Extensions 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...
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...
متن کاملExtended diffeomorphism algebras and trajectories in jet space
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). Anal...
متن کاملCharacterization of Simple Highest Weight Modules
We prove that for simple complex finite dimensional Lie algebras, affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras, the Virasoro algebra and the Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra, simple highest weight modules are characterized by the property that all positive root elements act on these modules locally nilpotently. We also show that this is not the case for higher rank Virasoro and for Heisenberg algebras.
متن کاملChiral Liouville Gravity
Classical two-dimensional Liouville gravity is often considered in conformal gauge which has a residual left and right Virasoro symmetry algebra. We consider an alternate, chiral, gauge which has a residual right Virasoro Kac-Moody algebra, and no left Virasoro algebra. The Kac-Moody zero mode is the left-moving energy. Dirac brackets of the constrained Hamiltonian theory are derived, and the r...
