Beyond CFT : Deformed Virasoro and Elliptic Algebras
Abstract
Description
In this lecture we discuss `beyond CFT' from symmetry point of view. After reviewing the Virasoro algebra, we introduce deformed Virasoro algebras and elliptic algebras. These algebras appear in solvable lattice models and we study them by free field approach.
