Description

Novel infinite-dimensional algebras of the Virosoro/Kac-Moody/Floratos-Iliopoulos type are introduced, which involve trigonometric functions in their structure constants. They are then supersymmetrized, and relevant features of them are explored. An associated ''lazy tongs'' formulation of the SU(2) Kac-Moody algebra is also given. (orig.)
