Casimir elements and Sugawara operators for Takiff algebras
A. I. Molev
Abstract:For every simple Lie algebra g we consider the associated Takiff algebra g ℓ defined as the truncated polynomial current Lie algebra with coefficients in g. We use a matrix presentation of g ℓ to give a uniform construction of algebraically independent generators of the center of the universal enveloping algebra U(g ℓ ). A similar matrix presentation for the affine Kac-Moody algebra g ℓ is then used to prove an analogue of the Feigin-Frenkel theorem describing the center of the corresponding affine vertex alge… Show more
