| Abstract: |
For each simple Lie algebra g and complex number k, an infinite dimensional algebra called W algebra, W_k(g) were defined and has been studied by many physicists and mathematicians. They have very complicated algebraic structure and are discussed by the language of Vertex operator algebras (V.O.A.). When g is sl_2(C), it gives the Virasoro algebra. Recently the representation theory of these algebras are interested by many mathematicians and physicists. I have been studied in the case of k= p_-/p_+ positive rational level, and g is of type A.D.E. Quite recently I got concrete results. In these cases I found that these V.O.A. W_k(g) can be extended in a larger V.O.A. M_{p_+,p_-}(g). They are defined by compactified free bosono and screening operators. These V.O.A. M_{p_+,p_-}(g) has very nice structure and can be concretely analyzed. In this talk, I will give their fundamental properties (some are conjectures). |
