local equivalence of loop group representations

Let $G$ be a compact, simple, connected, simply connected (cscsc) Lie group, and let its smooth loop group $LG:=C^\infty(S^1,G)$. Given an interval $I\subset S^1$, we have the local loop group $$ L_IG ...

What is known about the connection of positive energy representations of loop groups and modular forms

At the end of Section 14.1 in Pressley, Segal "Loop Groups" there is the remark that the partition function is a modular function in the sense that the Dedekind $\eta$ function is a modular form. I ...

Geometric Satake and Restriction

The Geometric Satake correspondence (due to Lusztig, Ginzburg, Mirkovic-Vilonen) relates perverse sheaves on the Loop Group $\hat{G}$ (with their convolution product) to the Representations of the ...

Sheafification of loop scheme/group

Let $X$ be a scheme over $K = k((t))$, where $k$ is a field. We define the loop scheme $LX$ to be the functor from the category of $k$-algebras to sets by $R \mapsto LX(R) := X(Spec (R((t))))$. Do we ...

What do representations of infinite-dimensional Heisenberg groups look like?

I'm interested in an infinite dim'l Heisenberg group associated to the vector space $V = L\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{C}$ = {$f \colon S^1 \to \mathbb{C}$|$f$ smooth}/(const. maps). The group is $\mathbb{C}^\...
