W∞ Algebra and High-Order Virasoro Algebra

We give the relation between W_∞ algebra and high-order Virasoro algebra (HOVA), i.e., W_∞ algebra is the limit of HOVA. Then we give the super high-order Virasoro algebra from super W_∞ algebra.     

On Solutions to the q-Deformed Oscillator Systems and the q-Oscillator Algebra Hq (4)

Discussions upon the q-oscillator systems and the q-oscillator algebra H_q(4) are provided,and the case of |q| = 1 ia detailed. A remarkable connection between SH_q(2) and H_q(4) is indicated and investigated. The single q-oscillator system t solved and shown to be analogous to the parafermion (PF), with the specific case analogous to the third order PF discussed in detail. The properties of the representations and a finite chain model are exploited.     

Fusion and braiding in W-algebra extended conformal theories

We define the chiral conformal blocks of integer-spin extended (W-algebra) conformal theories by the fusion of elementary ones. The braid group representation matrices which realize the exchange algebra are computed. They are shown to coincide with the Boltzmann weights — in a certain limit of the spectral parameter — of the critical face models of Jimbo et al. In the unitary cases, where the extended conformal theories can be realized as cosets , we relate the braiding matrices of the former to those of the WZW models. In this article we restrict ourselves to the case corresponding to symmetric tensor representations of A_n.     

The Unitarity of the W(3) Algebra from SU(3) Parafermion

We express the vacuum expectation value of the SU(3)k parafermion fields by that of two bosons and SU(3)_k current algebra. When k = 1,2,3, the SU(3)_k current algebra becomes an inner product of a unitary representation, and T(z), W⁽³⁾(z) are equivalent to "quasiself-adjoint" operators in this represen tation.     

Parafermion Fields Constructed by Current Algebra

In this letter, the parafermion fields constructed by current algebra are considered. It is proved that there must be a parafermion field with respect to each form of current algebra. We also obtain the corresponding representation and unitary relation of the parafermion field from any current algebra.     

Polynomial associative algebras of quantum superintegrable systems

The integrals of motion of classical two-dimensional superintegrable systems, with polynomial integrals of motion, close in a restrained polynomial Poisson algebra; the general form of the quadratic case is investigated. The polynomial Poisson algebra of the classical system is deformed into a quantum associative algebra of the corresponding quantum system, and the finite-dimensional representations of this algebra are calculated by using a deformed parafermion oscillator technique. The finite-dimensional representations of the algebra are determined by the energy eigenvalues of the superintegrable system. The calculation of energy eigenvalues is reduced to the roots of algebraic equations in the quadratic case.     

Superalgebras,symplectic bosons and the Sugawara construction

New representations of affine Lie algebras are constructed using symplectic bosons of the sort that occur naturally in the BRST treatment of fermionic string theories. These representations are shown to have analogous properties to the current algebra representations in terms of free fermion fields, though they do not act in a positive space. In particular, the condition for the Sugawara construction of the Virasoro algebra to equal the free one is the existence of a superalgebra with a quadratic Casimir operator, paralleling the symmetric space theorem for fermionic field constructions. Both results are seen to be particular cases of a more general super-symmetric space theorem, which arises from considering an affinisation of the superalgebras. These algebras are realised in terms of free fermions and symplectic bosons and lead to a super-Sugawara construction of the Virasoro algebra. The conditions for this to equal a Virasoro algebra obtained from the free fields are provided by the super-symmetric space theorem.     

Sugawara's construction for Kac-Moody-Malcev algebras

We give a construction of the Virasoro algebra in terms of bilinear combinations of currents. The currents satisfy the Kac-Moody-Malcev commutation relations. The Kac-Moody-Malcev algebras are the generalization of Lie algebras of Kac-Moody type to the Malcev algebras. Thus, we give the generalization of the Sugawara construction to the case of Kac-Moody-Malcev algebras.     

Parafermion Fields Constructed by Current Algebra

In this letter, the parafermion fields constructed by current algebra are considered. It is proved that there must be a parafermion field with respect to each form of current algebra. We also obtain the corresponding representation and unitary relation of the parafermion field from any current algebra.     

