Features: Kac-Moody algebras are a rapidly developing branch of modern mathematics and have important applications in theoretical physics, mechanics, and many branches of mathematics. This book provides a detailed discussion of the fundamental theory of Kac-Moody algebras and introduces some new achievements in Lie algebras from recent years at home and abroad. Reading this book requires only a foundation in linear algebra and finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebras.
