"This Proceedings contains the formal papers or abstracts presented by the 2nd UJNR Tsunami Workshop held at the East-West Center of the University of Hawaii at Manoa on November 5 and 6, 1990, and an abstraction of the discussions. The UJNR is the commonly use notation for the United States - Japan Natural Resources Development Program, a part of the US - Japan Cooperative Sciences Program. The UJNR organizes its work through some 17 panels, one of which, the Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects created in 1969, is concerned with tsunamis among many other topics. The annual Joint Meeting, essentially by government scientists, is too broad in scope to allow in-depth scientific exchanges on any single topic. This need is met in several ways: exchanging publications and information, scientific visits and topical workshops"--Introduction.
00 This practical treatise is an introduction to the mathematics and physics of affine Kac-Moody algebras. It is the result of an unusual interdisciplinary effort by two physicists and two mathematicians to make this field understandable to a broad readership and to illuminate the connections among seemingly disparate domains of mathematics and physics that are tantalizingly suggested by the ubiquity of Lie theory. The book will be useful to Lie algebraists, high energy physicists, statistical mechanics, and number theorists. Volume One contains a description of Kac-Moody Lie algebras, and especially the affine algebras and their representations; the results of extensive computations follow ...
