant causal structure on a non-spherical non-affineirreducible Kac–Moody sym-metric space gives rise to an invariant pre-order on the underlying space, and thus toa subsemigroup of the Kac–Moody group.We conclude that while in some aspects Kac–Moody symmetric spaces closely resembleRiemannian symmetric spaces, in other aspects they behave similarly tomasures, their non-Archimedean cousin

Anne Moody History Project Recognized by the Mississippi Department of Corrections: Warden and Staff Praised for Work Honoring Anne Moody, author of Coming of Age in Mississippi
No full textCopyright (c) 2019 by Roscoe Barnes III#AnneMoodyThis is a news report about the retirement of Warden Jody Bradley and the praise he and his staff received for their work at Wilkinson County Correctional Facility (WCCF), Woodville, Miss. Commissioner Pelicia E. Hall of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) honored Bradley with a letter of congratulations. In that same letter, she commended him and his team for their work with the Anne Moody History Project (AMHP). AMHP is a staff-led community service endeavor created to promote and help preserve the legacy of civil rights pioneer Anne Moody, author of Coming of Age in Mississippi.To learn more about Anne Moody, see her research page here: http://roscoereporting.blogspot.com/p/anne-moody.html#ComingOfAgeinMississippi</div

On affine Kazhdan-Lusztig R-polynomials for Kac-Moody groups
No full textIn 2019, D. Muthiah proposed a strategy to define affine Kazhdan-Lusztig R-polynomials for Kac-Moody groups. Since then, Bardy-Panse, the first author and Rousseau have introduced the formalism of twin masures and the authors have extended combinatorial results from affine root systems to general Kac-Moody root systems in a previous article. In this paper, we use these results to explicitly define affine R-Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for Kac-Moody groups. The construction is based on a path model lifting to twin masures. Conjecturally, these polynomials count the cardinality of intersections of opposite affine Schubert cells, as in the case of reductive groups
