There are three excellent books on it, written by Victor G. Kac. This book begins with a survey and review of the material treated in Kac's books. In particular, modular invariance and conformal invariance are explained in more detail. The book then goes further, dealing with some of the recent topics involving the representation theory of affine Lie algebras. Since these topics are important not only in themselves but also in their application to some areas of mathematics and mathematical physics, the book expounds them with examples and detailed calculations.Infinite-dimensional Lie algebraInfinite dimensional Lie algebrasLie algebrasInfinite dimensional Lie algebras.Lie algebras.512/.482Wakimoto Minoru1942-66934MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825441603321Lectures on infinite-dimensional Lie algebra1103903UNINA
