We use localization technique to construct new families of irreducible modules of affine Kac-Moody algebras. In particular, localization is applied to the first free field realization of the affine Lie algebra A_1^{(1)} or, equivalently, to imaginary Verma modules.
We provide formulas for computing the cocycles on a 3-point Witt algebra Der(R), using an isomorphism between two 3-point algebras Der(R) and Der(S), where the cocycle is already defined. These cocycles can be used to construct universal central extensions and the 3-point Virasoro, which are useful for the representation theory of a 3-point current algebra. The computations determining the cocycles on Der(R) involve elegant applications of the Chu-Vandermonde convolution and other identities for sums of binomial coefficients.
