Fock Representations of Lie Algebras, Loop Algebras and Affine Lie Algebras

Explicit Fock representations of the classical Lie algebras in terms of boson creation and annihilation operators with an arbitrary highest weight are derived, and a general rule to construct Fock representations of a loop algebra from a boson realization of its corresponding Lie algebra is established. A new kind of lowest weight representations of the affine Lie algebras attached to the classical Lie algebras, which require a zero center, is also presented. Based on these, a simple affinization procedure is given to obtain the Fock representations of level 1 of these affine Lie algebras.
