Description for Introduction to Vertex Operator Superalgebras and Their Modules (Mathematics and Its Applications)
Hardback. Presents a study on the structures of vertex operator superalgebras and their modules. This book includes related theories of self-dual codes and lattices, as well as achievements on classifications of certain simple vertex operator superalgebras and their irreducible twisted modules. Series: Mathematics and its Applications. Num Pages: 360 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 22. Weight in Grams: 708.
Vertex algebra was introduced by Boreherds, and the slightly revised notion "vertex oper- ator algebra" was formulated by Frenkel, Lepowsky and Meurman, in order to solve the problem of the moonshine representation of the Monster group - the largest sporadie group. On the one hand, vertex operator algebras ean be viewed as extensions of eertain infinite-dimensional Lie algebras such as affine Lie algebras and the Virasoro algebra. On the other hand, they are natural one-variable generalizations of commutative associative algebras with an identity element. In a certain sense, Lie algebras and commutative asso- ciative algebras are reconciled in vertex operator ... Read more
