Motivated by families of formal moduli problems, in this note we generalize the notion of L-infinity space by allowing sheaves of L-infinity algebras over any (reasonable) nilpotent dg manifold. We discuss various examples including those…

Let $\mathscr{C}$ be a small category. For every commutative ring $R$ with unity, we associate an $R\mathrm{-linear}$ abelian category with the universal homotopy category of $\mathscr{C}$, where we can do the corresponding homological…

Using a homotopy introduced by de Wilde and Lecomte and homological perturbation theory for $A_\infty$-algebras, we give an explicit proof that the universal enveloping algebra $UL$ of a differential graded Lie algebra $L$ is Koszul, via an…

We show that there is an equivalence of categories between Lie-Rinehart algebras over a commutative algebra $\mathcal O $ and homotopy equivalence classes of negatively graded Lie $\infty $-algebroids over their resolutions (=acyclic Lie…

We explicitly construct an L$_\infty$ algebra that defines U$_{\star}(1)$ gauge transformations on a space with an arbitrary non-commutative and even non-associative star product. Matter fields are naturally incorporated in this scheme as…

This paper presents new generators for the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the symplectic Lie algebra. These generators are expressed in terms of the column-permanent, and it is easy to calculate their eigenvalues on…

We describe representations of certain superconformal algebras in the semi-infinite Weil complex related to the loop algebra of a complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra and in the semi-infinite cohomology. We show that in the case where the…

Associated to any manifold equipped with a closed form of degree >1 is an `L-infinity algebra of observables' which acts as a higher/homotopy analog of the Poisson algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold. In order to study Lie group…

We consider the Casimir Invariants related to some a special kind of Lie-algebra extensions, called universal extensions. We show that these invariants can be studied using the equivalence between the universal extensions and the…

There are theories of coverings of $C^*$-algebras which can be included into a following list: coverings of commutative $C^*$-algebras, coverings of $C^*$-algebras of groupoids and foliations, coverings of noncommutative tori, the double…

M. E. Sweedler first constructed a universal Hopf algebra of an algebra. It is known that the dual notions to the existing ones play a dominant role in Hopf algebra theory. Yu. I. Manin and D. Tambara introduced the dual notion of…

This article explores some simple examples of L-infinity algebras and the construction of miniversal deformations of these structures. Among other things, it is shown that there are two families of nonequivalent L-infinity structures on a…

We construct a generalised notion of Kac-Moody algebras using smooth maps from the non-compact manifolds ${\cal M}=$SL$(2,\mathbb R)$ and ${\cal M}=$ SL$(2,\mathbb R)/U(1)$ to a finite-dimensional simple Lie group $G$. This construction is…

We classify strongly homotopy Lie algebras - also called L-infinity algebras - of one even and two odd dimensions, which are related to $2|1$-dimensional $Z_2$-graded Lie algebras. What makes this case interesting is that there are many…

In this paper, we first construct the controlling algebras of embedding tensors and Lie-Leibniz triples, which turn out to be a graded Lie algebra and an $L_\infty$-algebra respectively. Then we introduce representations and cohomologies of…

We study the universal enveloping associative conformal algebra for the central extension of a current Lie conformal algebra at the locality level $N=3$. A standard basis of defining relations for this algebra is explicitly calculated. As a…

In previous work we showed that the contact category algebra of a quadrangulated surface is isomorphic to the homology of a strand algebra from bordered sutured Floer theory. Being isomorphic to the homology of a differential graded…

In this paper we focus on a certain self-distributive multiplication on coalgebras, which leads to so-called rack bialgebra. Inspired by semi-group theory (adapting the Suschkewitsch theorem), we do some structure theory for rack bialgebras…

Let $X$ be a finite simply connected CW complex of dimension $n$. The loop space homology $H\_*(\Omega X;\mathbb Q)$ is the universal enveloping algebra of a graded Lie algebra $L\_X$ isomorphic with $ pi\_{*-1} (X)\otimes \mathbb Q$. Let…

We review the extent to which the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie-Rinehart algebra resembles a Hopf algebra, and refer to this structure as a Rinehart bialgebra. We then prove a Cartier-Milnor-Moore type theorem for such Rinehart…
