Hamiltonian reduction of Kac-Moody algebras
Description
Feigin-Fucks construction provides us methods to treat rational conformal theories in terms of free fields. This formulation enables us to describe partition functions and correlation functions in the Fock space of free fields. There are several attempt extending to supersymmetric theories. In this report authors present an explicit calculation of the Hamiltonian reduction based on the free field realization. In spite of the results being well-known, the relations can be clearly understood in the language of bosons. Authors perform the hamiltonian reduction by imposing a constraint with appropriate gauge transformations which preserve the constraint. This approaches enables us to gives the geometric interpretation of super Virasoro algebras and relations of the super gravity. In addition, author discuss the properties of quantum groups by using the explicit form of the group element. It is also interesting to extend to super Kac-Moody algebras. (M.N.)
