Manifolds of smooth maps IV : theorem of De Rham
Motivated by the two dimensional conformal field theory with gauge symmetry, we shall study the monodromy of the integrable connections associated with the simple Lie algebras. This gives a series of linear representations of the braid group whose explicit form is described by solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation.
Let be the class of all multiloop algebras of finite dimensional simple Lie algebras relative to -tuples of commuting finite order automorphisms. It is a classical result that is the class of all derived algebras modulo their centres of affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. This combined with the Peterson-Kac conjugacy theorem for affine algebras results in a classification of the algebras in . In this paper, we classify the algebras in , and further determine the relationship between and two...
