Quaternifiations and extensions of current algebras on S^3
Abstract
Let be the quaternion algebra. Let be a complex Lie algebra and let be the enveloping algebra of . We define a Lie algebra structure on the tensor product space of and , and obtain the quaternification of . Let be the set of -valued smooth mappings over . The Lie algebra structure on is induced naturally from that of . On exists the space of Laurent polynomial spinors spanned by a complete orthogonal system of eigen spinors of the tangential Dirac operator on . Tensoring we have the space of -valued Laurent polynomial spinors, which is a Lie subalgebra of . We introduce a 2-cocycle on the space of -valued Laurent polynomial spinors by the aid of a tangential vector field on . Then we have the corresponding central extension of the Lie algebra of -valued Laurent polynomial spinors. Finally we have the a Lie algebra which is obtained by adding to a derivation which acts on as the radial derivation. When is a simple Lie algebra with its Cartan subalgebra , We shall investigate the weight space decomposition of , where . The previous versions (v1-v7) of this article contained several incorrect assertions and here we have corrected them.
