Why is the dimension of the cartan subalgebra $2n-\text{rank}(A)$ in the defintion from Kumar's book. From a few examples I can see why the defintion is the way it is, but, I would like a better under …

For brevity, let $LG=\mathbb{T}\ltimes \tilde{L}G$, the affine loop group and let $G$ be a simple simply conneceted Lie group. I have a map $\phi:L\mathfrak{g} \to L\mathfrak{g}$ that is equivariant. …

Let $R_G$ be the representation ring of $G$ a connected, simply connected Lie group, $I_G$ the augmentation ideal and $\mathbb{Z}=R_G/I_G$. $R_G$ acts on $\mathbb{Z}$ via $V \cdot n = (\dim V ) n$. I …

If I have a Lie group (or a Kac-Moody group) $G$ such that it's the amalgated product of it's proper parabolic subgroups $P_J$, i.e. $G = \text{colim} P_J$, then could I use this to compute the equiva …

Let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$ with Lie algebras $\mathfrak{h}$ and $\mathfrak{g}$ respectively. If I have 2 representations $V, W$ of $\mathfrak{h}$ equipped with a $\mathfrak{h}$ invariant inner prod …

I am trying to figure out representations of loop groups in order to understand conformal blocks. I am currently trying to figure out are the weight spaces of a representation with a given lowest weig …
