String Path Integral Realization of Vertex Operator Algebras by Haruo Tsukada Pdf
We establish relations between vertex operator algebras in mathematics and string path integrals in physics. In particular, we construct the basic representations of affine Lie algebras of [italic capitals]ÂD̂Ê-type using a method of string path integrals.
Two-Dimensional Conformal Geometry and Vertex Operator Algebras by Yi-Zhi Huang Pdf
The theory of vertex operator algebras and their representations has been showing its power in the solution of concrete mathematical problems and in the understanding of conceptual but subtle mathematical and physical struc- tures of conformal field theories. Much of the recent progress has deep connec- tions with complex analysis and conformal geometry. Future developments, especially constructions and studies of higher-genus theories, will need a solid geometric theory of vertex operator algebras. Back in 1986, Manin already observed in Man) that the quantum theory of (super )strings existed (in some sense) in two entirely different mathematical fields. Under canonical quantization this theory appeared to a mathematician as the representation theories of the Heisenberg, Vir as oro and affine Kac- Moody algebras and their superextensions. Quantization with the help of the Polyakov path integral led on the other hand to the analytic theory of algebraic (super ) curves and their moduli spaces, to invariants of the type of the analytic curvature, and so on.He pointed out further that establishing direct mathematical connections between these two forms of a single theory was a big and important problem. On the one hand, the theory of vertex operator algebras and their repre- sentations unifies (and considerably extends) the representation theories of the Heisenberg, Virasoro and Kac-Moody algebras and their superextensions.
On Axiomatic Approaches to Vertex Operator Algebras and Modules by Igor Frenkel,Yi-Zhi Huang,James Lepowsky Pdf
The notion of vertex operator algebra arises naturally in the vertex operator construction of the Monster - the largest sporadic finite simple group. From another perspective, the theory of vertex operator algebras and their modules forms the algebraic foundation of conformal field theory. Vertex operator algebras and conformal field theory are now known to be deeply related to many important areas of mathematics. This essentially self-contained monograph develops the basic axiomatic theory of vertex operator algebras and their modules and intertwining operators, following a fundamental analogy with Lie algebra theory. The main axiom, the 'Jacobi(-Cauchy) identity', is a far-reaching analog of the Jacobi identity for Lie algebras.The authors show that the Jacobi identity is equivalent to suitably formulated rationality, commutativity, and associativity properties of products of quantum fields. A number of other foundational and useful results are also developed. This work was originally distributed as a preprint in 1989, and in view of the current widespread interest in the subject among mathematicians and theoretical physicists, its publication and availability should prove no less useful than when it was written.

Vertex Algebras and Integral Bases for the Enveloping Algebras of Affine Lie Algebras by Shari A. Prevost Pdf
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.
Extensions of the Jacobi Identity for Vertex Operators, and Standard $A^{(1)}_1$-Modules by Cristiano Husu Pdf
This book extends the Jacobi identity, the main axiom for a vertex operator algebra, to multi-operator identities. Based on constructions of Dong and Lepowsky, relative ${\mathbf Z}_2$-twisted vertex operators are then introduced, and a Jacobi identity for these operators is established. Husu uses these ideas to interpret and recover the twisted Z -operators and corresponding generating function identities developed by Lepowsky and Wilson for the construction of the standard $A^{(1)}_1$-modules. The point of view of the Jacobi identity also shows the equivalence between these twisted Z-operator algebras and the (twisted) parafermion algebras constructed by Zamolodchikov and Fadeev. The Lepowsky-Wilson generating function identities correspond to the identities involved in the construction of a basis for the space of C-disorder fields of such parafermion algebras.
The Subregular Germ of Orbital Integrals by Thomas Callister Hales Pdf
Langlands theory predicts deep relationships between representations of different reductive groups over a local or global field. The trace formula attempts to reduce many such relationships to problems concerning conjugacy classes and integrals over conjugacy classes (orbital integrals) on $p$-adic groups. It is possible to reformulate these problems as ones in algebraic geometry by associating a variety $Y$ to each reductive group. Using methods of Igusa, the geometrical properties of the variety give detailed information about the asymptotic behavior of integrals over conjugacy classes.This monograph constructs the variety $Y$ and describes its geometry. As an application, the author uses the variety to give formulas for the leading terms (regular and subregular germs) in the asymptotic expansion of orbital integrals over $p$-adic fields. The final chapter shows how the properties of the variety may be used to confirm some predictions of Langlands theory on orbital integrals, Shalika germs, and endoscopy.
