Lie Algebras and Related Topics
Author: Daniel J. Britten
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 9780821860090
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
As the Proceedings of the 1984 Canadian Mathematical Society's Summer Seminar, this book focuses on some advances in the theory of semisimple Lie algebras and some direct outgrowths of that theory. The following papers are of particular interest: an important survey article by R. Block and R. Wilson on restricted simple Lie algebras, a survey of universal enveloping algebras of semisimple Lie algebras by W. Borho, a course on Kac-Moody Lie algebras by I. G. Macdonald with an extensive bibliography of this field by Georgia Benkart, and a course on formal groups by M. Hazewinkel. Because of the expository surveys and courses, the book will be especially useful to graduate students in Lie theory, as well as to researchers in the field.

On the Structure of Principal Subspaces of Standard Modules for Affine Lie Algebras of Type A
Author: Christopher Michael Sadowski
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Lie algebras
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
Using the theory of vertex operator algebras and intertwining operators, we obtain presentations for the principal subspaces of all the standard $widehat{goth{sl}(3)}$-modules. Certain of these presentations had been conjectured and used in work of Calinescu to construct exact sequences leading to the graded dimensions of certain principal subspaces. We prove the conjecture in its full generality for all standard $widehat{goth{sl}(3)}$-modules. We then provide a conjecture for the case of $widehat{goth{sl}(n)}$, $n ge 4$. In addition, we construct completions of certain universal enveloping algebras and provide a natural setting for families of defining relations for the principal subspaces of standard modules for untwisted affine Lie algebras. We also use the theory of vertex operator algebras and intertwining operators, along with conjecturally assumed presentations for certain principal subspaces, to construct exact sequences among principal subspaces of certain standard $widehat{mathfrak{sl}(n)}$-modules, $n ge 3$. As a consequence, we obtain the multigraded dimensions of the principal subspaces $W(k_1Lambda_1 + k_2 Lambda_2)$ and $W(k_{n-2}Lambda_{n-2} + k_{n-1} Lambda_{n-1})$. This generalizes earlier work by Calinescu on principal subspaces of standard $widehat{mathfrak{sl}(3)}$-modules, where similar assumptions were made.

Vertex Operators in Mathematics and Physics
Author: J. Lepowsky
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 146139550X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
James Lepowsky t The search for symmetry in nature has for a long time provided representation theory with perhaps its chief motivation. According to the standard approach of Lie theory, one looks for infinitesimal symmetry -- Lie algebras of operators or concrete realizations of abstract Lie algebras. A central theme in this volume is the construction of affine Lie algebras using formal differential operators called vertex operators, which originally appeared in the dual-string theory. Since the precise description of vertex operators, in both mathematical and physical settings, requires a fair amount of notation, we do not attempt it in this introduction. Instead we refer the reader to the papers of Mandelstam, Goddard-Olive, Lepowsky-Wilson and Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman. We have tried to maintain consistency of terminology and to some extent notation in the articles herein. To help the reader we shall review some of the terminology. We also thought it might be useful to supplement an earlier fairly detailed exposition of ours [37] with a brief historical account of vertex operators in mathematics and their connection with affine algebras. Since we were involved in the development of the subject, the reader should be advised that what follows reflects our own understanding. For another view, see [29].1 t Partially supported by the National Science Foundation through the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute and NSF Grant MCS 83-01664. 1 We would like to thank Igor Frenkel for his valuable comments on the first draft of this introduction.

Affine, Vertex and W-algebras
Author: Dražen Adamović
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030329062
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
This book focuses on recent developments in the theory of vertex algebras, with particular emphasis on affine vertex algebras, affine W-algebras, and W-algebras appearing in physical theories such as logarithmic conformal field theory. It is widely accepted in the mathematical community that the best way to study the representation theory of affine Kac–Moody algebras is by investigating the representation theory of the associated affine vertex and W-algebras. In this volume, this general idea can be seen at work from several points of view. Most relevant state of the art topics are covered, including fusion, relationships with finite dimensional Lie theory, permutation orbifolds, higher Zhu algebras, connections with combinatorics, and mathematical physics. The volume is based on the INdAM Workshop Affine, Vertex and W-algebras, held in Rome from 11 to 15 December 2017. It will be of interest to all researchers in the field.
