This text is a support for different courses of the master of Mechanics of the University Paris-Saclay. The content of this text is an introduction, for graduate students, to tensor algebra and analysis. Far from being exhaustive, the text…
Using the theory of extensions of L-infinity algebras, we construct rational homotopy models for classifying spaces of fibrations, giving answers in terms of classical homological functors, namely the Chevalley-Eilenberg and Harrison…
We perform a BRST analysis of the N=2 superconformal minimal unitary models. A bosonic as well as fermionic BRST operators are used to construct irreducible representations of the N=2 superconformal algebra on the Fock space as BRST…
We provide formulas for computing the discriminant of noncommutative algebras over central subalgebras in the case of Ore extensions and skew group extensions. The formulas follow from a more general result regarding the discriminants of…
A new vector field is introduced into 2-form Einstein gravity in four dimensions to restore a large symmetry of its topological version. Two different expressions for the BRST charge are given in the system: one of them associated with a…
The tensor product algebra TA(n) for the complex general linear group GL(n), introduced by Howe et al., describes the decomposition of tensor products of irreducible polynomial representations of GL(n). Using the hive model for the…
We investigate Lie bialgebra structures on simple Lie algebras of non-split type $A$. It turns out that there are several classes of such Lie bialgebra structures, and it is possible to classify some of them. The classification is obtained…
In a recent paper by the authors, Lie bialgebra structures on generalized Heisenberg- Virasoro algebra L are considered. In this paper, the explicit formula of the quantization on generalized Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra is presented.
We introduce higher-order (or multibracket) simple Lie algebras that generalize the ordinary Lie algebras. Their `structure constants' are given by Lie algebra cohomology cocycles which, by virtue of being such, satisfy a suitable…
We propose a definition of a quantised $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-differential algebra and show that the quantised exterior algebra (defined by Berenstein and Zwicknagl) and the quantised Clifford algebra (defined by the authors) of…
We consider (effective) Quantum General Relativity coupled to the Standard Model (QGR-SM) and clarify whether graviton-ghosts couple to matter particles. To this end, we examine the corresponding BRST and anti-BRST symmetries, which are…
Noncommutative geometry(NCG) on the discrete space successfully reproduces the Higgs mechanism of the spontaneously broken gauge theory, in which the Higgs boson field is regarded as a kind of gauge field on the discrete space. We could…
Parameter-ellipticity with respect to a closed subsector of the complex plane for pseudodifferential Douglis-Nirenberg systems is discussed and shown to imply the existence of a bounded H_\infty-calculus in suitable scales of Sobolev,…
We consider the concept of fractons, i.e. particles or quasiparticles which obey specific fractal distribution function and for each universal class h of particles we obtain a fractal-deformed Heisenberg algebra. This one takes into account…
We consider a BRST approach to G/H coset WZNW models, {\it i.e.} a formulation in which the coset is defined by a BRST condition. We will give the precise ingrediences needed for this formulation. Then we will prove the equivalence of this…
We study algebraic aspects of generalized Legendrian racks, which are nonassociative structures based on the Legendrian Reidemeister moves. We answer an open question characterizing the group of GL-structures on a given rack. As…
Spectral sequences are a common tool to compute cohomology spaces, but higher structure is often lost on the way. In this article we exhibit a strategy to retain the higher structure on the cohomology, which works in case the chain complex…
We formulate a theory combining the principles of a scalar-tensor gravity and the Rastall proposal of a violation of the usual conservation laws. In the resulting Brans-Dicke-Rastall (BDR) theory the only exact, static, spherically…
BRST complexes are differential graded Poisson algebras. They are associated to a coisotropic ideal $J$ of a Poisson algebra $P$ and provide a description of the Poisson algebra $(P/J)^J$ as their cohomology in degree zero. Using the notion…
The paper provides a framework for a systematic analysis of the local BRST cohomology in a large class of gauge theories. The approach is based on the cohomology of s+d in the jet space of fields and antifields, s and d being the BRST…
