We use Galois descent to construct central extensions of twisted forms of split simple Lie algebras over rings. These types of algebras arise naturally in the construction of Extended Affine Lie Algebras. The construction also gives…

Let $G_{2}$ be a group which acts trivially on an abelian group $G_{1}$. As is well known, each perturbed direct product of $G_{1}$ and $G_{2}$ under a 2-cocycle $\varepsilon\in Z^{2}(G_{2},G_{1})$ determines a central extension of $G_{1}$…

Dialgebras are generalizations of associative algebras which give rise to Leibniz algebras instead of Lie algebras. In this paper we study super dialgebras and Leibniz superalgebras, which are $\z_2$-graded dialgebras and Leibniz algebras.…

Classification of noncommutative quadric hypersurfaces is one of the major projects in noncommutative algebraic geometry. In recent years, we are dedicated to complete the classification of noncommutative central conics. To achieve this…

In this paper, we show the relation among the relative central extensions in an isoclinism family of a particular relative central extension of Hom-Lie algebras. We define the notion of isoclinism on the central relative extensions of a…

We extend to the context of algebraic groups a classic result on extensions of abstract groups relating the set of isomorphism classes of extensions of $G$ by $H$ with that of extensions of $G$ by the center $Z$ of $H$. The proof should be…

We give a brief introduction to (upper) cluster algebras and their quantization using examples. Then we present several important families of bases for these algebras using topological models. We also discuss tropical properties of these…

Recently there has been a lot of research and progress in profinite groups. We survey some of the new results and discuss open problems. A central theme is decompositions of finite groups into bounded products of subsets of various kinds…

This is a mostly self-contained survey article about bundle gerbes and some of their recent applications in geometry, field theory, and quantisation. We cover the definition of bundle gerbes with connection and their morphisms, and explain…

We develop a theory of universal central extensions of Hom-Lie algebras. Classical results of universal central extensions of Lie algebras cannot be completely extended to Hom-Lie algebras setting, because of the composition of two central…

Basing ourselves on the categorical notions of central extensions and commutators in the framework of semi-abelian categories relative to a Birkhoff subcategory, we study central extensions of Leibniz algebras with respect to the Birkhoff…

We establish a Galois-theoretic interpretation of cohomology in semi-abelian categories: cohomology with trivial coefficients classifies central extensions, also in arbitrarily high degrees. This allows us to obtain a duality, in a certain…

In this paper we study universal central extensions and non-abelian tensor product of hom-Lie-Rinehart algebras. We discuss about universal $\alpha$- central extensions, and, lifting of automorphisms and $\alpha$-derivations to central…

This thesis introduces the notion of "relative gerbes" for smooth maps of manifolds, and discusses their differential geometry. The equivalence classes of relative gerbes are classified by the relative integral cohomology in degree three.…

We introduce a new class of algebras, which we call cluster-tilted. They are by definition the endomorphism algebras of tilting objects in a cluster category. We show that their representation theory is very close to the representation…

In this paper we study the universal central extension of a Lie--Rinehart algebra and we give a description of it. Then we study the lifting of automorphisms and derivations to central extensions. We also give a definition of a non-abelian…

We generalize the prequantization central extension of a group of diffeomorphisms preserving a closed 2-form \omega (\omega-invariant diffeomorphisms) to an abelian extension of a group of diffeomorphisms preserving a closed vector valued…

We study the concept of extended derivations of algebras which expands diverse definitions of generalized derivations given in the literature. We concentrate on the family of the anti-commutative algebras and classify such spaces of…

We extend the notion of rational points and cohomological obstructions on varieties to categories fibred in groupoids. We also establish the generalized theory of descent by torsors. Then we interpret the obstruction given by the second…

We define the notion of central orderings for a general commutative ring $A$ which generalizes the notion of central points of irreducible real algebraic varieties. We study a central and a precentral loci which both live in the real…
