Description
The group N defined as the normalizer of the Cartan subalgebra in the group of all (inner and outer) automorphisms of affine Kac-Moody (KM) algebras is shown to play a fundamental role in the structure of these algebras. It is a (discrete) Galilean group which incorporates the affine and Weyl group structure of the KM algebra and the space-time structure of the bosonic string. It links the Virasoro and KM algebras in a non-trivial way and it plays a key role in the vertex construction
