Affine Kac-moody Algebras, Integrable Systems and Their Deformations
نویسنده
چکیده
Representation theory of affine Kac-Moody algebras at the critical level contains many intricate structures, in particular, the hamiltonian structures of the KdV and modified KdV hierarchies and the Miura transformation between them. In this talk I will describe these structures and their deformations which will lead us to the deformed Virasoro and W–algebras and the integrable hierarchies associated to them. I will also discuss briefly the relation of these matters to the geometric Langlands correspondence. It is a great honor for me to give this talk as the first recipient of the Hermann Weyl Prize. Weyl was a pioneer of applications of symmetry in quantum physics, a scientist who truly appreciated the beauty of mathematics. He once said: My work has always tried to unite the true with the beautiful and when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful.

Geometric construction of elliptic integrable systems and N = 1∗ superpotentials
We show how the elliptic Calogero-Moser integrable systems arise from a symplectic quotient construction, generalising the construction for AN−1 by Gorsky and Nekrasov to other algebras. This clarifies the role of (twisted) affine Kac-Moody algebras in elliptic Calogero-Moser systems and allows for a natural geometric construction of Lax operators for these systems. We elaborate on the connecti...

متن کاملThe Spherical Hecke Algebra for Affine Kac-moody Groups I
We define the spherical Hecke algebra for an (untwisted) affine Kac-Moody group over a local non-archimedian field. We prove a generalization of the Satake isomorphism for these algebras, relating it to integrable representations of the Langlands dual affine Kac-Moody group. In the next publication we shall use these results to define and study the notion of Hecke eigenfunction for the group Ga...
متن کاملRegular Subalgebras of Affine Kac–moody Algebras
We classify regular subalgebras of affine Kac–Moody algebras in terms of their root systems. In the process, we establish that a root system of a subalgebra is always an intersection of the root system of the algebra with a sublattice of its root lattice. We also discuss applications to investigations of regular subalgebras of hyperbolic Kac–Moody algebras and conformally invariant subalgebras ...
متن کاملLie Symmetries, Kac-Moody-Virasoro Algebras and Integrability of Certain (2+1)-Dimensional Nonlinear Evolution Equations
In this paper we study Lie symmetries, Kac-Moody-Virasoro algebras, similarity reductions and particular solutions of two different recently introduced (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations, namely (i) (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation and (ii) (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger type equation introduced by Zakharov and studied later by Strachan. Interestingly our studie...
