The top non-vanishing Chern classes of the cohomology of these complexes yield actions of the r-colored Heisenberg and Clifford algebras on the equivariant cohomology of the moduli spaces. In this way we obtain a geometric realization of the boson-fermion correspondence and related vertex operators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-11-19T22:12:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14C05", "17B69" ], "keywords": [ "moduli spaces", "framed torsion-free sheaves", "complexes yield actions", "define complexes", "geometric realization" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 36, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0809.4010L" } } }
