Nov 6, 2014 at 9:29 comment added Reimundo Heluani Somehow my take is that the geometric interpretation is pushing it a little. You are thinking on the "two-loop" algebras as maps from an elliptic curve, which is correct, however many serious representation theorists think of it as a map from $\mathbb{C}^* \times \mathbb{C}^*$ and in fact these toroidal algebras have been studied pretty intensively in many dimensions. People like Moody has several articles on the topic, the keyword is n-toroidal algebras.
