Dirac operators and the Very Strange Formula for Lie superalgebras
Using a super-affine version of Kostant's cubic Dirac operator, we prove a
very strange formula for quadratic finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras with a
reductive even subalgebra.Comment: Latex file, 25 pages. A few misprints corrected. To appear in the

Parafermionic Representation of the Affine Algebra at Fractional Level
The four fermionic currents of the affine superalgebra at
fractional level , u positive integer, are shown to be realised in
terms of a free scalar field, an doublet field and a primary field of
the parafermionic algebra .Comment: 5 pages, Latex 2
Admissible sl(2/1) Characters and Parafermions
The branching functions of the affine superalgebra characters into
characters of the affine subalgebra are calculated for fractional
levels , u positive integer. They involve rational torus
and parafermion characters.Comment: 14 pages, Latex 2
W_{1+\infty} and W(gl_N) with central charge N
We study representations of the central extension of the Lie algebra of
differential operators on the circle, the W-infinity algebra. We obtain
complete and specialized character formulas for a large class of
representations, which we call primitive; these include all quasi-finite
irreducible unitary representations. We show that any primitive representation
with central charge N has a canonical structure of an irreducible
representation of the W-algebra W(gl_N) with the same central charge and that
all irreducible representations of W(gl_N) with central charge N arise in this
way. We also establish a duality between "integral" modules of W(gl_N) and
finite-dimensional irreducible modules of gl_N, and conjecture their fusion
rules.Comment: 29 pages, Latex, uses file amssym.def (a few remarks added, typos

Fusion and singular vectors in A1{(1)} highest weight cyclic modules
We show how the interplay between the fusion formalism of conformal field
theory and the Knizhnik--Zamolodchikov equation leads to explicit formulae for
the singular vectors in the highest weight representations of A1{(1)}.Comment: 42 page
Statistics of the Number of Zero Crossings : from Random Polynomials to Diffusion Equation
We consider a class of real random polynomials, indexed by an integer d, of
large degree n and focus on the number of real roots of such random
polynomials. The probability that such polynomials have no real root in the
interval [0,1] decays as a power law n^{-\theta(d)} where \theta(d)>0 is the
exponent associated to the decay of the persistence probability for the
diffusion equation with random initial conditions in space dimension d. For n
even, the probability that such polynomials have no root on the full real axis
decays as n^{-2(\theta(d) + \theta(2))}. For d=1, this connection allows for a
physical realization of real random polynomials. We further show that the
probability that such polynomials have exactly k real roots in [0,1] has an
unusual scaling form given by n^{-\tilde \phi(k/\log n)} where \tilde \phi(x)
is a universal large deviation function.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures. Minor changes. Accepted version in Phys. Rev.

Rigorous Proof of a Liquid-Vapor Phase Transition in a Continuum Particle System
We consider particles in , interacting via attractive
pair and repulsive four-body potentials of the Kac type. Perturbing about mean
field theory, valid when the interaction range becomes infinite, we prove
rigorously the existence of a liquid-gas phase transition when the interaction
range is finite but long compared to the interparticle spacing.Comment: 11 pages, in ReVTeX, e-mail addresses: [email protected],

Restricted infinitesimal deformations of restricted simple Lie algebras
