Report

In this paper the author propose a generalised Kac-Moody algebras based on the spaces of differentiable maps from compact manifolds to compact Lie groups. This implies generating the corresponding generalized Kac-Moody algebras. In particular these results can apply in the context of Kaluza-Klein compactifications of higher dimensional spaces naturally appearing in the context of supergravity and string theory.

Though the analysis of this class of compactification is far from being complete, in this article, the contribution is valuable for future developments, including mathematical formalization and physical applications.

The paper is well written and clear.

For these reasons I recommend the publication of this article.
