    Notes: The occurrence of a 3-cocycle in quantum mechanics or quantum field theory has been interpreted somewhat paradoxically as a breakdown of the Jacobi identity. The main result of this paper is that the 3-cocycle in chiral QCD arises as an obstruction which prevents the existence of a certain extension of one Lie algebra by another. This obstruction may be avoided by constructing a modified Lie algebra extension consisting of derivations on the algebra generated by the fields. However the 3-cocycle then appears when an attempt is made to implement these derivations by commutation with unbounded operators in the canonical equal-time formalism. Assuming the existence of these unbounded operators is what leads to the violation of the Jacobi identity. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract The Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation is studied from a point of view that is close to that of Segal and Wilson's work on KdV. The LL hierarchy is defined and shown to exist using a dressing transformation that involves parameters λ1, λ2, λ3 that live on an elliptic curve Σ. The crucial role of the groupK ≃ ℤ2 × ℤ2 of translations by the half-periods of Σ and its non-trivial central extension $$\tilde K$$ is brought out and an analogue of Birkhoff factorisation for $$\tilde K$$ -equivariant loops in Σ is given. This factorisation theorem is given two treatments, one in terms of the geometry of an infinite-dimensional Grassmannian, and the other in terms of the algebraic geometry of bundles over Σ. Further, a Ward-like transform between a class of holomorphic vector bundles on the total spaceZ of a line-bundle over Σ and solutions of LL is constructed. An appendix is devoted to a careful definition of the Grassmannian of the Frechet spaceC ∞(S 1).

    Notes: Abstract We introduce a class of Riemann surfaces which possess a fixed point free involution and line bundles over these surfaces with which we can associate an infinite dimensional Clifford algebra. Acting by automorphisms of this algebra is a “gauge” group of meromorphic functions on the Riemann surface. There is a natural Fock representation of the Clifford algebra and an associated projective representation of this group of meromorphic functions in close analogy with the construction of the basic representation of Kac-Moody algebras via a Fock representation of the Fermion algebra. In the genus one case we find a form of vertex operator construction which allows us to prove a version of the Boson-Fermion correspondence. These results are motivated by the analysis of soliton solutions of the Landau-Lifshitz equation and are rather distinct from recent developments in quantum field theory on Riemann surfaces.

    Notes: Abstract We use the realisation of the universal bundle for the loop group as the path fibration of the group to investigate the string class, that is the obstruction to a loop group bundle lifting to a Kac-Moody group bundle. In the case that the loop group bundle is constructed by taking loops into a principal bundle we show that the classifying map is the holonomy around loops and give an explicit formula for the string class relating it to the Pontrjangin class of the principal bunble.

    Notes: Abstract The properties of “induced” (or multiplier) representations of groups which act in Hilbert spaces with a reproducing kernel are investigated. A resumé of earlier work is followed by a discussion of criteria for the irreducibility of such representations. The notions of reproducing kernel and positive definite spherical function are found to overlap. As a result, functional equations (analogous to those of Godement for spherical functions) are found for the reproducing kernel. The abstract theory is illustrated by certain discrete series representations of the conformal group and by their “limit points”. In particular the so-called ladder representations (which give rise to the conformal symmetry of zero mass particles) are analysed from this viewpoint.

    Notes: Abstract We consider two dimensional boson field theories with an interaction potentialV (φ). We show how to define a cut-off, renormalised Hamiltonian for a certain class of non-polynomialV (φ), which are defined via an integral transform. We formulate precisely a variational argument devised by Coleman, obtaining a constraint on the coupling constant of the theory with generalV (φ), and illustrate the argument with several examples.

    Notes: Abstract We show how to construct irreducible projective representations of the infinite dimensional Lie group Map (S 1, $$\mathbb{T}$$ ), by embedding it into the group of Bogoliubov automorphisms of the CAR. Using techniques of G. Segal for extending certain representations of Map (S 1, SU(2)) we show that our representations extend to give representations of a certain infinite dimensional superalgebra. We relate our work to the well known boson-fermion correspondence which exists in 1+1 dimensions.

    Notes: Abstract We present a simple solution to the problem of proving positivity of Klaiber'sn-point functions for the massless Thirring model. The corresponding fields are obtained as strong limits of explicitly given approximate fields, obviating reconstruction. By invoking recent results on the boson-fermion correspondence it is shown how the model can be formulated on the charged fermion Fock space. It is pointed out that the question of cyclicity of the vacuum is open, and that an affirmative answer is necessary to confirm the superselection sector picture of the model.
