Inönü - Wigner Contraction of Kac-Moody Algebras
We discuss Inönü-Wigner contractions of affine Kac-Moody algebras. We show that the Sugawara construction for the contracted affine algebra exists only for a fixed value of the level k, which is determined in terms of the dimension of the uncontracted part of the starting Lie algebra, and the quadratic Casimir in the adjoint representation. Further, we discuss contractions of G/H coset spaces, ...
متن کاملA Theory of Lorentzian Kac–moody Algebras
We present a variant of the Theory of Lorentzian (i. e. with a hyperbolic generalized Cartan matrix) Kac–Moody algebras recently developed by V. A. Gritsenko and the author. It is closely related with and strongly uses results of R. Borcherds. This theory should generalize well-known Theories of finite Kac–Moody algebras (i. e. classical semi-simple Lie algebras corresponding to positive genera...
متن کاملA characterization of generalized Kac - Moody algebras
Generalized Kac-Moody algebras can be described in two ways: either using generators and relations, or as Lie algebras with an almost positive definite symmetric contravariant bilinear form. Unfortunately it is usually hard to check either of these conditions for any naturally occurring Lie algebra. In this paper we give a third characterization of generalized Kac-Moody algebras which is easier...
متن کاملRegular Subalgebras of Affine Kac–moody Algebras
We classify regular subalgebras of affine Kac–Moody algebras in terms of their root systems. In the process, we establish that a root system of a subalgebra is always an intersection of the root system of the algebra with a sublattice of its root lattice. We also discuss applications to investigations of regular subalgebras of hyperbolic Kac–Moody algebras and conformally invariant subalgebras ...
متن کاملOn Classification of Lorentzian Kac–moody Algebras
We discuss a general theory of Lorentzian Kac–Moody algebras which should be a hyperbolic analogy of the classical theories of finite-dimensional semisimple and affine Kac–Moody algebras. First examples of Lorentzian Kac–Moody algebras were found by Borcherds. We consider general finiteness results about the set of Lorentzian Kac–Moody algebras and the problem of their classification. As an exa...
