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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First we investigate the structure of Lie algebras with invariant cones and give a characterization of those Lie algebras containing pointed and generating invariant cones. Then we study the global structure of invariant Lie semigroups, and how far Lie's third theorem remains true for invariant cones and Lie semigroups.
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 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 Lie Algebras Vertex Operator Algebras and Related Topics written by Katrina Barron and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on Lie Algebras, Vertex Operator Algebras, and Related Topics, celebrating the 70th birthday of James Lepowsky and Robert Wilson, held from August 14–18, 2015, at the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana. Since their seminal work in the 1970s, Lepowsky and Wilson, their collaborators, their students, and those inspired by their work, have developed an amazing body of work intertwining the fields of Lie algebras, vertex algebras, number theory, theoretical physics, quantum groups, the representation theory of finite simple groups, and more. The papers presented here include recent results and descriptions of ongoing research initiatives representing the broad influence and deep connections brought about by the work of Lepowsky and Wilson and include a contribution by Yi-Zhi Huang summarizing some major open problems in these areas, in particular as they pertain to two-dimensional conformal field theory.
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.
Download or read book Unraveling the Integral Knot Concordance Group written by Neal W. Stoltzfus and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1977 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The group of concordance classes of high dimensional homotopy spheres knotted in codimension two in the standard sphere has an intricate algebraic structure which this paper unravels. The first level of invariants is given by the classical Alexander polynomial. By means of a transfer construction, the integral Seifert matrices of knots whose Alexander polynomial is a power of a fixed irreducible polynomial are related to forms with the appropriate Hermitian symmetry on torsion free modules over an order in the algebraic number field determined by the Alexander polynomial. This group is then explicitly computed in terms of standard arithmetic invariants. In the symmetric case, this computation shows there are no elements of order four with an irreducible Alexander polynomial. Furthermore, the order is not necessarily Dedekind and non-projective modules can occur. The second level of invariants is given by constructing an exact sequence relating the global concordance group to the individual pieces described above. The integral concordance group is then computed by a localization exact sequence relating it to the rational group computed by J. Levine and a group of torsion linking forms.
Download or read book Imbeddings of Three Manifold Groups written by Francisco González-Acuña and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper deals with the two broad questions of how 3-manifold groups imbed in one another and how such imbeddings relate to any corresponding [lowercase Greek]Pi1-injective maps. In particular, we are interested in 1) determining which 3-manifold groups are no cohopfian, that is, which 3-manifold groups imbed properly in themselves, 2) determining the knot subgroups of a knot group, and 3) determining when surgery on a knot [italic]K yields a lens (or "lens-like") space and the relationship of such a surgery to the knot-subgroup structure of [lowercase Greek]Pi1([italic]S3 - [italic]K). Our work requires the formulation of a deformation theorem for [lowercase Greek]Pi1-injective maps between certain kinds of Haken manifolds and the development of some algebraic tools.
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.
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 Cohen Macaulay and Gorenstein Rees Algebras Associated to Filtrations written by Shirō Gotō and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1994 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first, this volume was intended to be an investigation of symbolic blow-up rings for prime ideals defining curve singularities. The motivation for that has come from the recent 3-dimensional counterexamples to Cowsik's question, given by the authors and Watanabe: it has to be helpful, for further researches on Cowsik's question and a related problem of Kronecker, to generalize their methods to those of a higher dimension. However, while the study was progressing, it proved apparent that the framework of Part I still works, not only for the rather special symbolic blow-up rings but also in the study of Rees algebras R(F) associated to general filtrations F = {F[subscript]n} [subscript]n [subscript][set membership symbol][subscript bold]Z of ideals. This observation is closely explained in Part II of this volume, as a general ring-theory of Rees algebras R(F). We are glad if this volume will be a new starting point for the further researchers on Rees algebras R(F) and their associated graded rings G(F).
Download or read book A Generalization of Riemann Mappings and Geometric Structures on a Space of Domains in C n written by Stephen Semmes and published by American Mathematical Soc.. 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.
Download or read book Gorenstein Quotient Singularities in Dimension Three written by Stephen Shing-Toung Yau and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1993 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In chapter one we address the classification of finite subgroups of [italic capitals]SL([bold]3,[double-struck capital]C). This is followed by a general method to find invariant polynomials and their relations of finite subgroups of [italic capitals]GL([bold]3,[double-struck capital]C). Lastly, we recall some properties of quotient varieties and prove that [double-struck capital]C3/[italic capital]G has isolated singularities if and only if [italic capital]G is abelian and 1 is not an eigenvalue of g in [italic capital]G.
Download or read book On Sets Not Belonging to Algebras of Subsets written by Leonid Š. Grinblat 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: The main results of this work can be formulated in such a way that they will attract a broad spectrum of mathematical interest, but the main audience includes combinatorialists, set-theorists, and topologists. This paper explores a central question: Suppose one is given an at most countable family of algebras of subsets of some fixed set such that, for each algebra, there exits at least one set that is not a member of that algebra. The principal concern is to determine conditions that, if imposed on the algebras, will insure the existence of a set not belonging to any of them.
