DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/RLRT23/7/">G
 eneralised vector fields</a>\nby Palmkvist Jakob (Orebro University\, Swed
 en) as part of Representations of Lie Superalgebras and Related Topics\n\n
 \nAbstract\nGiven any semisimple Kac-Moody algebra g\, any dominant integr
 al weight of g and any symmetric invariant bilinear form on g\, I will gen
 eralise the Lie superalgebra W(n) of formal vector fields on n odd coordin
 ates. The Lie superalgebra of generalised vector fields has a consistent Z
 -grading where a central extension of g generalises gl(n) at degree 0\, an
 d the irreducible module with the given highest weight is the subspace at 
 degree -1\, generalising the n-dimensional fundamental module of gl(n). Ma
 ny well known Lie superalgebras appear as special cases (possibly after im
 posing a restriction on the subspace at degree 1)\, but also new ones that
  have not been studied before. Under certain conditions\, they are isomorp
 hic to tensor hierarchy algebras\, which are defined from a Cartan matrix 
 by generators and relations. The tensor hierarchy algebras have been usefu
 l in the description of extended gravity theories in physics\, where ordin
 ary diffeomorphisms are generalised and unified with additional gauge tran
 sformations. The talk is based on collaborations with Martin Cederwall: 22
 07.12417 and work in progress.\n\nMeeting ID: 925 4420 8640 Passcode: 1230
