Automorphic Lie algebras and modular forms

We introduce and study certain hyperbolic versions of automorphic Lie algebras related to the modular group. Let Γ be a finite index subgroup of SL(2,Z) with an action on a complex simple Lie algebra g⁠, which can be extended to SL(2,C)⁠. We show that the Lie algebra of the corresponding g-valued mo...

description We introduce and study certain hyperbolic versions of automorphic Lie algebras related to the modular group. Let Γ be a finite index subgroup of SL(2,Z) with an action on a complex simple Lie algebra g⁠, which can be extended to SL(2,C)⁠. We show that the Lie algebra of the corresponding g-valued modular forms is isomorphic to the extension of g  over the usual modular forms. This establishes a modular analogue of a well-known result by Kac on twisted loop algebras. The case of principal congruence subgroups Γ(N),N≤6⁠, is considered in more detail in relation to the classical results of Klein and Fricke and the celebrated Markov Diophantine equation. We finish with a brief discussion of the extensions and representations of these Lie algebras. [See full text paper for actual mathematical formulae.]
