Structure of Lorentzian algebras and Conformal Field Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-09-25 v1

Abstract

The main properties of indefinite Kac-Moody and Borcherds algebras, considered in a unified way as Lorentzian algebras, are reviewed. The connection with the conformal field theory of the vertex operator construction is discussed. By the folding procedure a class of subalgebras is obtained.
