Abstract

A representation of the central extension of the unitary Lie algebra coordinated with a skew Laurent polynomial ring is constructed using vertex operators over an integral ${{\mathbb{Z}}_{2}}$-lattice. The irreducible decomposition of the representation is explicitly computed and described. As a by-product, some fundamental representations of affine Kac–Moody Lie algebra of type $A_{n}^{\left( 2 \right)}$ are recovered by the new method.
