Mathematical Sciences: Kac-Moody Lie Algebras and Physics Conference

这次关于Kac-Moody代数的会议将于1988年12月13日至17日在北卡罗来纳州立大学举行。它面向该领域的专家以及数学和数学物理相关领域的研究人员。这次会议的性质是部分说明性的，Kac教授和Moody教授就Kac-Moody代数的数学方面进行了一系列讲座。此外，David Olive将讲授Kac-Moody代数的物理应用，其他参与者将进行技术讲座。Kac-Moody代数理论始于20年前Kac和Moody的开创性工作，与数学的不同领域有联系，包括数论、组合学、拓扑学、完全积分系统和粒子物理。

This conference on Kac-Moody algebras will be held December 13 - 17, 1988 at North Carolina State University. It is for experts in the field as well as researchers in related areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. The conference is partly expository in nature, with Professors Kac and Moody giving a series of lectures on the mathematical aspects of Kac-Moody algebras. In addition, David Olive will lecture on the physical application of Kac-Moody algebras, and there will be technical lectures by other participants. The theory of Kac-Moody algebras began twenty years ago with the seminal work of Kac and Moody, and has connections with diverse areas of mathematics, including number theory, combinatorics, topology, completely integral systems, and particle physics.
