Book Description
Let M be a smooth manifold and G a Lie group. In this book we shall study infinite-dimensional Lie algebras associated both to the group Map(M, G) of smooth mappings from M to G and to the group of dif feomorphisms of M. In the former case the Lie algebra of the group is the algebra Mg of smooth mappings from M to the Lie algebra gof G. In the latter case the Lie algebra is the algebra Vect M of smooth vector fields on M. However, it turns out that in many applications to field theory and statistical physics one must deal with certain extensions of the above mentioned Lie algebras. In the simplest case M is the unit circle SI, G is a simple finite dimensional Lie group and the central extension of Map( SI, g) is an affine Kac-Moody algebra. The highest weight theory of finite dimensional Lie algebras can be extended to the case of an affine Lie algebra. The important point is that Map(Sl, g) can be split to positive and negative Fourier modes and the finite-dimensional piece g corre sponding to the zero mode.

Book Description
Algebra has moved well beyond the topics discussed in standard undergraduate texts on 'modern algebra'. Those books typically dealt with algebraic structures such as groups, rings and fields: still very important concepts! However Quantum Groups: A Path to Current Algebra is written for the reader at ease with at least one such structure and keen to learn algebraic concepts and techniques. A key to understanding these new developments is categorical duality. A quantum group is a vector space with structure. Part of the structure is standard: a multiplication making it an 'algebra'. Another part is not in those standard books at all: a comultiplication, which is dual to multiplication in the precise sense of category theory, making it a 'coalgebra'. While coalgebras, bialgebras and Hopf algebras have been around for half a century, the term 'quantum group', along with revolutionary new examples, was launched by Drinfel'd in 1986.

Book Description
This volume collects chapters that examine representation theory as connected with affine Lie algebras and their quantum analogues, in celebration of the impact Vyjayanthi Chari has had on this area. The opening chapters are based on mini-courses given at the conference “Interactions of Quantum Affine Algebras with Cluster Algebras, Current Algebras and Categorification”, held on the occasion of Chari’s 60th birthday at the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., June 2018. The chapters that follow present a broad view of the area, featuring surveys, original research, and an overview of Vyjayanthi Chari’s significant contributions. Written by distinguished experts in representation theory, a range of topics are covered, including: String diagrams and categorification Quantum affine algebras and cluster algebras Steinberg groups for Jordan pairs Dynamical quantum determinants and Pfaffians Interactions of Quantum Affine Algebras with Cluster Algebras, Current Algebras and Categorification will be an ideal resource for researchers in the fields of representation theory and mathematical physics.

Book Description
This is an introduction to the theory of affine Lie Algebras, to the theory of quantum groups, and to the interrelationships between these two fields that are encountered in conformal field theory.

Book Description
International Series of Monographs in Natural Philosophy, Volume 12: Current Algebras and their Applications provides an introduction to the underlying philosophy and to the technical methods associated with the use of the Current Algebra for the investigation of questions in elementary particle physics. This text contains 10 chapters and begins with the preliminary concepts and basic ideas of current algebras. The next chapters deal with the approximate symmetry and the dispersion theory of current algebras, as well as the current algebra sum rules with PCAC. These topics are followed by reviews of the principles of the low-energy theorems, the Schwinger terms, and the features of the dispersion theory. The last chapter examines the possible connections of current algebras and dynamics. This book will prove useful to mathematicians, physicists, teachers, and students.
