Vertex operators #
In this file we introduce heterogeneous vertex operators using Hahn series. When R = ℂ
, V = W
,
and Γ = ℤ
, then this is the usual notion of "meromorphic left-moving 2D field". The notion we use
here allows us to consider composites and scalar-multiply by multivariable Laurent series.
Definitions #
HVertexOperator
: AnR
-linear map from anR
-moduleV
toHahnModule Γ W
.- The coefficient function as an
R
-linear map. - Composition of heterogeneous vertex operators - values are Hahn series on lex order product.
Main results #
- Ext
TODO #
HahnSeries Γ R
-module structure onHVertexOperator Γ R V W
(needs PR#10846). This means we can consider products of the form(X-Y)^n A(X)B(Y)
for all integersn
, where(X-Y)^n
is expanded asX^n(1-Y/X)^n
inR((X))((Y))
.- curry for tensor product inputs
- more API to make ext comparisons easier.
- formal variable API, e.g., like the
T
function for Laurent polynomials.
