Algebra seminar - Tuan Pham
14:00 - 15:00 18 March 2025
Title: The orbit method for the Virasoro algebra Abstract: Let W = C[t, t^{-1}]\del_t be the Witt algebra of algebraic vector fields on C* and let Vir be the Virasoro algebra, the unique nontrivial central extension of W. In [Petukhov, Sierra 2022], it was shown that Poisson primitive ideals of S(W)...
