We suggest a purely algebraic construction of the spin representation of an infinite-dimensional orthogonal Lie algebra (sections 1 and 2) and a corresponding group (section 4). From this we deduce a construction of all level-one highest-weight representations of orthogonal affine Lie algebras in terms of creation and annihilation operators on an infinite-dimensional Grassmann algebra (section 3). We also give a similar construction of the level-one representations of the general linear affine Lie algebra in an infinite-dimensional "wedge space." Along these lines we construct the corresponding representations of the universal central extension of the group SL(n)(k[t,t(-1)]) in spaces of sections of line bundles over infinite-dimensional homogeneous spaces (section 5).
