In a recent paper by the authors, Lie bialgebras structures of generalized Virasoro-like type were considered. In this paper, the explicit formula of the quantization of generalized Virasoro-like algebras is presented.
In this paper, we use the general quantization method by Drinfel'd twists to quantize the Schrödinger-Virasoro Lie algebra whose Lie bialgebra structures were recently discovered by Han-Li-Su. We give two different kinds of Drinfel'd twists, which are then used to construct the corresponding Hopf algebraic structrues. Our results extend the class of examples of noncommutative and noncocommutative Hopf algebras.
Generalized Virasoro algebras (defined as the universal central extension of some generalized Witt algebras) and super-Virasoro algebras and modules of the intermediate series are studied and discussed.
In a recent paper by the authors, Lie bialgebra structures on generalized Heisenberg- Virasoro algebra L are considered. In this paper, the explicit formula of the quantization on generalized Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra is presented.
The first cohomology group of a generalized loop Virasoro algebra with coefficients in the tensor product of its adjoint module is shown to be trivial. The result is applied to prove that Lie bialgebra structures on generalized loop Virasoro algebras are coboundary triangular. We then generalize the results to generalized map Virasoro algebras.
The derivation algebras, automorphism groups and second cohomology groups of the generalized loop Schrödinger-Virasoro algebras are completely determined in this paper.
In this paper, we study the structure theory of a class of not-finitely graded Lie algebras related to generalized Virasoro algebras. In particular,the derivation algebras, the automorphism groups and the second cohomology groups of these Lie algebras are determined.
Following Nag-Sullivan, we study the representation of the group ${\rm Diff}^+(S^1)$ of diffeomorphisms of the circle on the Hilbert space of holomorphic functions. Conformal welding provides a triangular decompositions for the corresponding symplectic transformations. We apply Berezin formalism and lift this decomposition to operators acting on the Fock space. This lift provides quantization of conformal welding, gives a new representative of the Bott-Virasoso cocylce class, and leads to a surprising identity for the Takhtajan-Teo energy functional on ${\rm Diff}^+(S^1)$.
Some natural hidden symmetries in the Verma modules over the Virasoro algebra are constructed in terms of geometric quantization. Their differential geometric meaning is established and their expression via $q_R$-conformal symmetries in the Verma modules over the Lie algebra $sl(2,C)$ is found. The analysis and the unraveling of the algebraic structure of these families of hidden symmetries are performed.
Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field of characteristic 0, $G$ an additive subgroup of $\mathbb{F}$, $α\in \mathbb{F}$ satisfying $α\notin G, 2α\in G$. We define a class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras which are called generalized Schrödinger-Virasoro algebras and use $\mathfrak{gsv}[G,α]$ to denote the one corresponding to $G$ and $α$. In this paper the automorphism group and irreducibility of Verma modules for $\mathfrak{gsv}[G,α]$ are completely determined.
In this paper, we study the structure theory of a class of not-finitely graded Lie algebras related to generalized Heisenberg-Virasoro algebras. In particular, the derivation algebras, the automorphism groups and the second cohomology groups of these Lie algebras are determined.
In this paper, Lie bialgebra structures on generalized Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra $\mathfrak{L}$ are considered. Also, $H^1({\mathfrak{L}} ,\mathfrak{L}\bigotimes\mathfrak{L})$ is given explicitly. Moreover, it is proved that all Lie bialgebra structure on centerless generalized Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra $\bar{\mathfrak{L}}$ are coboundary triangular.
For any additive subgroup $G$ of an arbitrary field $F$ of characteristic zero, there corresponds a generalized Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra $L[G]$. Given a total order of $G$ compatible with its group structure, and any $h,h_I,c,c_I,c_{LI}\in F$, a Verma module $M(h,h_I,c,c_I,c_{LI})$ over $L[G]$ is defined. In the this note, the irreducibility of Verma modules $M(h,h_I,c,c_I,c_{LI})$ is completely determined.
In this paper, we consider the classification of irreducible ${\bf Z}$- and ${\bf Z}^2$-graded modules with finite dimensional homogeneous subspaces over the Virasoro-like algebra. We first prove that such a module is a uniformly bounded module or a generalized highest weight module. Then we determine all generalized highest weight irreducible modules. As a consequence, we also determine all the modules with nonzero center. Finally, we prove that there does not exist any nontrivial ${\bf Z}$-graded modules of intermediate series.
This paper focuses on the connection of holomorphic two-dimensional factorization algebras and vertex algebras which has been made precise in the forthcoming book of Costello-Gwilliam. We provide a construction of the Virasoro vertex algebra starting from a local Lie algebra on the complex plane. Moreover, we discuss an extension of this factorization algebra to a factorization algebra on the category of Riemann surfaces. The factorization homology of this factorization algebra is computed as are the correlation functions. We provide an example of how the Virasoro factorization algebra impleme…
We present the list of irreducible (generalized) highest weight modules over the Virasoro algebra and N=1 super-Virasoro algebras obtained as factor-modules of (generalized) Verma modules. We present also the character formulae of all these modules and single out the unitary irreducible ones. Most formulas are valid for the three algebras under consideration, the different cases being distinguished by two parameters. This is a slightly extended version of an Encyclopedia entry.
