They are not contragredient, exhibiting an asymmetry between positive and negative levels. These superalgebras have been a focus of attention due to the fundamental role they play for extended geometry. In the present paper, we examine tensor hierarchy algebras which are super-extensions of hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras. They contain novel algebraic structures. Of particular interest is the extension of a hyperbolic algebra by its fundamental module, an extension that contains and generalises the extension of an affine Kac-Moody algebra by a Virasoro derivation $L_1$. A conjecture about the complete superalgebra is formulated, relating it to the corresponding Borcherds superalgebra.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-03-03T15:38:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hyperbolic kac-moody algebras", "tensor hierarchy extensions", "tensor hierarchy algebras", "contain novel algebraic structures", "affine kac-moody algebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 65, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
