Root systems extended by an abelian group and their Lie algebras

We introduce the notion of a root system extended by an abelian group G. This concept generalizes extended affine root systems. We classify them in terms of (translated) reflection spaces of G. Then we see that division (\Delta, G)-graded Lie algebras have such root systems. Finally, division (Br, G)-graded Lie algebras and as a special case, Lie G-tori of type Br, are classified for r>2.
