In this paper, we study the derivations, central extensions and the automorphisms of the infinite-dimensional Lie algebra W which appeared in [8] and Dong-Zhang's recent work [22] on the classification of some simple vertex operator…
In this paper we generalize classical results on Lie algebras and universal enveloping algebras of Lie algebras to Lie-Rinehart algebras. We define for any Lie-Rinehart algebra $L$ and any cocycle $f$ in $Z^2(L,B)$, a universal enveloping…
We define a new cohomology for associative algebras which we compute for algebras with units.
The notion of crossed modules for Lie 2-algebras is introduced. We show that, associated to such a crossed module, there is a strict Lie 3-algebra structure on its mapping cone complex and a strict Lie 2-algebra structure on its…
In this paper, we introduce the representation of modified $\lambda$-differential $3$-Lie algebras and define the cohomology of modified $\lambda$-differential $3$-Lie algebras with coefficients in a representation. As applications of the…
The cohomology and deformation theory of 3-Lie algebras are revisited. The theory of extending structures and unified product for 3-Lie algebras are developed.It is proved that the extending structures of 3-Lie algebras can be classified by…
In this note we show that the theory of non abelian extensions of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ by a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{h}$ can be understood in terms of a differential graded Lie algebra $L$. More precisely we show that the non-abelian…
A well-known and old result of Hazewinkel and Koszul states that the cohomology of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra is isomorphic, up to a suitable shift, to its twisted homology, a Lie-theoretical version of Poincare duality. This paper…
In recent years, averaging operators on Lie algebras (also called embedding tensors in the physics literature) and associated tensor hierarchies form an efficient tool for constructing supergravity and higher gauge theories. A Lie algebra…
We study the behavior of the modular class of a Lie algebroid under general Lie algebroid morphisms by introducing the relative modular class. We investigate the modular classes of pull-back morphisms and of base-preserving morphisms…
The correspondence between Lie algebras, Lie groups, and algebraic groups, on one side and commutative Hopf algebras on the other side are known for a long time by works of Hochschild-Mostow and others. We extend this correspondence by…
We study the relationship between cyclic homology of Jordan superalgebras and second cohomologies of their Tits-Kantor-Koecher Lie superalgebras. In particular, we focus on Jordan superalgebras that are Kantor doubles of bracket algebras.…
The purpose of this paper is to study Lie-Rinehart superalgebras over characteristic zero fields, which are consisting of a supercommutative associative superalgebra $A$ and a Lie superalgebra $L$ that are compatible in a certain way. We…
We compute the cohomology with trivial coefficients of Lie algebras $\mathfrak{m}_0$ and $\mathfrak{m}_2$ of maximal class over the field $\mathbb{Z}_2$. In the infinite-dimensional case, we show that the cohomology rings…
In this paper, we investigate non-abelian extensions of Lie algebras with derivations using several different approaches. We show that the theory of non-abelian extensions of a Lie algebra with a derivation can be characterized by means of…
A morphism Lie algebra is a triple $(\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{h}, \phi)$ consisting of two Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{h}$ and a Lie algebra homomorphism $\phi : \mathfrak{g} \rightarrow \mathfrak{h}$. We define representations and…
In this paper we study the cohomology of (strict) Lie 2-groups. We obtain an explicit Bott-Shulman type map in the case of a Lie 2-group corresponding to the crossed module $A\to 1$. The cohomology of the Lie 2-groups corresponding to the…
In this paper we present all the Leibniz 2-cocycles of the twisted Schr\"{o}dinger-Virasoro algebra, which determine its second Leibniz cohomology group.
In this paper we compute the cohomology of certain special cases of nilpotent algebras in a complex \zt-graded vector space of arbitrary finite dimension. These algebras are generalizations of the only two nontrivial complex 2-dimensional…
It is known that Hochschild cohomology groups are represented by crossed extensions of associative algebras. In this paper, we introduce crossed $n$-fold extensions of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ by a module $M$, for $n \geq 2$. The…
