The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil…
Recently a remarkable map between 4-dimensional superconformal field theories and vertex algebras has been constructed \cite{BLLPRV15}. This has lead to new insights in the theory of characters of vertex algebras. In particular it was…
Using combinatorics of Young walls, we give a new realization of arbitrary level irreducible highest weight crystals $\mathcal{B}(\lambda)$ for quantum affine algebras of type $A_n^{(1)}$, $B_n^{(1)}$, $C_n^{(1)}$, $A_{2n-1}^{(2)}$,…
Let G be an almost simple, simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. In this paper we restate our conjecture from 1979 on the characters of irreducible modular representations of G so that it…
Let Uq(g) be the quantum affine superalgebra associated with an affine Kac-Moody superalgebra g which belongs to the three series osp(1|2n)^(1),sl(1|2n)^(2) and osp(2|2n)^(2). We develop vertex operator constructions for the level 1…
We begin a systematic study of unitary representations of minimal $W$-algebras. In particular, we classify unitary minimal $W$-algebras and make substantial progress in classification of their unitary irreducible highest weight modules. We…
Block type Lie algebras have been studied by many authors in the latest twenty years. In this paper, we will study a class of more general Block type Lie algebra $\mathcal{B}(p,q)$, which is a class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebra by…
We study the representations of some simple affine vertex algebras at non-admissible level arising from rank one 4D SCFTs. In particular, we classify the irreducible highest weight modules of $L_{-2}(G_2)$ and $L_{-2}(B_3)$. It is known by…
In this paper we construct a class of new irreducible modules over untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebras $\widetilde{\mathfrak{g}}$, generalizing and including both highest weight modules and Whittaker modules. These modules allow us to…
Let $\fg$ be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebra with the standard Cartan subalgebra $\fh$ and the Weyl group $W$. Let $P_+$ be the set of dominant integral weights. For $\lambda \in P_+$, let $L(\lambda)$ be the irreducible, integrable,…
We consider the problem of decomposing tensor powers of the fundamental level 1 highest weight representation $V$ of the affine Kac-Moody algebra $\g(E_9)$. We describe an elementary algorithm for determining the decomposition of the…
We show that the Weyl-Kac type character formula holds for the integrable highest weight modules over the quantized enveloping algebra of any symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebra, when the parameter $q$ is not a root of unity.
We study the category of finite--dimensional bi--graded representations of toroidal current algebras associated to finite--dimensional complex simple Lie algebras. Using the theory of graded representations for current algebras, we…
We construct irreducible modules V_{\alpha}, \alpha \in \C over W_3 algebra with c = -2 in terms of a free bosonic field. We prove that these modules exhaust all the irreducible modules of W_3 algebra with c = -2. Highest weights of modules…
We construct Wakimoto modules for twisted affine Lie algebras, and interpret the construction in terms of vertex algebras and their twisted modules. Using the Wakimoto realization, we prove the Kac-Kazhdan conjecture on the characters of…
The Weyl-Kac character formula gives a beautiful closed-form expression for the characters of integrable highest-weight modules of Kac-Moody algebras. It is not, however, a formula that is combinatorial in nature, obscuring positivity. In…
We study constraints imposed by four-dimensional unitarity (formalised as graded unitarity in recent work by the first author) on possible ${\mathcal W}_3$ vertex algebras arising from four-dimensions via the SCFT/VOA correspondence. Under…
The properties of the quantum Minkowski space algebra are discussed. Its irreducible representations with highest weight vectors are constructed and relations to other quantum algebras: $su_{q}(2)$, $q$-oscillator, $q$-sphere are pointed…
The main purpose of this work is to review the results obtained recently concerning the unitarization of highest weight representations for affine Kac-Moody algebras following the work of Jakobsen and Kac.
We present and prove the Weyl-Kac type character formula for the irreducible highest weight modules over Borcherds-Bozec superalgebras with dominant integral highest weights.
