This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of vertex operator algebras and their representations has been showing its power in the solution of concrete mathematical problems and in the understanding of conceptual but subtle mathematical and physical struc- tures of conformal field theories. Much of the recent progress has deep connec- tions with complex analysis and conformal geometry. Future developments, especially constructions and studies of higher-genus theories, will need a solid geometric theory of vertex operator algebras. Back in 1986, Manin already observed in Man) that the quantum theory of (super )strings existed (in some sense) in two entirely different mathematical fields. Under canonical quantization this theory appeared to a mathematician as the representation theories of the Heisenberg, Vir as oro and affine Kac- Moody algebras and their superextensions. Quantization with the help of the Polyakov path integral led on the other hand to the analytic theory of algebraic (super ) curves and their moduli spaces, to invariants of the type of the analytic curvature, and so on.He pointed out further that establishing direct mathematical connections between these two forms of a single theory was a big and important problem. On the one hand, the theory of vertex operator algebras and their repre- sentations unifies (and considerably extends) the representation theories of the Heisenberg, Virasoro and Kac-Moody algebras and their superextensions.
Download or read book On Axiomatic Approaches to Vertex Operator Algebras and Modules written by Igor Frenkel and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1993 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic definitions and properties of vertex operator algebras, modules, intertwining operators and related concepts are presented, following a fundamental analogy with Lie algebra theory. The first steps in the development of the general theory are taken, and various natural and useful reformulations of the axioms are given. In particular, tensor products of algebras and modules, adjoint vertex operators and contragradient modules, adjoint intertwining operators and fusion rules are studied in greater depth. This paper lays the monodromy-free axiomatic foundation of the general theory of vertex operator algebras, modules and intertwining operators.

Download or read book Extensions of the Jacobi Identity for Vertex Operators and Standard A 1 1 Modules written by Cristiano Husu and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1993 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main axiom for a vertex operator algebra (over a field of characteristic zero), the Jacobi identity, is extended to multi-operator identities. Then relative [bold capital]Z2-twisted vertex operators are introduced and a Jacobi identity for these operators is established. Then these ideas are used to interpret and recover the twisted [bold capital]Z-operators and corresponding generating function identities developed by Lepowsky and R. L. Wilson. This work is closely related to the twisted parafermion algebra constructed by Zamolodchikov-Fateev.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a new proof of the identities needed to exhibit an explicit [bold]Z-basis for the universal enveloping algebra associated to an affine Lie algebra. We then use the explicit [bold]Z-bases to extend Borcherds' description, via vertex operator representations, of a [bold]Z-form of the enveloping algebras for the simply-laced affine Lie algebras to the enveloping algebras associated to the unequal root length affine Lie algebras.
Download or read book The Subregular Germ of Orbital Integrals written by Thomas Callister Hales and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integral formula for the subregular germ of a [italic small capital]K-orbital integral is developed. The formula holds for any reductive group over a [italic]p-adic field of characteristic zero. This expression of the subregular germ is obtained by applying Igusa's theory of asymptotic expansions. The integral formula is applied to the question of the transfer of a [italic small capital]K-orbital integral to an endoscopic group. It is shown that the quadratic characters arising in the subregular germs are compatible with the transfer. Details of the transfer are given for the subregular germ of unitary groups.

Download or read book Duality and Definability in First Order Logic written by Michael Makkai and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1993 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We develop a duality theory for small Boolean pretoposes in which the dual of the [italic capital]T is the groupoid of models of a Boolean pretopos [italic capital]T equipped with additional structure derived from ultraproducts. The duality theorem states that any small Boolean pretopos is canonically equivalent to its double dual. We use a strong version of the duality theorem to prove the so-called descent theorem for Boolean pretoposes which says that category of descent data derived from a conservative pretopos morphism between Boolean pretoposes is canonically equivalent to the domain-pretopos. The descent theorem contains the Beth definability theorem for classical first order logic. Moreover, it gives, via the standard translation from the language of categories to symbolic logic, a new definability theorem for classical first order logic concerning set-valued functors on models, expressible in purely syntactical (arithmetical) terms.
Download or read book Semistability of Amalgamated Products and HNN Extensions written by Michael L. Mihalik and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, the authors show that amalgamated products and HNN-extensions of finitely presented semistable at infinity groups are also semistable at infinity. A major step toward determining whether all finitely presented groups are semistable at infinity, this result easily generalizes to finite graphs of groups. The theory of group actions on trees and techniques derived from the proof of Dunwoody's accessibility theorem are key ingredients in this work.
Download or read book The Inverse Problem of the Calculus of Variations for Ordinary Differential Equations written by Ian Anderson and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph explores various aspects of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations for systems of ordinary differential equations. The main problem centres on determining the existence and degree of generality of Lagrangians whose system of Euler-Lagrange equations coicides with a given system of ordinary differential equations. The authors rederive the basic necessary and sufficient conditions of Douglas for second order equations and extend them to equations of higher order using methods of the variational bicomplex of Tulcyjew, Vinogradov, and Tsujishita. The authors present an algorithm, based upon exterior differential systems techniques, for solving the inverse problem for second order equations. a number of new examples illustrate the effectiveness of this approach.
Download or read book Abelian Coverings of the Complex Projective Plane Branched along Configurations of Real Lines written by Eriko Hironaka and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1993 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work studies abelian branched coverings of smooth complex projective surfaces from the topological viewpoint. Geometric information about the coverings (such as the first Betti numbers of a smooth model or intersections of embedded curves) is related to topological and combinatorial information about the base space and branch locus. Special attention is given to examples in which the base space is the complex projective plane and the branch locus is a configuration of lines.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Similar in philosophy to the study of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, the central theme of this book is that spaces of (pseudoconvex) domains should admit geometrical structures that reflect the complex geometry of the underlying domains in a natural way. With its unusual geometric perspective of some topics in several complex variables, this book appeals to those who view much of mathematics in broadly geometrical terms.
