АннотацияThe key role in the derivation of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations in the W ZW -theory is played by the energy-momentum tensor, that is constructed from a central Casimir element of the second order in a universal enveloping algebra of a corresponding Lie algebra. In the paper a possibility of construction of analogs of Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations using higher order central elements is investigated. The Gelfand elements of the third order for a simple Lie algebra of series A and Capelli elements of the fourth order for the a simple Lie algebra of series B, D are considered. In the first case the construction is not possible a the second case the desired equation is derived.(68) From here one gets (P f F J ) m P f F I = 0, m > 2.(69)