The Virasoro vertex algebra and factorization algebras on Riemann surfaces

This paper focuses on the connection of holomorphic two-dimensional factorization algebras and vertex algebras which has been made precise in the forthcoming book of Costello–Gwilliam. We provide a construction of the Virasoro vertex algebra starting from a local Lie algebra on the complex plane. Moreover, we discuss an extension of this factorization algebra to a factorization algebra on the category of Riemann surfaces. The factorization homology of this factorization algebra is computed as the correlation functions. We provide an example of how the Virasoro factorization algebra implements conformal symmetry of the beta–gamma system using the method of effective BV quantization.     

Quantum Currents in the coset Space SU(2)/U(1)

We propose a rational quantum deformed nonlocal currentsin the homogeneous space SU(2)k/U(1),and in terms of it and a free boson field a representation for the Drinfeld currents of Yangian double at a general level k=c is obtained.In the classical limit h→0,the quantum nonlocal currents become SU(2)k parafermion,and the realization of Yangian double becomes the parafermion realization of SU(2)k current algebra.     

Interpretation and extension of Green''s ansatz for paraparticles

The anomalous bilinear commutation relations satisfied by the components of the Green's ansatz for paraparticles are shown to derive from the comultiplication of the paraboson or parafermion algebra. The same provides a generalization of the ansatz, wherein paraparticles of order are constructed from r paraparticles of order p, =1, 2, …, r.     

The Cohomology Algebra of the Semi-Infinite Weil Complex

In 1993, Lian-Zuckerman constructed two cohomology operations on the BRST complex of a conformal vertex algebra with central charge 26. They gave explicit generators and relations for the cohomology algebra equipped with these operations in the case of the c = 1 model. In this paper, we describe another such example, namely, the semi-infinite Weil complex of the Virasoro algebra. The semi-infinite Weil complex of a tame -graded Lie algebra was defined in 1991 by Feigin-Frenkel, and they computed the linear structure of its cohomology in the case of the Virasoro algebra. We build on this result by giving an explicit generator for each non-zero cohomology class, and describing all algebraic relations in the sense of Lian-Zuckerman, among these generators.     

The Virasoro algebra

Three theroems are proved. With suitable hypotheses in each case, characterizations are found for the Virasoro algebra, for some of its representations, and for the Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz superalgebra built around the Virasoro algebra.     

Irreducible representations of Virasoro-toroidal Lie algebras

Toroidal Lie algebras and their vertex operator representations were introduced in [MEY] and a class of indecomposable modules were investigated. In this work, we extend the toroidal algebra by the Virasoro algebra thus constructing a semi-direct product algebra containing the toroidal algebra as an ideal and the Virasoro algebra as a subalgebra. With the use of vertex operators and certain oscillator representations of the Virasoro algebra it is proved that the corresponding Fock space gives rise to a class of irreducible modules for the Virasoro-toroidal algebra.To A.

Sugawara construction for higher genus Riemann surfaces

By the classical genus zero Sugawara construction one obtains representations of the Virasoro algebra from admissible representations of affine Lie algebras (Kac-Moody algebras of affine type). In this lecture, the classical construction is recalled first. Then, after giving a review on the global multi-point algebras of Krichever-Novikov type for compact Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus, the higher genus Sugawara construction is introduced. Finally, the lecture reports on results obtained in a joint work with O. K. Sheinman. We were able to show that also in the higher genus, multi-point situation one obtains (from representations of the global algebras of affine type) representations of a centrally extended algebra of meromorphic vector fields on Riemann surfaces. The latter algebra is a generalization of the Virasoro algebra to higher genus.     

Remarks on the quantization of conformal fields

The quantization of a general (b, c) system in two dimensions is formulated in terms of an infinite hierarchy of modules for the Virasoro algebra that interpolate between the space of classical conformal fields of weight j and the Dirac sea of semi-infinite forms. This provides a natural framework in which to study the relation between algebraic geometry and representations of the Virasoro algebra with central charge c_j=−2(6j²−6j+1). The importance of the construction is discussed in the context of string theory.     

VIRASORO ALGEBRA FOR THE THEORY OF THE REDUCED GRAVITY

In the paper we give a new transformation in the reduced gravity, which is associated with the Virasoro algebra without the center term. To compare with the Geroch group it is easy to establish the relationship between the Virasoro algebra and the Kac-Moody algebra in the theory of the reduced gravity. Then we point out that the transformation can be adopted to generated the new solutions of the Ernst equation from the old ones.
