Kac--Moody Lie algebras where simultaneously introduced by Kac and Moody in the 1960’s. They naturally generalise finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebras. This generalisation, appart from its own interest, has shown many applications in the finite-dimensional setting. We will deal with the following material during the lectures.
- Quick review on the classification of semisimple Lie algebras and Serre’s presentation theorem.
- Construction of Kac-Moody Lie algebras and thier classification.
- Affine Lie algebras.
- Affine reflection groups.