Projective Modules over Lie Algebras of Cartan Type by Daniel Ken Nakano Pdf
This monograph focuses on extending theorems for the classical Lie algebras in order to determine the structure and representation theory for Lie algebras of Cartan type. More specifically, Nakano investigates the block theory for the restricted universal enveloping algebras of the Lie algebras of Cartan type. The first section employs techniques developed by Holmes and Nakano to prove a Brauer-Humphreys reciprocity law for graded restricted Lie algebras and also to find the decompositions for the intermediate (Verma) modules used in the reciprocity law. The second section uses this information to investigate the structure of projective modules for the Lie algebras of types W and K. The restricted enveloping algebras for these Lie algebras are shown to have one block. Furthermore, Nakano provides a procedure for computing the Cartan invariants for Lie algebras of types W and K, given knowledge about the decomposition of the generalized Verma modules and about the Jantzen matrix of the classical/reductive zero component. Noteworthy for its readability and the continuity of its theme and purpose, this monograph appeals to graduate students and researchers interested in Lie algebras.
Duality and Definability in First Order Logic by Michael Makkai Pdf
Using the theory of categories as a framework, this book develops a duality theory for theories in first order logic in which the dual of a theory is the category of its models with suitable additional structure. This duality theory resembles and generalizes M. H. Stone's famous duality theory for Boolean algebras. As an application, the author derives a result akin to the well-known definability theorem of E. W. Beth. This new definability theorem is related to theorems of descent in category theory and algebra and can also be stated as a result in pure logic without reference to category theory. Containing novel techniques as well as applications of classical methods, this carefuly written book shows an attention to both organization and detail and will appeal to mathematicians and philosophers interested in category theory.
Semistability of Amalgamated Products and HNN-Extensions by Michael L. Mihalik,Steven Thomas Tschantz Pdf
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.
The Inverse Problem of the Calculus of Variations for Ordinary Differential Equations by Ian Anderson,Gerard Thompson Pdf
This monograph explores various aspects of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations for systems of ordinary differential equations. The main problem centers on determining the existence and degree of generality of Lagrangians whose system of Euler-Lagrange equations coincides with a given system of ordinary differential equations. The authors rederive the basic necessary and sufficient conditions of Douglas for second order equations and extend them to equations of higher order using methods of the variational bicomplex of Tulcyjew, Vinogradov, and Tsujishita. What emerges is a fundamental dichotomy between second and higher order systems: the most general Lagrangian for any higher order system can depend only upon finitely many constants. The authors present an algorithm, based upon exterior differential systems techniques, for solving the inverse problem for second order equations. A number of new examples illustrate the effectiveness of this approach. The monograph also contains a study of the inverse problem for a pair of geodesic equations arising from a two dimensional symmetric affine connection. The various possible solutions to the inverse problem for these equations are distinguished by geometric properties of the Ricci tensor.
Abelian Coverings of the Complex Projective Plane Branched along Configurations of Real Lines by Eriko Hironaka Pdf
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.
A Generalization of Riemann Mappings and Geometric Structures on a Space of Domains in C$^n$ by Stephen Semmes Pdf
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.
Gorenstein Quotient Singularities in Dimension Three by Stephen Shing-Toung Yau,Yung Yu Pdf
If $G$ is a finite subgroup of $G\!L(3,{\mathbb C})$, then $G$ acts on ${\mathbb C}^3$, and it is known that ${\mathbb C}^3/G$ is Gorenstein if and only if $G$ is a subgroup of $S\!L(3,{\mathbb C})$. In this work, the authors begin with a classification of finite subgroups of $S\!L(3,{\mathbb C})$, including two types, (J) and (K), which have often been overlooked. They go on to present a general method for finding invariant polynomials and their relations to finite subgroups of $G\!L(3,{\mathbb C})$. The method is, in practice, substantially better than the classical method due to Noether. Some properties of quotient varieties are presented, along with a proof that ${\mathbb C}^3/G$ has isolated singularities if and only if $G$ is abelian and 1 is not an eigenvalue of $g$ for every nontrivial $g \in G$. The authors also find minimal quotient generators of the ring of invariant polynomials and relations among them.
Rankin-Selberg Convolutions for SO_2+1GL_n : Local Theory by David Soudry Pdf
This work studies the local theory for certain Rankin-Selberg convolutions for the standard $L$-function of degree $21n$ of generic representations of $\textnormal{SO}_{2\ell +1}(F)\times \textnormal{GL}_n(F)$ over a local field $F$. The local integrals converge in a half-plane and continue meromorphically to the whole plane. One main result is the existence of local gamma and $L$-factors. The gamma factor is obtained as a proportionality factor of a functional equation satisfied by the local integrals. In addition, Soudry establishes the multiplicativity of the gamma factor ($1
