Twisted vertex operators and unitary Lie algebras
arXiv:1403.4571 · doi:10.4153/CJM-2014-010-1
Abstract
A representation of the central extension of the unitary Lie algebra coordinated with a skew Laurent polynomial ring is constructed using vertex operators over an integral Z_2-lattice. The irreducible decomposition of the representation is explicitly computed and described. As a by-product, some fundamental representations of affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra of type are recovered by the new method.
