Abstract

Let GG be a simple algebraic group of type AA or DD defined over \C\C and TT be a maximal torus of GG. For a dominant coweight λ\lambda of GG, the TT-fixed point subscheme (GrˉGλ)T(\bar{Gr}_G^\lambda)^T of the Schubert variety GrˉGλ\bar{Gr}_G^\lambda in the affine Grassmannian GrGGr_G is a finite scheme. We prove that there is a natural isomorphism between the dual of the level one affine Demazure module corresponding to λ\lambda and the ring of functions (twisted by certain line bundle on GrGGr_G) of (GrˉGλ)T(\bar{Gr}_G^\lambda)^T. We use this fact to give a geometric proof of the Frenkel-Kac-Segal isomorphism between basic representations of affine algebras of A,D,EA,D,E type and lattice vertex algebras.
