Given an algebraic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over $\mathbb{C}$, we canonically associate to it a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_{\infty}$ defined over $\mathbb{C}_{\infty}$-the reduction of $\mathbb{C}$ mod infinitely large prime, and show that…

In this paper we further develop the method of quaternion typification of Clifford algebra elements suggested by the author in the previous papers. On the basis of new classification of Clifford algebra elements it is possible to find out…

Mathematical physicists have studied degenerations of Lie groups and their representations, which they call contractions. In this paper we study these contractions, and also other families, within the framework of algebraic families of…

We introduce a one-parameter family of transforms, $U^t_{(m)}$, $t>0$, from the Hilbert space of Clifford algebra valued square integrable functions on the $m$--dimensional sphere, $L^2(S^{m},d\sigma_{m})\otimes \mathbb{C}_{m+1}$, to the…

Let C be a 2-connected Gorenstein curve either reduced or contained in a smooth algebraic surface and let S be a subcanonical cluster (i.e. a 0-dim scheme such that the space H^0(C, I_S K_C) contains a generically invertible section). Under…

I apply the algebraic framework developed in arXiv:1101.4542 to study geometry of elliptic spaces in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions. The background material on projectivised Clifford algebras and their application to Cayley-Klein geometries is…

We define the contact homology algebra for any contact manifold and show that it is an invariant of the contact manifold. More precisely, given a contact manifold $(M,\xi)$ and some auxiliary data $\mathcal{D}$, we define an algebra…

This is the second in a series of papers on a new equivariant cohomology that takes values in a vertex algebra. In an earlier paper, the first two authors gave a construction of the cohomology functor on the category of O(sg) algebras. The…

We work towards a version of generalized Harish-Chandra theory compatible with Clifford theory and with the action of automorphisms on irreducible characters. This provides a fundamental tool to verify the inductive conditions for the…

We show how to use Clifford algebra techniques to describe the de Rham cohomology ring of equal rank compact symmetric spaces $G/K$. In particular, for $G/K=U(n)/U(k)\times U(n-k)$, we obtain a new way of multiplying Schur polynomials,…

In the present paper, we determine the group of automorphisms of pseudo $H$-type Lie algebras, which are two-step nilpotent Lie algebras closely related to the Clifford algebras $\Cl(\mathbb R^{r,s})$.

Let Cl1(1,3) and Cl2(1,3) be the subsets of elements of the Clifford algebra Cl(1,3) of ranks 1 and 2 respectively. Recently it was proved that the subset Cl2(p,q)+iCl1(p,q) of the complex Clifford algebra can be considered as a Lie…

The Hecke-Clifford superalgebra is a super-analogue of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type A. The classification of its simple modules is done by Brundan, Kleshchev and Tsuchioka using a method of categorification of affine Lie algebras. In…

Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra. Drinfeld showed that the quantum loop algebra U_h(Lg) of g degenerates to the Yangian Y_h(g). We strengthen this result by constructing an explicit algebra homomorphism Phi defined over Q[[h]]…

This paper is divided in three parts. In the first part, I study the Clifford algebra associated to the hessian of a functional $f$ defined on an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ \ and the Clifford algebra associated to the hessian of the…

We compute the Hochschild cohomology of universal enveloping algebras of Lie-Rinehart algebras in terms of the Poisson cohomology of the associated graded quotient algebras. Central in our approach are two cochain complexes of "nonlinear…

We functorially identify similarity classes of line-bundle-valued quadratic forms on rank two vector bundles with isomorphism classes of pairs consisting of the degree zero and the degree one parts of the associated generalized Clifford…

We prove the finiteness of the cohomology of torsion-free lattices in a semisimple Lie group of real rank one with coefficients in the distribution vector globalization of Harish-Chandra modules. The cohomology is expressed in terms of…

Clifford algebras are used for definition of spinors. Because of using spin-1/2 systems as an adequate model of quantum bit, a relation of the algebras with quantum information science has physical reasons. But there are simple mathematical…

If $\Gamma$ is a subalgebra of $A$, then an $A$-module is called a Harish-Chandra module if it is the direct sum of its generalized weight spaces with respect to $\Gamma$. In 1994, Drozd, Futorny, and Ovsienko defined a generalization of a…
