Abstract

The geometry of symmetric spaces, polar actions, isoparametric submanifolds and spherical buildings is governed by spherical Weyl groups and simple Lie groups. The most natural generalization of semisimple Lie groups are affine Kac-Moody groups as they mirror their structure theory and have good explicitly known representations as groups of operators. In this article we describe the infinite dimensional differential geometry associated to affine Kac-Moody groups: Kac-Moody symmetric spaces, isoparametric submanifolds in Hilbert space, polar actions on Hilbert spaces and universal geometric twin buildings.
