Tau-functions as highest weight vectors for W1+∞ algebra
نویسنده
چکیده
For each r = (r1, r2, . . . , rN ) ∈ C N we construct a highest weight module Mr of the Lie algebra W1+∞. The highest weight vectors are specific tau-functions of the N -th Gelfand–Dickey hierarchy. We show that these modules are quasifinite and we give a complete description of the reducible ones together with a formula for the singular vectors. hep-th/9510211

Highest weight modules over W1+∞ algebra and the bispectral problem
This paper is the last of a series of papers devoted to the bispectral problem [3]–[6]. Here we examine the connection between the bispectral operators constructed in [6] and the Lie algebra W1+∞ (and its subalgebras). To give a more detailed idea of the contents of the present paper we briefly recall the results of [4]–[6] which we need. In [4] we built large families of representations of W1+...

In our paper [KR] we began a systematic study of representations of the universal central extension D̂ of the Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle. This study was continued in the paper [FKRW] in the framework of vertex algebra theory. It was shown that the associated to D̂ simple vertex algebra W1+∞,N with positive integral central charge N is isomorphic to the classical vertex al...
متن کاملSingular Vectors of the Virasoro Algebra
We give expressions for the singular vectors in the highest weight representations of the Virasoro algebra. We verify that the expressions — which take the form of a product of operators applied to the highest weight vector — do indeed define singular vectors. These results explain the patterns of embeddings amongst Virasoro algebra highest weight representations. Conformal field theory relies ...
متن کاملModules of the toroidal Lie algebra $widehat{widehat{mathfrak{sl}}}_{2}$
Highest weight modules of the double affine Lie algebra $widehat{widehat{mathfrak{sl}}}_{2}$ are studied under a new triangular decomposition. Singular vectors of Verma modules are determined using a similar condition with horizontal affine Lie subalgebras, and highest weight modules are described under the condition $c_1>0$ and $c_2=0$.
متن کاملW-symmetry, topological vertex and affine Yangian
We discuss the representation theory of the non-linear chiral algebra W1+∞ of Gaberdiel and Gopakumar and its connection to the Yangian of û(1) whose presentation was given by Tsymbaliuk. The characters of completely degenerate representations of W1+∞ are given by the topological vertex. The Yangian picture provides an infinite number of commuting charges which can be explicitly diagonalized in...
