Feigin–Frenkel center in types B, C and D

چکیده
For each simple Lie algebra g consider the corresponding affine vertex algebra Vcrit(g) at the critical level. The center of this vertex algebra is a commutative associative algebra whose structure was described by a remarkable theorem of Feigin and Frenkel about two decades ago. However, only recently simple formulas for the generators of the center were found for the Lie algebras of type A following Talalaev’s discovery of explicit higher Gaudin Hamiltonians. We give explicit formulas for generators of the centers of the affine vertex algebras Vcrit(g) associated with the simple Lie algebras g of types B, C and D. The construction relies on the Schur–Weyl duality involving the Brauer algebra, and the generators are expressed as weighted traces over tensor spaces and, equivalently, as traces over the spaces of singular vectors for the action of the Lie algebra sl2 in the context of Howe duality. This leads to an explicit construction of a commutative subalgebra of the universal enveloping algebra U(g[t]) and to higher order Hamiltonians in the Gaudin model associated with each Lie algebra g. We also introduce analogues of the Bethe subalgebras of the Yangians Y(g) and show that their graded images coincide with the respective commutative subalgebras of U(g[t]).

A Geometric Proof of the Feigin-frenkel Theorem
We reprove the theorem of Feigin and Frenkel relating the center of the critical level enveloping algebra of the Kac-Moody algebra for a semisimple Lie algebra to opers (which are certain de Rham local systems with extra structure) for the Langlands dual group. Our proof incorporates a construction of Beilinson and Drinfeld relating the Feigin-Frenkel isomorphism to (more classical) Langlands d...
متن کاملVanishing of Cohomology Associated to Quantized Drinfeld-sokolov Reduction
We prove a vanishing theorem of the cohomology arising from the two quantized Drinfeld-Sokolov reductions (“+” and “−” reduction) introduced by Feigin-Frenkel and Frenkel-Kac-Wakimoto. As a consequence, the vanishing conjecture of Frenkel-Kac-Wakimoto is proved for the “−” reduction and partially for the “+” reduction.
متن کاملStress-Tensor for parafermions by the generalized Frenkel-Kac construction of affine algebras
I discuss a realization of stress-tensor for parafermion theories following the generalized Frenkel-Kac construction for higher level Kac-Moody algebras. All the fields are obtained from d=rank free bosons compactified on torus. This gives an alternative realization of Virasoro algebra in terms of a non-local correction of a free field construction which does not fit the usual background charge...
