Γ-conformal algebra is an axiomatic description of the operator product expansion of chiral fields with simple poles at finitely many points. We classify these algebras and their representations in terms of Lie algebras and their representations with an action of the group Γ. To every Γ-conformal algebra and a character of Γ we associate a Lie algebra generated by fields with the OPE with simple poles. Examples include twisted affine Kac–Moody algebras, the sin algebra (which is a “Γ-conformal…

Cohomology of Conformal Algebras
Abstract:The notion of a conformal algebra encodes an axiomatic description of the operator product expansion of chiral fields in conformal field theory. On the other hand, it is an adequate tool for…
Graded Associative Conformal Algebras of Finite Type
In this paper, we consider graded associative conformal algebras. The class of these objects includes pseudo-algebras over non-cocommutative Hopf algebras of regular functions on some linear…

Simple Associative Γ-Conformal Algebras of Finite Type for a Torsion-Free Group Γ
We study Γ-conformal algebras which are a discrete analog of conformal algebras in the sense of V. G. Kac. For a torsion-free group Γ, simple and semisimple associative Γ- conformal algebras of…

TLDR
In the case of the quantum affine algebra of type A, this work introduces vertex operators corresponding to all the roots and determine their commutation relations, which provides an analogue of a Chevalley basis of the affine Lie algebra [unk](n) in the basic representation.
Extensions and contractions of the Lie algebra of q-pseudodifferential symbols
We construct cocycles on the Lie algebra of pseudo- and q-pseudodifferential symbols of one variable and on their close relatives: the sine-algebra and the Poisson algebra on two-torus. A ``quantum''…
