Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras on the two-sphere and the two-torus

Rutwig Campoamor-Stursberg, Michel Rausch de Traubenberg

Published 2024-06-15Version 1

We particularise the construction of generalised Kac-Moody algebras associated to compact real manifolds to the case of the two-torus $\mathbb T_2$ and the two-sphere ${\mathbb S}^2$. It is shown that these algebras, as well as a Virasoro algebra associated to the two-torus and the two-sphere, can also be derived considering the usual Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras.
