Kac-Moody Lie algebras and related topics : Ramanujan International Symposium on Kac-Moody Lie Algebras and Applications, January 28-31, 2002, Ramanujan Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics, Un

Introduced independently by Victor Kac and Robert Moody around 1967, Kac-Moody Lie algebras "can be thought of as infinite dimension analogs of finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebras." Sixteen papers from the January 2002 symposium present new results in this growing field and related areas. Specific topics include fusion rules for affine Kac-M
