Vertex Operator Algebras in Mathematics and Physics
Vertex operator algebras are a class of algebras underlying a number of recent constructions, results, and themes in mathematics. These algebras can be understood as ''string-theoretic analogues'' of Lie algebras and of commutative associative algebras. They play fundamental roles in some of the most active research areas in mathematics and physics. Much recent progress in both physics and mathematics has benefited from cross-pollination between the physical and mathematical points of view. This book presents the proceedings from the workshop, ''Vertex Operator Algebras in Mathematics and Physics'', held at The Fields Institute. It consists of papers based on many of the talks given at the conference by leading experts in the algebraic, geometric, and physical aspects of vertex operator algebra theory. The book is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in the major themes and important developments on the frontier of research in vertex operator algebra theory and its applications in mathematics and physics.
Enveloping Algebras
This is an English edition of Dixmier's book, which is the first systematic exposition of the algebraic approach to representations of Lie groups via representations of (or modules over) the corresponding universal enveloping algebras, turned out to be so well written that even today it remains one of the main textbooks and reference books on the subject. In 1992, Dixmier was awarded the Leroy P. Steele prize for expository writing in mathematics. The Committee's citation described this as one of Dixmier's "extraordinary books". Written with unique precision and elegance, the book provides the reader with insight and understanding of this very important subject. It can be an excellent textbook for a graduate course, as well as a very useful source of references in the theory of universal enveloping algebras, the area of mathematics that remains as important today as it was 20 years ago. For the 1996 edition the author updated the status of open problems and added some relevant references.
Vertex Algebras and Geometry
This book contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Vertex Algebras and Geometry, held from October 8–9, 2016, and the mini-conference on Vertex Algebras, held from October 10–11, 2016, in Denver, Colorado. The papers cover vertex algebras in connection with geometry and tensor categories, with topics in vertex rings, chiral algebroids, the Higgs branch conjecture, and applicability and use of vertex tensor categories.

Moonshine, the Monster, and Related Topics
This is the proceedings of a Joint Summer Research Conference held at Mount Holyoke College in Jun 1994. As perhaps the first conference proceedings devoted exclusively to the subject known as "Moonshine", this work contains something for many mathematicians and physicists. Many of the results featured are not available elsewhere.
Vertex Operator Algebras and Related Areas
Vertex operator algebras were introduced to mathematics in the work of Richard Borcherds, Igor Frenkel, James Lepowsky and Arne Meurman as a mathematically rigorous formulation of chiral algebras of two-dimensional conformal field theory. The aim was to use vertex operator algebras to explain and prove the remarkable Monstrous Moonshine conjectures in group theory. The theory of vertex operator algebras has now grown into a major research area in mathematics. These proceedings contain expository lectures and research papers presented during the international conference on Vertex Operator Algebras and Related Areas, held at Illinois State University in Normal, IL, from July 7 to July 11, 2008...
Symmetries, Lie Algebras and Representations
This book gives an introduction to Lie algebras and their representations. Lie algebras have many applications in mathematics and physics, and any physicist or applied mathematician must nowadays be well acquainted with them.
Lie Algebras and Related Topics
Discusses the problem of determining the finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>7$. This book includes topics such as Lie algebras of prime characteristic, algebraic groups, combinatorics and representation theory, and Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras.
