PS OP you tricked me into thinking I'll find out what a Zhu algebra is here. So tell.

Googling brings up W-algebras. is this related to W-types? Probably not, because Kac was involved and he seems too old and so I conclude it's closer to Lie-Algebras.

On that note, what's your favorite book on algebraic groups?

Yes, I think that's a quite good example to that effect.

As an aside, you could also have come up with the right conclusion by consider any matrix whatsoever. E.g. "The unit matrix is invertible, and the unit matrix has determinant one, so the invertible ones are the ones with nonzero determinant".

I took a course many years ago, but I don't think anybody is gonna make it in that field.

I'm following the nLab pyhsicist(s) relatively closely, but I want to use their framework for more general mechanics than string theory (less deep/fundamental but more practical theories)
