Affine root system

In mathematics, an affine root system is a root system of affine-linear functions on a Euclidean space. They are used in the classification of affine Lie algebras and superalgebras, and semisimple p-adic algebraic groups, and correspond to families of Macdonald polynomials. The reduced affine root systems were used by Kac and Moody in their work on Kac–Moody algebras. Possibly non-reduced affine root systems were introduced and classified by and (except that both these papers accidentally omitted the Dynkin diagram File:Dyn-node.pngFile:Dyn-4b.pngFile:Dyn-nodeg.pngFile:Dyn-4a.pngFile:Dyn-node.png).
