Trigonometric Lie algebras, affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras, and equivariant quasi modules for vertex algebras.

In this paper, we study a family of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras X ˆ S , where X stands for the type: A , B , C , D , and S is an abelian group, which generalize the A , B , C , D series of trigonometric Lie algebras. Among the main results, we identify X ˆ S with what are called the covariant algebras of the affine Lie algebra L S ˆ with respect to some automorphism groups, where L S is an explicitly defined associative algebra viewed as a Lie algebra. We then show that restricted X ˆ S -modules of level ℓ naturally correspond to equivariant quasi modules for affine vertex algebras related to L S. Furthermore, for any finite cyclic group S , we completely determine the structures of these four families of Lie algebras, showing that they are essentially affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras of certain types.
