Extended diffeomorphism algebras and trajectories in jet space
Abstract
Let the DRO (Diffeomorphism, Reparametrization, Observer) algebra DRO(N) be the extension of by its four inequivalent Virasoro-like cocycles. Here is the diffeomorphism algebra in -dimensional spacetime and describes reparametrizations of trajectories in the space of tensor-valued -jets. DRO(N) has a Fock module for each and each representation of . Analogous representations for gauge algebras (higher-dimensional Kac-Moody algebras) are also given. The reparametrization symmetry can be eliminated by a gauge fixing procedure, resulting in previously discovered modules. In this process, two DRO(N) cocycles transmute into anisotropic cocycles for . Thus the Fock modules of toroidal Lie algebras and their derivation algebras are geometrically explained.
