  Article: Differential conformal superalgebras and their forms

  Victor Kac, Michael Lau, Arturo Pianzola
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: We introduce the formalism of differential conformal superalgebras, which we show leads to the “correct” automorphism group functor and accompanying descent theory in the conformal setting. As an application, we classify forms of N=2 and N=4 conformal superalgebras by means of Galois cohomology.

  Article: Irreducible modules for extended affine Lie algebras

  Yuly Billig, Michael Lau
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: We construct irreducible modules for twisted toroidal Lie algebras and extended affine Lie algebras. This is done by combining the representation theory of untwisted toroidal algebras with the technique of thin coverings of modules. We illustrate our method with examples of extended affine Lie algebras of Clifford type.
