Associative conformal algebras of linear growth. (Q5936198): Difference between revisions

Kac introduced the notion of (Lie) conformal algebra as the local structure of a certain Lie algebra with one-variable structure. The conformal algebra is equivalent to the structure of positive modes of a vertex algebra. The author classifies finitely generated simple unital associative conformal algebras of linear growth. An associative conformal algebra is equivalent to what I called ``Gelfand-Dorfman operator algebra'' in my paper [Lett. Math. Phys. 33, No. 1, 1--6 (1995; Zbl 0837.16034)] where I proved that such an algebra is equivalent to an associative algebra with a derivation under a certain unital condition.
