Extended diffeomorphism algebras and trajectories in jet space
نویسنده
چکیده
Let the DRO (Diffeomorphism, Reparametrization, Observer) algebraDRO(N) be the extension of diff(N)⊕diff(1) by its four inequivalent Virasoro-like cocycles. Here diff(N) is the diffeomorphism algebra in N -dimensional spacetime and diff(1) describes reparametrizations of trajectories in the space of tensor-valued p-jets. DRO(N) has a Fock module for each p and each representation of gl(N). Analogous representations for gauge algebras (higher-dimensional Kac-Moody algebras) are also given. The reparametrization symmetry can be eliminated by a gauge fixing procedure, resulting in previously discovered modules. In this process, two DRO(N) cocycles transmute into anisotropic cocycles for diff(N). Thus the Fock modules of toroidal Lie algebras and their derivation algebras are geometrically explained.

Fock representations of non-centrally extended super-diffeomorphism algebras
A class of Fock representations of non-central extensions of the super-diffeomorphism algebra in (N+1|M) dimensions is constructed, by superization of the paper [physics/9705040]. The representations act on trajectories in (N |M)-dimensional superspace, the extra dimension being the parameter along the trajectory. The restrictions to various subalgebras are considered. In particular, the centra...

Let K and X be compact plane sets such that K X. Let P(K)be the uniform closure of polynomials on K. Let R(K) be the closure of rationalfunctions K with poles o K.

Let CZ(X;K) be the Banach algebra of functions f in C(X) suchthat fjK = 0. In this paper, we show th...
متن کاملLowest-energy representations of non-centrally extended diffeomorphism algebras
We describe a class of non-central extensions of the diffeomorphism algebra in N -dimensional spacetime, and construct lowest-energy modules thereof, thus generalizing work of Eswara-Rao and Moody. There is one representation for each representation of V ir⋉̃k0 ĝl(N) (an extension of the semi-direct product). Similar modules are constructed for gauge algebras.
متن کاملExtensions of diffeomorphism and current algebras
Dzhumadil’daev has classified all tensor module extensions of diff(N), the diffeomorphism algebra in N dimensions, and its subalgebras of divergence free, Hamiltonian, and contact vector fields. I review his results using explicit tensor notation. All of his generic cocycles are limits of trivial cocycles, and many arise from the Mickelsson-Faddeev algebra for gl(N). Then his results are extend...
