To any (not necessarily symmetrizable) generalized 1 x 1 Cartan matrix A, one associates a Kac-Moody algebra g = g(A) over C and group G = G(A). If A is a classical Cartan matrix, then G is a finite dimensional semi-simple algebraic group over C. We refer to this as the finite case. In general, one has subalgebras of g; h c b c p, the Cartan subalgebra, Bore1 subalgebra, and a parabolic subalgebra, respectively. One also has the corresponding subgroups H c B c P. Let W be the Weyl group associated to (g, h) and let it-I> Iszl~l denote the set of simple reflections. The group W operates on h (and hence on its dual space h*). W parametrizes the Schubert cell decomposition of the generalized flag variety G/B = U ,(‘E ,,, V,.( = Bw ~ ‘B/B). (A suitable subset W’ c W does the same for G/P.) Our principal concern is the cohomology ring H(G/B) (more generally H(G/P)) and in fact the cohomology ring of arbitrary (left) B-stable closed subspaces of GJP. Now besides having a ring structure and having a distinguished basis consisting of Schubert classes (given by the dual of the closures of Schubert cells, H(G/B) is also a module for W. In addition, in the finite case, a ring
