An affine Kac–Moody algebra is a central extension of the Lie algebra of smooth mappings from S1 to the complexification of a Lie algebra. In this paper, we shall introduce a central extension of the Lie algebra of smooth mappings from S3 to the quaternization of a Lie algebra and investigate its root space decomposition. We think this extension of current algebra might give a mathematical tool for four-dimensional conformal field theory as Kac–Moody algebras give it for two-dimensional conformal field theory.

We study the derivations, the central extensions and the automorphism group of the extended Schrödinger–Virasoro Lie algebra [Formula: see text], introduced by Unterberger in the context of two-dimensional conformal field theory and statistical physics. Moreover, we show that [Formula: see text] is an infinite-dimensional complete Lie algebra, and the universal central extension of [Formula: see text] in the category of Leibniz algebras is the same as that in the category of Lie algebras.

We discuss a continuous extension of the Sugawara construction in two-dimensional conformal field theory proposed earlier. The extension which is built on the SL (2)4 Kač-Moody algebra is shown to describe the standard c=1 series corresponding to a free bosonic field defined on a circle. The radius of the circle as a function of the continuous parameter existing in the model is found. We also present a continuous Sugawara series referring to SL (3)4. The latter is closely related to the case of SL (2)4.

Abstract We consider symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy in AdS3/CFT2 coupled to U(1) Chern-Simons theory. We identify the holographic dual of the charged moments in the two-dimensional conformal field theory as a charged Wilson line in the bulk of AdS3, namely the Ryu-Takayanagi geodesic minimally coupled to the U(1) Chern-Simons gauge field. We identify the holonomy around the Wilson line as the Aharonov-Bohm phases which, in the two-dimensional field theory, are generated by charged U(1) vertex operators inserted at the endpoints of the entangling interval. Furthermore, we devise a new method to calculate the symmetry resolved entanglement entropy by relating the generating function for the charged moments to the amount of charge in the entangling subregion. We calculate the subregion charge from the U(1) Chern-Simons gauge field sourced by the bulk Wilson line. We use our method to derive the symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy for Poincaré patch and global AdS3, as well as for the conical defect geometries. In all three cases, the symmetry resolved entanglement entropy is determined by the length of the Ryu-Takayanagi geodesic and the Chern-Simons level k, and fulfills equipartition of entanglement. The asymptotic symmetry algebra of the bulk theory is of $$ \hat{\mathfrak{u}}{(1)}_k $$ u ̂ 1 k Kac-Moody type. Employing the $$ \hat{\mathfrak{u}}{(1)}_k $$ u ̂ 1 k Kac-Moody symmetry, we confirm our holographic results by a calculation in the dual conformal field theory.

Extremal Black Holes

We consider Kerr–Newman–AdS–dS black holes near extremality and work out the near-horizon geometry of these near-extremal black holes. We identify the exact U (1)L× U (1)R isometries of the near-horizon geometry and provide boundary conditions enhancing them to a pair of commuting Virasoro algebras. The conserved charges of the corresponding asymptotic symmetries are found to be well-defined and nonvanishing and to yield central charges cL≠0 and cR = 0. The Cardy formula subsequently reproduces the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy of the black hole. This suggests that the near-extremal Kerr–Newman–AdS–dS black hole is holographically dual to a non-chiral two-dimensional conformal field theory.

General Aspects

This is a two-part course about the integrability of two-dimensional non-linear sigma models (2D NLSM). In the first part general aspects of classical integrability are discussed, based on the O(3) and O(4) sigma-models and the field theories related to them. The second part is devoted to the quantum 2D NLSM. Among the topics considered are: basic facts of conformal field theory, zero-curvature representations, integrals of motion, one-loop renormalizability of 2D NLSM, integrable structures in the so-called cigar and sausage models, and their RG flows. The text contains a large number of exercises of varying levels of difficulty.
