Let $p$ be a nonzero complex number. Recently, a class of infinite rank Lie conformal algebras $\mathfrak{B}(p)$ was introduced in [13]. In this paper, we study the structure theory of this class of Lie conformal algebras. Specifically, we…
Let $L$ be a Lie algebra of Block type over $\C$ with basis $\{L_{\alpha,i}\,|\,\alpha,i\in\Z\}$ and brackets $[L_{\alpha,i},L_{\beta,j}]=(\beta(i+1)-\alpha(j+1))L_{\alpha+\beta,i+j}$. In this paper, we shall construct a formal distribution…
In this paper, we study Whittaker modules for a Lie algebras of Block type. We define Whittaker modules and under some conditions, obtain a one to one correspondence between the set of isomorphic classes of Whittaker modules over this…
We show that the conformal blocks constructed in the previous article by the first and the third author may be described as certain integrals in equivariant cohomology. When the bundles of conformal blocks have rank one, this construction…
We find an interpretation of the complex of variational calculus in terms of the Lie conformal algebra cohomology theory. This leads to a better understanding of both theories. In particular, we give an explicit construction of the Lie…
In this paper, we study a class of infinite simple Lie conformal algebras associated to a class of generalized Block type Lie algebras. The central extensions, conformal derivations and free intermediate series modules of this class of Lie…
We give a characterization of conformal blocks in terms of the singular cohomology of suitable smooth projective varieties, in genus 0 for classical Lie algebras and $G_2$.
Classical invariants for representations of one Lie group can often be related to invariants of some other Lie group. Physics suggests that the right objects to consider for these questions are certain refinements of classical invariants…
The role of automorphisms of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras in conformal field theory is examined. Two main types of applications are discussed; they are related to the enhancement and reduction of symmetry, respectively. The structures…
We study the relative modular classes of Lie algebroids, and we determine their relationship with the modular classes of Lie algebroids with a twisted Poisson structure.
Lie conformal algebras are useful tools for studying vertex operator algebras and their representations. In this paper, we establish close relations between Poisson conformal algebras and representations of Lie conformal algebras. We also…
These notes survey the theory of (twisted) conformal blocks from an algebro-geometric perspective and have two main goals. The first one is to summarize the construction of conformal blocks from vertex operator algebras, and to describe…
Conformal algebra is an axiomatic description of the operator product expansion of chiral fields in conformal field theory. On the other hand, it is an adequate tool for the study of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras satisfying the locality…
In a previous paper by the authors, we obtain the first example of a finitely freely generated simple $\mathbb Z$-graded Lie conformal algebra of linear growth that cannot be embedded into any general Lie conformal algebra. In this paper,…
We construct a calculus structure on the Lie conformal algebra cochain complex. By restricting to degree one chains, we recover the structure of a g-complex introduced in [DSK]. A special case of this construction is the variational…
We introduce and study a class of Lie algebroids associated to faithful modules which is motivated by the notion of cotangent Lie algebroids of Poisson manifolds. We also give a classification of transitive Lie algebroids and describe…
In this paper we study the subcategory of finite-length objects of the category of positive level integrable representations of a toroidal Lie algebra. The main goal is to characterize the blocks of the category. In the cases when the…
Lie conformal algebras appear in the theory of vertex algebras. Their relation is similar to that of Lie algebras and their universal enveloping algebras. Associative conformal algebras play a role in conformal representation theory. We…
Some cohomology classes associated with an ideal in a Lie algebra, a Poisson structure on the basic functions algebra of contact structure, its Poisson cohomology and geometric (pre)quantization are considered from the algebraic point of…
The purpose of this paper is to extend the cohomology and conformal derivation theories of the classical Lie conformal algebras to Hom-Lie conformal algebras. In this paper, we develop cohomology theory of Hom-Lie conformal algebras and…
