Infinite dimensional Chevalley groups and Kac-Moody groups over
Let be a symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix, which is not of finite
or affine type. Let be the corresponding Kac-Moody algebra over
a commutative ring with . We construct an infinite-dimensional group
analogous to a finite-dimensional Chevalley group over . We use a
-form of the universal enveloping algebra of and a
-form of an integrable highest-weight module . We construct
groups analogous to arithmetic subgroups in the
finite-dimensional case. We also consider a universal representation-theoretic
Kac-Moody group and its completion . For the completion we
prove a Bruhat decomposition
over , and that the arithmetic subgroup
coincides with the subgroup of integral points
