Abstract

By considering the cohomology of the loop algebraL \(\mathcal{G}\), a representation ofL \(\mathcal{G}\) is constructed. the construction is based on a derivation δ ofL \(\mathcal{G}\) and a two-dimensional closed cochain ω ofl \(\mathcal{G}\) with coefficients in real numbersR 1. In the case of ω=0, the differential of the energy representation of the corresponding loop groupLG is derived.
