Geometric realizations of affine Kac-Moody algebras (Q2414540)

Basing on a motivation within the geometric representation theory of generalized flag manifolds related to finite-dimensional semisimple Lie groups, the authors intend and succeed to provide a uniform construction for free field realizations involving the generalized imaginary Verma modules for arbitrary affine Kac-Moody algebras. The two main results of the paper are the detailed geometric realization of affine Kac-Moody algebras and the isomorphism between this realization and the corresponding generalized imaginary Verma module. On the one hand, this constitutes a kind of unified approach to special constructions previously appeared in the literature, The procedure however provides a large new class of irreducible modules for affine Kac-Moody algebras. These can be interpreted as an analogue of the localization method of representations. The paper offers new and potentially fruitful ideas regarding a more systematized approach to the theory of affine Kac-Moody algebras.
