We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for Poincar\'e Lie superalgebras in any dimension and signature to be isomorphic. This reduces the classification problem, up to certain discrete operations, to classifying the orbits of the…

Two unanswered questions in the heart of the theory of Leavitt path algebras are whether Grothendieck group $K_0$ is a complete invariant for the class of unital purely infinite simple algebras and, a weaker question, whether $L_2$ (the…

In 1989 Happel conjectured that for a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ over an algebraically closed field $k$, $\gl A< \infty$ if and only if $\hch A < \infty$. Recently Buchweitz-Green-Madsen-Solberg gave a counterexample to Happel's…

The normalized cochain complex of a simplicial set N^*(Y) is endowed with the structure of an E_{infinity} algebra. More specifically, we prove in a previous article that N^*(Y) is an algebra over the Barratt-Eccles operad. According to M.…

We prove that two quasi-isomorphic simply connected differential graded associative Frobenius algebras have isomorphic Goresky-Hingston algebras on their reduced Hochschild homology. Our proof is based on relating the Goresky-Hingston…

This paper investigates if a differential graded algebra can have more than one $A_\infty$-structure extending the given differential graded algebra structure. We give a sufficient condition for uniqueness of such an $A_\infty$-structure up…

It is well known that the chain map between the de Rham and Poisson complexes on a Poisson manifold also maps the Koszul bracket of differential forms into the Schouten bracket of multivector fields. In the generalized case of a…

A A BV algebra and a QP-structure of degree 3 is formulated. A QP-structure of degree 3 gives rise to Lie algebroids up to homotopy and its algebraic and geometric structure is analyzed. A new algebroid is constructed, which derives a new…

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…

For a field $\mathbb{F}$, let $L_k(\mathbb{F})$ be the Lie algebra of derivations $f(t)\frac{d}{dt}$ of the polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}[t]$, where $f(t)$ is a polynomial of degree $\geqslant k$. For any $k\geqslant -1$, we present a basis…

We describe the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology HH*$(A)$ when $A$ is a quadratic string algebra. First we compute the Hochschild cohomology groups using Barzdell's resolution and we describe generators of these…

Let $A$ be a standard graded $\mathbb{K}$-algebra of finite type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We use apolarity to construct, for each degree $k$, a projective variety whose osculating defect in degree $s$ is…

In this paper, deformations of $L_\infty$-algebras are defined in such a way that the bases of deformations are $L_\infty$-algebras, as well. A universal and a semiuniversal deformation is constructed for $L_\infty$-algebras, whose…

We study nearly-Kahler 6-manifolds equipped with a cohomogeneity-two Lie group action for which the principal orbits are coisotropic. If the metric is complete, then we show that this last condition is automatically satisfied, and both the…

We define a graded twisted-coassociative coproduct on the tensor algebra $TW$ of any $\Z^n$-graded vector space $W$. If $W$ is the desuspension space $\da V$ of a graded vector space $V$, the coderivations (resp. quadratic ``degree 1''…

We show that the Lorentz covariant formulation of N=2 string in a curved space reveals an explicit hyper--K\"ahler structure. Apart from the metric, the superconformal currents couple to a background two--form. By superconformal symmetry…

The theory of Lie algebras can be categorified starting from a new notion of "2-vector space", which we define as an internal category in Vect. There is a 2-category 2Vect having these 2-vector spaces as objects, "linear functors" as…

I define higher codimensional versions of contact structures on manifolds as maximally non-integrable distributions. I call them multicontact structures. Cartan distributions on jet spaces provide canonical examples. More generally, I…

In this paper, we extend the Goldman-Millson Theorem for $L_\infty$ algebras. We consider two $L_\infty$ algebras $L$ and $\tilde{L}$ endowed with descending, bounded above and complete filtrations compatible with the $L_\infty$ structures…

We construct a Frobenius algebra structure on the Hochschild cochains of a group ring k[G] that extends the known structure of a <1, 2> topological quantum field theory on HH^0(k[G]; k[G]), k a field and G a finite group. The convolution…
