The Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon-Ariki theory asserts that the K-group of the representations of the affine Hecke algebras of type A is isomorphic to the algebra of functions on the maximal unipotent subgroup of the group associated with a Lie algebra g where g is gl ∞ or the affine Lie algebra A (1) l , and the irreducible representations correspond to the upper global bases. Recently, N. Enomoto an...

Various constructions of the affine Lie algebra action on the moduli space of instantons on 4-manifolds are discussed. The analogy between the local-global principle and the role of mass is also explained. The detailed proofs are given in separated papers [16, 17].
