Let $A$ be a monomial associative finite dimensional algebra over a field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic zero. It is well known that the Hochschild cohomology of $A$ can be computed using Bardzell's complex $B(A)$. The aim of this article is to…
We review the elementary theory of gauge fields and the Becchi-Rouet-Stora- Tyutin symmetry in the context of differential geometry. We emphasize the topological nature of this symmetry and discuss a double Chevalley-Eilenberg complex for…
We draw a parallel between the BV/BRST formalism for higher-dimensional ($\ge 2$) Hamiltonian mechanics and higher notions of torsion and basic curvature tensors for generalized connections in specific Lie $n$-algebroids based on homotopy…
In this paper, we mainly study the generalized Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra. Some structural properties of the Lie algebra are studied.
We give a combinatorial model structure to the category of, not necessarily conilpotent, differential graded (dg) cocommutative coalgebras and an $\infty$-category structure to the category of curved Lie algebras over an algebraically…
We recall the definitions and the basic properties of the transversity distributions $h^{q,\bar q}_1(x,Q^2)$ and the corresponding nucleon tensor charges $\delta q(Q^2)$. We briefly comment on different estimates from several…
In this paper we analyse the structure of the BRST charge of nonlinear superalgebras. We consider quadratic non-linear superalgebras where a commutator (in terms of (super) Poisson brackets) of the generators is a quadratic polynomial of…
Kjolstad et. al. proposed a tensor algebra compiler. It takes expressions that define a tensor element-wise, such as $f_{ij}(a,b,c,d) = \exp\left[-\sum_{k=0}^4 \left((a_{ik}+b_{jk})^2\, c_{ii} + d_{i+k}^3 \right) \right]$, and generates the…
Motivated by the descent equation in string theory, we give a new interpretation for the action of the symmetry charges on the BRST cohomology in terms of what we call {\em the Gerstenhaber bracket}. This bracket is compatible with the…
The BRST-antiBRST invariant path integral formulation of classical mechanics of Gozzi et al is generalized to pseudomechanics. It is shown that projections to physical propagators may be obtained by BRST-antiBRST invariant boundary…
Covariant quantization of theories based on nonlinear extensions of Lie algebras in 2d is studied by using a generalized Lagrangian BRST formalism. The quantum action is constructed to be invariant under the off--shell nilpotent BRST…
In this paper, we provide a systematic discretization of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand (BGG) diagrams and complexes over cubical meshes of arbitrary dimension via the use of tensor-product structures of one-dimensional piecewise-polynomial…
In this paper, we show the compatibility of the so-called "dressing field method", which allows a systematic reduction of gauge symmetries, with the inclusion of diffeomorphisms in the BRST algebra of a gauge theory. The robustness of the…
In this paper we calculate the Hochschild cohomology of graded skew-gentle algebras, together with its structure as graded commutative algebra under the cup product and its Lie algebra structure given by the Gerstenhaber bracket. One of the…
We describe two constructions giving rise to curved $A_{\infty}$-algebras. The first consists of deforming $A_{\infty}$-algebras, while the second involves transferring curved dg structures that are deformations of (ordinary) dg structures…
We outline the construction of differential invariants for higher--rank tensors.
We perform the antifield BRST quantization of duality-symmetric Maxwell theory and show explicitly the quantum equivalence of the different formulations (covariant and non-covariant). The non-covariant gauge-fixed action is used in the…
The BRST structure of a current satisfying a non abelian affine algebra in two dimensions was studied by Isidro and Ramallo and an N=2 Superconformal Algebra was obtained. In this paper, we study the total BRST and anti BRST structure of…
We construct a differential and a Lie bracket on the space\linebreak $\{\Hom (A^{\otimes k}, A^{\otimes l})\},_{k,l\ge 0}$ for any associative algebra $A$. The restriction of this bracket to the space $\{\Hom (A^{\otimes k}, A)\},_{k\ge 0}$…
This paper presents a thoughful review of: (a) the Clifford algebra Cl(H_{V}) of multivecfors which is naturally associated with a hyperbolic space H_{V}; (b) the study of the properties of the duality product of multivectors and…
