We review recent progress in operator algebraic approach to conformal quantum field theory. Our emphasis is on use of representation theory in classification theory. This is based on a series of joint works with R. Longo.
We discuss a previously discovered [hep-th/9401027] extension of the infinite-dimensional Lie algebras Map(M,g) which generalizes the Kac-Moody algebras in 1+1 dimensions and the Mickelsson-Faddeev algebras in 3+1 dimensions to manifolds M…
In this paper we use the quantization of fields based on Geometric Langlands Correspondence \cite{diep1} to realize the automorphic representations of some concrete series of groups: for the affine Heisenberg (loop) groups it is reduced to…
The coset construction is the most important tool to construct rational conformal field theories with known chiral data. For some cosets at small level, so-called maverick cosets, the familiar analysis using selection and identification…
Symplectic resolutions are an exciting new frontier of research in representation theory. One of the most fascinating aspects of this study is symplectic duality: the observation that these resolutions come in pairs with matching…
The study of rational conformal field theories in the moduli space is of particular interest since these theories correspond to points in moduli space where the algebraic and arithmetic structure are usually richer, while also being points…
We formulate and solve a class of two-dimensional matrix gauge models describing ensembles of non-folding surfaces covering an oriented, discretized, two-dimensional manifold. We interpret the models as string theories characterized by a…
This paper introduces the notion of locally algebraic representations and corresponding sheaves in the context of the cohomology of arithmetic groups. These representations are of relevance for the study of integral structures and special…
We define and classify the analogues of the affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras for the ring corresponding to the complex projective line minus three points. The classification is given in terms of Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants. We also study…
We study character rings of quasireductive Lie superalgebras and give a new proof of the Sergeev-Veselov theorem describing the character rings of finite-dimensional Kac-Moody superalgebras.
In this lecture, we survey a number of recent results and developments regarding the representation theory of infinite-dimensional quantum groups (quantum affine algebras and related algebras), as well as their connections with cluster…
We show that the study of hidden conformal symmetry that associates to the Kerr/CFT correspondence can also apply to the cosmological horizon in Kerr-Newman-Taub-NUT-de Sitter spacetime. This symmetry allows one to employ some two…
The notion of a Lie conformal superalgebra encodes an axiomatic descrption of singular parts of the operator product expansions of chiral fields in conformal field theory. In the paper we give a detailed proof of the classification of all…
We initiate the representation theory of restricted Lie superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>2. A superalgebra generalization of the celebrated Kac-Weisfeiler Conjecture is formulated, which exhibits a…
In this paper we review the coset construction for winding subalgebras of affine Lie algebras. We classify all cosets of central charge $\hat c<1$ and calculate their branching rules. The corresponding character identities give certain…
As the theory is subject to a section condition, coordinates in double field theory do not represent physical points in an injective manner. We argue that a physical point should be rather one-to-one identified with a `gauge orbit' in the…
We introduce a new class of two dimensional conformal field theories by extending Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models to chiral algebras with matrix-valued levels. The new CFTs are based on holomorphic currents with an operator product…
Inspired by earlier works on representations of the Temperley-Lieb algebra we introduce a novel family of representations of the algebra. This may be seen as a generalization of the so called asymmetric twin representation. The underlying…
Recently we have started a program to describe the action of Lie algebras associated with Dynkin-type diagrams on generic Verma modules in terms of polynomial vector fields. In this paper we explain that the results for the classical ABCD…
We discuss some open problems in a program of constructing and studying two-dimensional conformal field theories using the representation theory of vertex operator algebras.
