Let R be a commutative ring which contains the rationals as a subring and let g be a chain complex. Suppose given an sh-Lie algebra structure on g, that is, a coalgebra perturbation of the coalgebra differential on the cofree coaugmented…
We extend the classical characterization of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra g in terms of its Maurer-Cartan algebra-the familiar differential graded algebra of alternating forms on g with values in the ground field, endowed with the…
The Dolbeault resolution of the sheaf of holomorphic vector fields $Lie$ on a complex manifold $M$ relates $Lie$ to a sheaf of differential graded Lie algebras, known as the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis algebra $g$. We establish - following B. L.…
Let M be a manifold and g a Lie algebra acting on M. Differential forms Omega(M) carry a natural action of Lie derivatives L(x) and contractions I(x) of fundamental vector fields for x \in g. Contractions (anti-) commute with each other,…
Continual Lie algebras are infinite-dimensional generalizations of Lie algebras with discrete root system by considering continual root systems. In this paper we establish the general relation between chain complexes and continual Lie…
In this paper we construct a graded Lie algebra on the space of cochains on a $\mathbbZ_2$-graded vector space that are skew-symmetric in the odd variables. The Lie bracket is obtained from the classical Gerstenhaber bracket by (partial)…
Generalising a previous work of Jiang and Sheng, a cohomology theory for differential Lie algebras of arbitrary weight is introduced. The underlying $L_\infty[1]$-structure on the cochain complex is also determined via a generalised version…
We consider the space of linear maps from a coassociative coalgebra C into a Lie algebra L. Unless C has a cocommutative coproduct, the usual symmetry properties of the induced bracket on Hom(C,L) fail to hold. We define the concept of…
In this paper the authors investigate the structure the restricted Lie algebra cohomology of p-nilpotent Lie algebras with trivial p-power operation. Our study is facilitated by a spectral sequence whose $E_{2}$-term is the tensor product…
We construct a calculus structure on the Lie conformal algebra cochain complex. By restricting to degree one chains, we recover the structure of a g-complex introduced in [DSK]. A special case of this construction is the variational…
Given a compact Kaehler manifold, we consider the complement U of a divisor with normal crossings and a unitary local system V on it. We consider a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) of forms with holomorphic logarithmic singularities…
A classical theorem of Scheunert on $G$-color Lie algebras, asserts in the case of finitely generated abelian groups, one can twist the algebra structure and the commutation bicharacter on $G$ by a 2-cocycle twist to a super-Lie $G$ graded,…
We construct a cohomology theory controlling the deformations of a general Drinfel'd algebra. The picture presented here has two sides -- the combinatorial one related with the fact of the existence of a graded Lie algebra structure on the…
In this paper, we study post-Lie deformations of a pre-Lie algebra, namely deforming a pre-Lie algebra into a post-Lie algebra. We construct the differential graded Lie algebra that governs post-Lie deformations of a pre-Lie algebra. We…
Closed string field theory leads to a generalization of Lie algebra which arose naturally within mathematics in the study of deformations of algebraic structures. It also appeared in work on higher spin particles \cite{BBvD}. Representation…
Let i be a homomorphism of the multiplicative group into a connected reductive algebraic group over C. Let G^i be the centralizer of the image i. Let LG be the Lie algebra of G and let L_nG (n integer) be the summands in the direct sum…
We find an interpretation of the complex of variational calculus in terms of the Lie conformal algebra cohomology theory. This leads to a better understanding of both theories. In particular, we give an explicit construction of the Lie…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a Lie algebra, $E$ a vector space containing $\mathfrak{g}$ as a subspace. The paper is devoted to the \emph{extending structures problem} which asks for the classification of all Lie algebra structures on $E$ such…
We exhibit in this article a contraction of the direct product Lie algebra $g\oplus g$ of a finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra $g$ onto the semi-direct product Lie algebra $g\rtimes g$, where the first factor $g$ is viewed as a trivial…
Let $A:=\mathbb{C}[z_+,z_-]\otimes \Lambda(\theta_1,\theta_2,\theta_3)$, with $z_\pm$ even and $\theta_1,\theta_2,\theta_3$ odd. For a reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, let $\mathfrak g[A]:=\mathfrak g\otimes A$ be the corresponding…
