Vertex operators and Jordan fields

  • 1. Instituto de Fisica Teorica, Sao Paulo (Brazil)

Description

The construction of Lie algebras in terms of Jordan algebra generators is discussed. The key to the construction is the triality relation already incorporated into matrix products. A generalisation to Kac-Moody algebras in terms of vertex operators is proposed and may provide a clue for the construction of new representations of Kac-Moody algebras in terms of Jordan fields.
