Infinite dimensional Lie algebras

This is the third, substantially revised edition of this important monograph. The book is concerned with Kac–Moody algebras, a particular class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, and their representations. It is based on courses given over a number of years at MIT and in Paris, and is sufficiently self-contained and detailed to be used for graduate courses. Each chapter begins with a motivating discussion and ends with a collection of exercises, with hints to the more challenging problems.

המשפט הראשון: The central object of our study is a certain class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras alternatively known as contragredient Lie algebras, generalized Cartan matrix Lie algebras or Kac-Moody algebras.
