This book is an introduction into a new and fast developing field on the crossroads of infinite-dimensional Lie algebra theory, conformal field theory, and the theory of integrable systems. For beginners, it provides a short way to join in the investigations in these fields. For…
This book is a collection of a series of lectures given by Prof. V Kac at Tata Institute, India in Dec '85 and Jan '86. These lectures focus on the idea of a highest weight representation, which goes through four different incarnations. The first is the canonical commutation rel…

Krichever and Novikov introduced certain classes of infinite dimensionalLie algebrasto extend the Virasoro algebra and its related algebras to Riemann surfaces of higher genus. The author of this book generalized and extended them toa more general setting needed by the applicati…
