摘要

We particularise the construction of generalised Kac-Moody algebras associated to compact real manifolds to the case of the two-torus \(\mathbb T_2\) and the two-sphere \({\mathbb S}^2\) . It is shown that these algebras, as well as a Virasoro algebra associated to the two-torus and the two-sphere, can also be derived considering the usual Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras.