It is proved that uniformly bounded simple modules over higher rank super-Virasoro algebras are modules of the intermediate series, and that simple modules with finite dimensional weight spaces are either modules of the intermediate series or generalized highest weight modules.
We define the q-deformed Gelfand-Dickey bracket on the space of q-pseudodifference symbols which agrees with the Poisson Virasoro algebra of E.Frenkel and N.Reshetikhin and its generalizations and prove its uniqueness (in a natural class of quadratic Poisson structures). The associated hierarchies of nonlinear q-difference equations are also constructed.
In two earlier articles we constructed algebraic-geometric families of genus one (i.e. elliptic) Lie algebras of Krichever-Novikov type. The considered algebras are vector fields, current and affine Lie algebras. These families deform the Witt algebra, the Virasoro algebra, the classical current, and the affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras respectively. The constructed families are not equivalent (not even locally) to the trivial families, despite the fact that the classical algebras are formally rigid. This effect is due to the fact that the algebras are infinite dimensional. In this article the re…
It is known that symmetric orbits in ${\bf g}^*$ for any simple Lie algebra ${\bf g}$ are equiped with a Poisson pencil generated by the Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau bracket and the reduced Sklyanin bracket associated to the "canonical" R-matrix. We realize quantization of this Poisson pencil on $\cp$ type orbits (i.e. orbits in $sl(n+1)^*$ whose real compact form is $ CP^n$) by means of q-deformed Verma modules.
Starting from bosonization, we study the operator that commute or commute up-to a total difference with of any quantized screen operator of a free field. We show that if there exists a operator in the form of a sum of two vertex operators which has the simplest correlation functions with the quantized screen operator, namely a function with one pole and one zero, then, the screen operator and this operator are uniquely determined, and this operator is the quantized virasoro algebra. For the case when the screen is a fermion, there are a family of this kind of operator, which give new algebraic…
We propose a q-difference version of the Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction scheme, which gives us q-deformations of the classical W-algebras by reduction from Poisson-Lie loop groups. We consider in detail the case of SL(2). The nontrivial consistency conditions fix the choice of the classical r-matrix defining the Poisson-Lie structure on the loop group LSL(2), and this leads to a new elliptic classical r-matrix. The reduced Poisson algebra coincides with the deformation of the classical Virasoro algebra previously defined in q-alg/9505025. We also consider a discrete analogue of this Poisson algebr…
We discuss the higher dimensional generalizations of the Virasoro and Affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. We present an explicit construction for a central extensions of the Lie Algebra $Map (X, \g)$ where $\g$ is a finite-dimensional Lie algebra and $X$ is a complex manifold that can be described as a "right" higher-dimensional generalization of $C^*$ from the point of view of a corresponding group action. The constructed algebras have most of the good properties of finite dimensional semi-simple Lie algebras and are a new class of generalized Kac-Moody algebras. These algebras have description in…
By using the theory of vertex operator algebras, we gave a new proof of the famous Ramanujan's modulus 5 modular equation from his "Lost Notebook" (p.139 in \cite{R}). Furthermore, we obtained an infinite list of $q$-identities for all odd moduli; thus, we generalized the result of Ramanujan.
We present the method for finding of the nonlinear Poisson-Lie groups structures on the vector spaces and for their quantization. For arbitrary central extension of Lie algebra explicit formulas of quantization are proposed.
We describe two types of Poisson pencils generated by a linear bracket and a quadratic one arising from a classical R-matrix. A quantization scheme is discussed for each. The quantum algebras are represented as the enveloping algebras of ``generalized Lie algebras''.
In the context of Conformal Field Theory (CFT), many results can be obtained from the representation theory of the Virasoro algebra. While the interest in Logarithmic CFTs has been growing recently, the Virasoro representations corresponding to these quantum field theories remain dauntingly complicated, thus hindering our understanding of various critical phenomena. We extend in this paper the construction of Read and Saleur (2007), and uncover a deep relationship between the Virasoro algebra and a finite-dimensional algebra characterizing the properties of two-dimensional statistical models, …
The generalized form of the Kac formula for Verma modules associated with linear brackets of hydrodynamics type is proposed. Second cohomology groups of the generalized Virasoro algebras are calculated. Connection of the central extensions with the problem of quntization of hydrodynamics brackets is demonstrated.
Using a derivative decomposition of the Hochschild differential complex we define a generalized inverse of the Hochschild coboundary operator. It can be applied for systematic computations of star products on Poisson manifolds.
