Lecture 6: Kac-moody Algebras, Reductive Groups, and Representations
نویسنده
چکیده
We start by introducing Kac-Moody algebras and completing the classification of finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebras. We then discuss the classification of finite dimensional representations of semisimple Lie algebras (and, more generally, integrable highest weight representations of Kac-Moody algebras). We finish by discussing the structure and representation theory of reductive algebraic groups.

Polyhedral Realization of Crystal Bases for Generalized Kac-moody Algebras
In this paper, we give polyhedral realization of the crystal B(∞) of U− q (g) for the generalized Kac-Moody algebras. As applications, we give explicit descriptions of crystals for the generalized Kac-Moody algebras of rank 2, 3 and Monster Lie algebras. Introduction In his study of Conway and Norton’s Moonshine Conjecture [3] for the infinite dimensional Z-graded representation V ♮ of the Mons...
متن کاملAffine Kac-Moody Algebras and the Wess-Zumino-Witten Model
These lecture notes are a brief introduction to Wess-Zumino-Witten models, and their current algebras, the affine Kac-Moody algebras. After reviewing the general background, we focus on the application of representation theory to the computation of 3-point functions and fusion rules.
متن کامل6 Generalized Kac - Moody Lie Algebras and Product Quivers
We construct the entire generalized Kac-Moody Lie algebra as a quotient of the positive part of another generalized Kac-Moody Lie algebra. The positive part of a generalized Kac-Moody Lie algebra can be constructed from representations of quivers using Ringel's Hall algebra construction. Thus we give a direct realization of the entire generalized Kac-Moody Lie algebra. This idea arises from the...
متن کاملCase for support Unitary forms of Kac–Moody algebras and Kac–Moody groups
The proposed project is set in pure mathematics within the areas of infinite-dimensional Lie theory and geometric group theory. Its goal is to contribute to the structure theory of unitary forms (i.e., centralisers of Chevalley involutions) of Kac–Moody algebras and of Kac–Moody groups of indefinite type. The main emphasis of this project will be on finite-dimensional representations and on ide...
متن کاملReflection Groups in Hyperbolic Spaces and the Denominator Formula for Lorentzian Kac–moody Lie Algebras
This is a continuation of our ”Lecture on Kac–Moody Lie algebras of the arithmetic type” [25]. We consider hyperbolic (i.e. signature (n, 1)) integral symmetric bilinear form S : M × M → Z (i.e. hyperbolic lattice), reflection group W ⊂ W (S), fundamental polyhedron M of W and an acceptable (corresponding to twisting coefficients) set P (M) ⊂ M of vectors orthogonal to faces of M (simple roots)...
