Semilinear automorphisms of classical groups and quivers

Abstract

For a classical group G over a field F together with a finite-order automorphism θ that acts compatibly on F, we describe the fixed point subgroup of θ on G and the eigenspaces of θ on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ in terms of cyclic quivers with involution. More precise classification is given when $\mathfrak{g}$ is a loop Lie algebra, i.e., when F = ℂ((t)).
