Dear colleagues,
We are having a seminar on Affine Lie Algebras this semester. The goal is to understand various aspects of the theory useful in both mathematics and physics. The seminar will meet once a week on
Thursdays 3:00-4:30 pm - Priestly Building 67-442. The first meeting will be this coming Thursday (March 1).
This is a continuation of the seminar we had last semester regarding mathematical aspects of quantum field theory. Following the approach of the last semester, most of the talks will be given by students and on voluntary basis. The talks will be of informal nature, with lots of questions and discussions. New postgraduate students who are interested in the topic are especially encouraged to participate. We hope to continue to have the presence of the more knowledgable staff to guide us through the intricacies of the subject.
The program of the seminar can be found at: https://sites.google.com/site/masoudkomi/research/qft
This is the only email sent to the mass email list regarding this semester's seminar. If you are not already on the seminar's list and would like to be informed, please send me an email and I will include you in the future announcements.
All the best,
topics
Kac-Moody algebras
affine Lie algerbas as central extensions of loop algerbas
Sugawara construction of Virasoro algebra
integrable highest weight representations of affine Lie algebras
Wess-Zumino-Witten model
Weyl-Kac character formula and modular transformations
fusion rules and Verlinde formula
vertex operator constructions of basic representations
future topics
- admissible representations
- Heisenberg or Virasoro?
