To any (not necessarily symmetrizable) generalized / x / Cartan matrix A , one associates a Kac-Moody algebra g = g(A) over C and group G = G(A). G has a "standard unitary form" K. If A is a classical Cartan matrix, then G is a finite dimensional semi-simple simply-connected algebraic group over C and K is a maximal compact subgroup of G. We refer to this as the finite case. In general, one has subalgebras of g: f) c b C p, the Cartan subalgebra, the Borel subalgebra, and a parabolic subalgebra, respectively. One also has the corresponding subgroups: H c B C P, the complex maximal torus, the Borel subgroup, and a parabolic subgroup, respectively. We denote by T the compact maximal torus H Π K of K. Let W be the Weyl group associated to (g, ί)) and let {^}1 < κ / denote the set of simple reflections. The group W operates on the compact maximal torus T (as well as on H) and hence on the group algebra R{T) := Z[X(T)] of the character group X(T) of T and also on the quotient field Q{T) of R(T). For any W-field F , we can form the smash product Fw of the group algebra Z[W] with F. In [19] we took, for F, the field Q = ζ?(ϊ)*) of all the rational functions on f) and defined an appropriate subring R c Qw , and showed that R and its "appropriate" dual Λ, along with a certain Λ-module structure on Λ, replace the study of the cohomology algebra of G/B together with the various operators defined on H*(G/B). Hence the problem of understanding H*(G/B), especially the cup product structure and other operators on H*(G/B), reduced to a purely combinatorial (and hopefully more tractable) problem of understanding the ring R and its "dual" Λ, defined purely and explicitly in terms of the Coxeΐer group W and its representation on ()*.
