Recent Developments in Infinite-Dimensional Lie Algebras and Conformal Field Theory: Proceedings of an International Conference on ... of Virginia, charl

by Stephen Berman (Editor), Paul Fendley (Editor), Yi-Zhi Huang (Editor)

Mathematicians and physicists from a number of countries exchange views on the representation theory of affine, quantum affine, extended affine Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras, and applications to conformal field theory and integrable and disordered systems. The 14 papers discuss such topics as symmetric functions and representations of quantum affine algebras, Lie algebra automorphisms in conformal field theory, and weak modules and logarithmic intertwining operators for vertix operator algebras. They are not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
