Even though this is well-known in the context of standard mathematical physics literature, the operator product expansion of the energy-momentum tensor in two-dimensional conformal field theory is presented almost axiomatically. In this paper, we attempt to reformulate it with the help of a suitable modification of conformal algebra (as developed by V. Kac), and apply it to compute the representative element of the cohomology class which gives the desired central extension. This paper was written in the scope of an undergraduate’s exploration of conformal field theory and to gain insight on the subject from a mathematical perspective.展开更多
Let g = W1 be the Witt algebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p 〉 3, and let ∮（g） = {（x,y） ∈ g×g [x,y] = 0} be the commuting variety of g.

In contrast with the case of classical Lie algebras of P. Levy [J. Algebra, 2002, 250： 473-484], we show that the variety ∮（g） is reducible, and not equidimensional. Irreducible components of ∮（g） and their dimensions are precisely given. As a consequence, the variety ∮（g） is not normal.展开更多

Let N be the nilpotent cone of g. An explicit description of N is given, so that the conjugacy classes of Borel subalgebras of g under the automorphism group of g are determined. In contrast with only one conjugacy class of Borel subalgebras in a classical simple Lie algebra, there are two conjugacy classes of Borel subalgebras in g. The representatives of conjugacy classes of Borel subalgebras, i.e.,the so-called standard Borel subalgebras, are precisely given.展开更多

The set of the equivalent classes of crossed modules is proved to be a vector space, which is isomorphic with the homogeneous components of degree zero of the third cohomology group of Lie color algebras. As an application of this theory, the crossed modules of Witt type Lie color algebras is described, and the result is proved that there is only one equivalent class of the crossed modules of Witt type Lie color algebras when the abelian group Г is equal to Г＋. Finally, for a Witt type Lie color algebra, the classification of its crossed modules is obtained by the isomorphism between the third cohomology group and the crossed modules.展开更多
