Derived brackets provide a mechanism for generating algebraic structures from graded Lie superalgebras, with applications in Poisson geometry, mathematical physics, and the theory of algebroids. In this paper, we present a complete…
Given a fiber bundle, we construct a differential graded Lie algebra model for the classifying space of the monoid of homotopy equivalences of the base covered by a fiberwise isomorphism of the total space.
A Lie algebra $L$ is said to be $(\Theta_{n},sl_{n})$-graded if it contains a simple subalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ isomorphic to $sl_{n}$ such that the $\mathfrak{g}$-module $L$ decomposes into copies of the adjoint module, the trivial module,…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be an algebra over $K$ with a bilinear operation $[\cdot,\cdot]:\mathfrak{g}\times\mathfrak{g}\rightarrow\mathfrak{g}$ not necessarily associative. For $A\subseteq\mathfrak{g}$, let $A^{k}$ be the set of elements of…
We generalize a result on the Heisenberg Lie algebra that gives restrictions to possible Lie bialgebra cobrackets on 2-step nilpotent algebras with some additional properties. For the class of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras coming from…
In the computation of the normal form of a colored network vector field, following the semigroup(oid) approach in [19], one would like to be able to say something about the structure of the Lie algebra of linear colored network vector…
The paper is devoted to the study of pro-solvable Lie algebras whose maximal pro-nilpotent ideal is either $\mathfrak{m}_0$ or $\mathfrak{m}_2$. Namely, we describe such Lie algebras and establish their completeness. Triviality of the…
This is an expository paper in which we explain how basic, standard, results about simple Lie algebras can be obtained by geometric arguments, following ideas of Cartan, Richardson and others.
We determine the derivation algebras and the isomorphism classes of a family of the simple Lie algebras introduced recently by Xu [Manuscripta Math 100 (1999), 489-518]. The structure space of these algebras is given explicitly.
We start studying chiral algebras (as defined by A. Beilinson and V. Drinfeld) from the point of view of deformation theory. First, we define the notion of deformation of a chiral algebra on a smooth curve $X$ over a bundle of local…
We present a construction of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras using labeled directed simple graphs, which allows us to give a criterion to detect certain ideals and subalgebras by finding special subgraphs. We prove that if a label occurs only…
In this article, the structure of the Clifford-Weyl superalgebras and their associated Lie superalgebras will be investigated. These superalgebras have a natural supersymmetric inner product which is invariant under their Lie superalgebra…
Hom-Lie algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras that arise naturally in the study of nonassociative algebraic structures. In this paper, the concepts of solvable and nilpotent Hom-Lie algebras studied further. In the theory of groups,…
Motivated by the theory of unitary representations of finite dimensional Lie supergroups, we describe those Lie superalgebras which have a faithful finite dimensional unitary representation. We call these Lie superalgebras unitary. This is…
This paper studies the relationship between crossed modules of Lie algebras and their centres. We show that any crossed module \(\partial : L_1\to L_0\) of Lie algebras fits in an exact sequence involving cohomology of the homotopy Lie…
We present the results of computation of cohomology for some Lie (super)algebras of Hamiltonian vector fields and related algebras. At present, the full cohomology rings for these algebras are not known even for the low dimensional vector…
We show that finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero such that their high-degree cohomology in any finite-dimensional non-trivial irreducible module vanishes, are, essentially, direct sums of semisimple and…
In this paper, we give a unified construction of vertex algebras arising from infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, including the affine Kac-Moody algebras, Virasoro algebras, Heisenberg algebras and their higher rank analogs, orbifolds and…
We study post-Lie algebra structures on pairs of Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{n})$, motivated by nil-affine actions of Lie groups. We prove existence results for such structures depending on the interplay of the algebraic…
We introduce a new cohomology for Lie algebroids, and prove that it provides a differential graded Lie algebra which ``controls'' deformations of the structure bracket of the algebroid. We also have a closer look at various special cases…
