Representations of the Fermion-Virasoro algebras

Abstract

Let $\delta=0$ or $\frac{1}{2}$. In this paper, we introduce the Fermion algebra $F(\delta)$ and the Fermion-Virasoro algebra $\mathcal S(\delta)$. They are infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras. All simple smooth $F(\delta)$-modules, all simple weight $F(\delta)$-modules, all simple smooth $\mathcal S(\delta)$-modules of nonzero level, and all simple Harish-Chandra $\mathcal S(\delta)$-modules are determined. Surprisingly, we have found four different $\mathcal S(\delta)$-module structures on free $\mathbb C[L_0]$-modules of rank $2$.
