Abstract
A subgroup of a Kac–Moody group is called bounded if it is contained in the intersection of two finite type parabolic subgroups of opposite signs. In this paper, we study the isomorphisms between Kac–Moody groups over arbitrary fields of cardinality at least 4, which preserve the set of bounded subgroups. We show that such an isomorphism between two such Kac–Moody groups induces an isomorphism between the respective twin root data of these groups. As a consequence, we obtain the solution of the isomorphism problem for Kac–Moody groups over finite fields of cardinality at least 4.
