Abstract/Résumé:

We study the infinite wedge representation and show how it is related to the universal central extension of \(g[t,t^{-1}]\), the loop algebra of a complex semi-simple Lie algebra \(g\). We also give an elementary proof of the boson-fermion correspondence. Our approach to proving this result is based on a combinatorial construction combined with an application of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule.

Nous étudions l’algèbre extérieure en dimension infinie et montrons comment elle est reliée à l’extension centrale universelle de \(g[t,\!t^{-1}]\), l’algèbre de lacets sur une algèbre de Lie \(g\) semi-simple complexe. De plus, nous donnons une preuve élémentaire de la correspondance boson-fermion. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons une construction combinatoire, ainsi que la règle de Murnaghan-Nakayama.
