Gauge Theories of Kac-Moody Extensions of W∞ Algebras as Effective Field Theories of Colored W∞ Strings

چکیده
Abstract A novel invariant gauge field theory realization of Kac-Moody extensions of w∞(w1+∞) algebras and based on a Lie group G is constructed. The most relevant physical feature of this theory is that it describes an effective field theory of ”colored” internal w∞(w1+∞) strings when G = SU(3). We conclude with a discussion of how these theories might provide infinite higher conformal-spins extensions of Grand Unified Models and the Standard Model in four dimensions.

Almost split real forms for hyperbolic Kac-Moody Lie algebras
A Borel-Tits theory was developped for almost split forms of symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebras [J. of Algebra 171, 43-96 (1995)]. In this paper, we look to almost split real forms for symmetrizable hyperbolic KacMoody Lie algebras and we establish a complete list of these forms, in terms of their Satake-Tits index, for the strictly hyperbolic ones and for those which are obtained as (hyperbo...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
متن کاملThe Beacon of Kac-moody Symmetry for Physics
Although the importance of developing a mathematics which transcends practical use was already understood by the Greeks over 2000 years ago, it is heartening even today when mathematical ideas created for their abstract interest are found to be useful in formulating descriptions of nature. Historically, the idea of symmetry has its scientific origin in the Greeks' discovery of the five regular ...
متن کاملBosonization of Bosons in Vertex Operator Representations of Affine Kae-Moody Algebras
In compactified closed string theories, our naive geometrical interpretation of space-time fails. For instance, the spectrum of closed strings in a box of size R is identical to that of closed strings in a box of size l/R.l} This symmetry comes from the duality between momentum modes and winding modes. This implies that there are two notions of position: One is defined to be canonically conjuga...
متن کاملSome Aspects of Free Field Resolutions in 2d Cft with Application to the Quantum Drinfeld-sokolov Reduction
We review some aspects of the free field approach to two-dimensional conformal field theories. Specifically, we discuss the construction of free field resolutions for the integrable highest weight modules of untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebras, and extend the construction to a certain class of admissible highest weight modules. Using these, we construct resolutions of the completely degenerate ...
