Three-point Lie algebras and Grothendieck’s dessins d’enfants. (English) Zbl 1406.17027

Summary: We define and classify the analogues of the affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras for the ring of functions on the complex projective line minus three points. The classification is given in terms of Grothendieck’s dessins d’enfants. We also study the question of conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras for these algebras.
