Topics in Hidden Symmetries

Abstract

These three topics are an attempt to explicate some curiosities of the inverse problem of representation theory (i.e. having a set of operators to describe the "correct" algebraic object, which is represented by them) on simple examples related to the Lie algebra sl(2,C). Such consideration maybe regarded as toy one for analogous infinite dimensional problems in the modern quantum field theory (conformal field theory, integrable models, field theory in non-trivial backgrounds). Some constructions inspired by these topics and related to infinite dimensional hidden symmetries, which are produced by vertex operator fields, will be discussed in the forthcoming article.
