Course description and aims
The course description:
We explain the representation theory of vertex algebras and infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and then introduce recent advances in the representation theory of affine vertex algebras.
The aims:
The theories of vertex algebras and infinite-dimensional Lie algebras are related to various fields in mathematics and physics such as the theory of modular forms, tensor categories, quantum groups, combinatorics, quantum field theory and others. In this lecture, we introduce the representation theory of vertex algebras associated to affine Lie algebras (affine vertex algebras) and then explain the relationship between affine Lie algebras, vertex algebras, modular forms, quantum groups and others. We will not explain details of the proofs of the propositions but mainly explain the propositions based on concrete examples.
Student learning outcomes
・Understand the definitions of vertex algebras and affine Lie algebras. Be able to use generators to calculate the structure of examples of algebras and representations.
・Understand the relationship between the representation theories of affine Lie algebras and affine vertex algebras.
・Understand the relation between the theories of vertex algebras and modular forms.
Keywords
