Abstract:
We demonstrate a one to one correspondence between the irreducible projective representations of an affine Kac-Moody group and those of the related loop group, which leads to the results that every non-trivial representation of an affine Kac-Moody group must have its degree greater than or equal to the rank of the group and that the equivalence appears if and only if the group is of type $A_{n}^{(1)}$ for some $n\ge 1$. Moreover the characteristics of the base fields for the non-trivial representations are found being always zero.References
