Classical Wakimoto Realizations of Chiral WZNW Bloch Waves

It is well-known that the chiral WZNW Bloch waves satisfy a quadratic classical exchange algebra which implies the affine Kac-Moody algebra for the corresponding currents. We here obtain a direct derivation of the exchange algebra by inverting the symplectic form on the space of Bloch waves, and give a completely algorithmic construction of its generalized free field realizations that extend the classical Wakimoto realizations of the current algebra.Comment: 13 pages, LaTe

Computational Methods for the Construction of a Class of Noetherian Operators

This paper presents some algorithmic techniques to compute explicitly the noetherian operators associated to a class of ideals and modules over a polynomial ring. The procedures we include in this work can be easily encoded in computer algebra packages such as CoCoA and Singular

Feynman-diagram evaluation in the electroweak theory with computer algebra

The evaluation of quantum corrections in the theory of the electroweak and strong interactions via higher-order Feynman diagrams requires complicated and laborious calculations, which however can be structured in a strictly algorithmic way. These calculations are ideally suited for the application of computer algebra systems, and computer algebra has proven to be a very valuable tool in this field already over several decades. It is sketched how computer algebra is presently applied in evaluating the predictions of the electroweak theory with high precision, and some recent results obtained in this way are summarized.Comment: 7 pages, updated version of proceedings contribution to ACAT 2000, Fermilab, October 200
