We construct integral forms containing the conformal vector $\omega$ in certain tensor powers of the Virasoro vertex operator algebra $L(\frac{1}{2},0)$, and we construct integral forms in certain modules for these algebras. When a triple…
The affine current algebra for Lie superalgebras is examined. The bilinear invariant forms of the Lie superalgebra can be either degenerate or non-degenerate. We give the conditions for a Virasoro construction, in which the currents are…
For the minimal O(N) sigma model, which is defined to be generated by the O(N) scalar auxiliary field alone, all n-point functions, till order 1/N included, can be expressed by elementary functions without logarithms. Consequently, the…
We examine two nonselfadjoint operator algebras: the weighted shift algebra, and the Volterra operator algebra. In both cases, the operator algebra is the norm closure of the polynomials in the operator norm. In the case of the weighted…
In the present contribution, I report on certain {\it non-linear} and {\it non-local} extensions of the conformal (Virasoro) algebra. These so-called $V$-algebras are matrix generalizations of $W$-algebras. First, in the context of…
We consider a field theoretical model on the noncommutative cylinder which leads to a discrete-time evolution. Its Euclidean version is shown to be equivalent to a model on the complex $q$-plane. We reveal a direct link between the model on…
In a recent paper by the authors, Lie bialgebras structures of generalized Virasoro-like type were considered. In this paper, the explicit formula of the quantization of generalized Virasoro-like algebras is presented.
We describe a number of relationships between properties of the vacuum Verma module of a Virasoro algebra and the automorphism group of certain vertex operator algebras. These groups include the Deligne exceptional series of simple Lie…
Nonlinear sigma models on de Sitter background possess the same kind of derivative interactions as gravity, and show the same sorts of large spacetime logarithms in correlation functions and solutions to the effective field equations. It…
We propose a graphic method to derive the classical algebra (Dirac brackets) of non-local conserved charges in the two dimensional supersymmetric non-linear $O(N)$ sigma model. As in the purely bosonic theory we find a cubic Yangian…
Vertex operators for the deformed Virasoro algebra are defined, their bosonic representation is constructed and difference equation for the simplest vertex operators is described.
We obtain complete classification of in-equivalent realizations of the Virasoro algebra by Lie vector fields over the three-dimensional field of real numbers. As an application we construct new classes of nonlinear second-order partial…
On the basis of the collective field method, we analyze the Calogero--Sutherland model (CSM) and the Selberg--Aomoto integral, which defines, in particular case, the partition function of the matrix models. Vertex operator realizations for…
Motivated by the necessity to include so-called logarithmic operators in conformal field theories (Gurarie, 1993) at values of the central charge belonging to the logarithmic series c_{1,p}=1-6(p-1)^2/p, reducible but indecomposable…
From the defining exchange relations of the A_{q,p}(gl_{N}) elliptic quantum algebra, we construct subalgebras which can be characterized as q-deformed W_N algebras. The consistency conditions relating the parameters p,q,N and the central…
We explore the O(N)-invariant Non-Linear Sigma Model (NLSM) in a different perturbative regime from the usual relativistic-free-field one, by using non-canonical basic commutation relations adapted to the underlying O(N) symmetry of the…
Based on the quantum superspace construction of $q$-deformed algebra, we discuss a supersymmetric extension of the deformed Virasoro algebra, which is a subset of the $q$-$W_{\infty}$ algebra recently appeared in the context of…
We present a fractional superspace formulation of the centerless parasuper-Viraso-ro and fractional super-Virasoro algebras. These are two different generalizations of the ordinary super-Virasoro algebra generated by the infinitesimal…
We study the renormalization group flow of the O(N) non-linear sigma model in arbitrary dimensions. The effective action of the model is truncated to fourth order in the derivative expansion and the flow is obtained by combining the…
We review the basic features of a logarithmic conformal field theory that arise in the context of the scaling limit of lattice models. The theory of interest is the symplectic fermions, whose central charge is $-2$. We provide an explicit…
