Symmetries of the Kac-Peterson Modular Matrices of Affine Algebras

چکیده

One of the more fruitful observations in recent years was the discovery [19] that the (normalized) character χμ of the integrable highest weight g-module L(μ) of a nontwisted Kac-Moody algebra g = X (1) r is a modular form. Thanks to the structure of the affine Weyl group, these χμ can be written as ratios of theta functions, so on them exists a natural action of SL2(Z). In fact, this action defines a representation

Modular invariant representations of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and superalgebras.

In this paper, we launch a program to describe and classify modular invariant representations of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and superalgebras. We prove a character formula for a large class of highest weight representations L(lambda) of a Kac-Moody algebra [unk] with a symmetrizable Cartan matrix, generalizing the Weyl-Kac character formula [Kac, V. G. (1974) Funct. Anal. Appl. 8, 68-70]...

Hunting for the New Symmetries in Calabi-Yau Jungles

It was proposed that the Calabi-Yau geometry can be intrinsically connected with some new symmetries, some new algebras. In order to do this it has been analyzed the graphs constructed from K3-fibre CYd (d ≥ 3) reflexive polyhedra. The graphs can be naturally get in the frames of Universal Calabi-Yau algebra (UCYA) and may be decode by universal way with the changing of some restrictions on the...

The Classification of the Simply Laced Berger Graphs from Calabi-Yau CY3 spaces

The algebraic approach to the construction of the reflexive polyhedra that yield Calabi-Yau spaces in three or more complex dimensions with K3 fibres reveals graphs that include and generalize the Dynkin diagrams associated with gauge symmetries. In this work we continue to study the structure of graphs obtained from CY3 reflexive polyhedra. The objective is to describe the “simply laced” cases...

Generalized Cartan-Kac Matrices inspired from Calabi-Yau spaces

The object of this work is the systematical study of a certain type of generalized Cartan matrices associated with the Dynkin diagrams that characterize CartanLie and affine Kac-Moody algebras. These generalized matrices are associated to graphs which arise in the study and classification of Calabi-Yau spaces through Toric Geometry. We focus in the study of what should be considered the general...

A 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...
