Lowest-energy representations of non-centrally extended diffeomorphism algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a class of non-central extensions of the diffeomorphism algebra in N -dimensional spacetime, and construct lowest-energy modules thereof, thus generalizing work of Eswara-Rao and Moody. There is one representation for each representation of V ir⋉̃k0 ĝl(N) (an extension of the semi-direct product). Similar modules are constructed for gauge algebras.

Fock representations of non-centrally extended super-diffeomorphism algebras
A class of Fock representations of non-central extensions of the super-diffeomorphism algebra in (N+1|M) dimensions is constructed, by superization of the paper [physics/9705040]. The representations act on trajectories in (N |M)-dimensional superspace, the extra dimension being the parameter along the trajectory. The restrictions to various subalgebras are considered. In particular, the centra...
متن کاملKoszul-Tate Cohomology as Lowest-Energy Modules of Non-Centrally Extended Diffeomorphism Algebras
Fock modules for multi-dimensional Virasoro algebras (non-central extensions of the diffeomorphism algebra vect(N)) have recently been reported. Using ideas from the antifield formalism, I construct new classes of lowest-energy modules, as cohomology groups of a certain Fock complex. The Fock construction involves a passage to p-jets prior to normal ordering, but the abelian charges usually div...
متن کاملExtensions of diffeomorphism and current algebras
Dzhumadil’daev has classified all tensor module extensions of diff(N), the diffeomorphism algebra in N dimensions, and its subalgebras of divergence free, Hamiltonian, and contact vector fields. I review his results using explicit tensor notation. All of his generic cocycles are limits of trivial cocycles, and many arise from the Mickelsson-Faddeev algebra for gl(N). Then his results are extend...
متن کاملThe diffeomorphism algebra approach to quantum gravity
The representation theory of non-centrally extended Lie algebras of Noether symmetries, including spacetime diffeomorphisms and reparametrizations of the observer’s trajectory, has recently been developped. It naturally solves some long-standing problems in quantum gravity, e.g. the role of diffeomorphisms and the causal structure, but some new questions also arise.
متن کاملQuantum physics as the projective representation theory of Noether symmetries
I construct lowest-energy representations of non-centrally extended algebras of Noether symmetries, including diffeomorphisms and reparametrizations of the observer’s trajectory. This may be viewed as a new scheme for quantization. First classical physics is formulated as the cohomology of a certain Koszul-Tate (KT) complex, using not only fields and antifields but also their conjugate momenta....
