Abstract In this note we realise current algebra with anomalous terms in terms of a U(1) gauge theory, in the space of maps M, from S1 into a compact Lie group corresponding to the current algebra. The Wilson loop around a closed curve in M is shown to be the Wess-Zumino-Witten term. This discussion enables a simple understanding of the non-Abelian anomaly in the Schrödinger picture.

The Masses

The appearance of vorticity 01 twists in 2-dim. current algebra associated with a compact Lie group G can lead to the absence of some of the global symmetry generators of G and one expects the symmetry to be reduced to a smaller subgroup H of G. Contrary to expectations, all gauge bosons, including those of H become massive. This is because the zero point energy of the string is uniformly shifted upward affecting the masses of all particles by the same amount.

Finite Loop Space

Abstract Greenlees has conjectured that the rational stable equivariant homotopy category of a compact Lie group always has an algebraic model. Based on this idea, we show that the category of rational local systems on a connected finite loop space always has a simple algebraic model. When the loop space arises from a connected compact Lie group, this recovers a special case of a result of Pol and Williamson about rational cofree G-spectra. More generally, we show that if K is a closed subgroup of a compact Lie group G such that the Weyl group W G K is connected, then a certain category of rational G-spectra “at K” has an algebraic model. For example, when K is the trivial group, this is just the category of rational cofree G-spectra, and this recovers the aforementioned result. Throughout, we pay careful attention to the role of torsion and complete categories.

Equivariant Maps

Let G be a compact Lie group and V and W be linear G spaces. A study is made of the canonical stratification of some algebraic varieties that arise naturally in the theory of C∞ equivariant maps from V to W. The main corollary of our results is the equivalence of Bierstone's concept of “equivariant general position” with our own of “G transversal”. The paper concludes with a description of Bierstone's higher order conditions for equivariant maps in the framework of equisingularity sequences.

Multiplicative Structures

Let G be a simply connected, semi-simple, compact Lie group, let K* denote Z/2-graded, representable K-theory, and K* the corresponding homology theory. The K-theory of G and of its classifying space BG are well known, (8),(1). In contrast with ordinary cohomology, K*(G) and K*(BG) are torsion-free and have simple multiplicative structures. If ΩG denotes the space of loops on G, it seems natural to conjecture that K*(ΩG) should have, in some sense, a more simple structure than H*(ΩG).

We generalize the notions of the orbifold Euler characteristic and of the higher-order orbifold Euler characteristics to spaces with actions of a compact Lie group using integration with respect to the Euler characteristic instead of the summation over finite sets. We show that the equation for the generating series of the kth-order orbifold Euler characteristics of the Cartesian products of the space with the wreath products actions proved by Tamanoi for finite group actions and by Farsi and Seaton for compact Lie group actions with finite isotropy subgroups holds in this case as well.
