We use Kazhdan-Lusztig tensoring to, first, describe annihilating ideals of highest weight modules over an affine Lie algebra in terms of the corresponding VOA and, second, to classify tilting functors, an affine analogue of projective functors known in the case of a simple Lie algebra.

For an untwisted affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra g̃, and a given positive integer level k, vertex operators x(z) = ∑ x(n)z−n−1, x ∈ g, generate a vertex operator algebra V . For the maximal root θ and a root vector xθ of the corresponding finite-dimensional g, the field xθ(z) k+1 generates all annihilating fields of level k standard g̃-modules. In this paper we study the kernel of the normal order p...

Spectral properties of special matrices matrices have been widely applied. We focus on monomial matrices over a finite field Fp, p 6= 2. We describe a way to find the minimal annihilating polynomial, a set of linearly independent eigenvectors.

Pairs (A,B) of mutually annihilating operators AB = BA = 0 on a finite dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field were classified by Gelfand and Ponomarev [Russian Math. Surveys 23 (1968) 1–58] by method of linear relations. The classification of (A,B) over any field was derived by Nazarova, Roiter, Sergeichuk, and Bondarenko [J. Soviet Math. 3 (1975) 636–654] from the classifi...

In this paper we study the following system of reaction-diffusion equations: ∂ /∂t = ∆ − V + λδ0, (0, x) ≡ 0, ∂V/∂t = − V, V (0, x) ≡ 1. Here (t, x) and V (t, x) are functions of time t ∈ [0,∞) and space x ∈ R. This system describes a continuum version of a model in which particles are injected at the origin at rate λ, perform independent simple symmetric random walks on Z, and are annihilated ...
