The Borcherds invariant-subalgebra conjecture for orbifolded M-theory in D=1

Let e10{\mathfrak{e}}_{10} be the hyperbolic Kac–Moody algebra, and let U2\mathbbmZn\mathcal{U}_{2}^{{\mathbbm{Z}}_{n}} be the automorphism defining the orbifold action. Let ginv{\mathfrak{g}}_{\mathrm{inv}} denote the real invariant subalgebra. A Borcherds invariant-subalgebra conjecture asserts that the invariant subalgebra of e10{\mathfrak{e}}_{10} under U2\mathbbmZn\mathcal{U}_{2}^{{\mathbbm{Z}}_{n}} is the direct sum of a u(1)\mathfrak{u}(1) factor and a Borcherds algebra with degenerate Cartan matrix, characterized by one isotropic imaginary simple root βI\beta_I of multiplicity one and nine real simple roots, modulo its centre and derivation. This gives a closed-form Borcherds description of the D=1D=1 invariant algebra, despite the possibility that invariant subalgebras under finite-order automorphisms need not be Kac–Moody algebras. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
