It has been conjectured that four-dimensional N=8 supergravity may provide a suitable framework for a `Theory of Everything', if its composite SU(8) gauge fields become dynamical. We point out that supersymmetric three-dimensional coset…
The theory of magnetic symmetry in quasicrystals, described in a companion paper [cond-mat/0304669], is used to enumerate all 3-dimensional octagonal spin point groups and spin space-group types, and calculate the resulting selection rules…
This paper proves the isomorphic criterion theorem for (n+2)-dimensional n-Lie algebras, and gives a complete classification of (n+1)-dimensional n-Lie algebras and (n+2)-dimensional n-Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of…
This talk, given at several conferences and meetings, explains the background leading to the formulation of the exact electromagnetic duality conjecture believed to be valid in N=4 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory.
The object of investigations are almost contact B-metric structures on 3-dimensional Lie groups considered as smooth manifolds. There are established the existence and some geometric characteristics of these manifolds in all basic classes.…
We show that the Higgs branch of a four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, with gauge and matter content summarised by an E_8 quiver diagram, is identical to the generalised Coulomb branch of a four-dimensional superconformal strongly coupled…
We have discovered that the gauge invariant observables of matrix models invariant under U($N$) form a Lie algebra, in the planar large-N limit. These models include Quantum Chromodynamics and the M(atrix)-Theory of strings. We study here…
We argue that $\mathcal N=8$ supergravity in four dimensions exhibits an exceptional $E_{8(8)}$ symmetry, enhanced from the known $E_{7(7)}$ invariance. Our procedure to demonstrate this involves dimensional reduction of the $\mathcal N=8$…
In this paper the usual $Z_2$ graded Lie algebra is generalized to a new form, which may be called $Z_{2,2}$ graded Lie algebra. It is shown that there exists close connections between the $Z_{2,2}$ graded Lie algebra and parastatistics, so…
We study Lie algebras of generators of infinitesimal symmetries of almost-cosymplectic-contact structures of odd dimensional manifolds. The almost-cosymplectic-contact structure admits on the sheaf of pairs of 1-forms and functions the…
We prove that a Lie $p$-algebra of cohomological dimension one is one-dimensional, and discuss related questions.
A double algebra is a linear space $V$ equipped with linear map $V\otimes V\to V\otimes V$. Additional conditions on this map lead to the notions of Lie and associative double algebras. We prove that simple finite-dimensional Lie double…
The super-algebraic structure of a generalized version of the Jaynes-Cummings model is investigated. We find that a Z2 graded extension of the so(2,1) Lie algebra is the underlying symmetry of this model. It is isomorphic to the…
Nongraded infinite-dimensional Lie algebras appeared naturally in the theory of Hamiltonian operators, the theory of vertex algebras and their multi-variable analogues. They play important roles in mathematical physics. This survey article…
We present the results of computation of cohomology for some Lie (super)algebras of Hamiltonian vector fields and related algebras. At present, the full cohomology rings for these algebras are not known even for the low dimensional vector…
Given a symmetric Leibniz algebra $(\mathcal{L},.)$, the product is Lie-admissible and defines a Lie algebra bracket $[\;,\;]$ on $\mathcal{L}$. Let $G$ be the connected and simply-connected Lie group associated to $(\mathcal{L},[\;,\;])$.…
Geometric Langlands duality is usually formulated as a statement about Riemann surfaces, but it can be naturally understood as a consequence of electric-magnetic duality of four-dimensional gauge theory. This duality in turn is naturally…
Every metric symplectic Lie algebra has the structure of a quadratic extension. We give a standard model and describe the equivalence classes on the level of corresponding quadratic cohomology sets. Finally, we give a scheme to classify the…
A non completely reducible symplectic Lie algebra is a symplectic Lie algebra which cannot be symplectically reduced to the trivial symplectic Lie algebra. Our aim is to provide a complete classification, up to symplectomorphism of non…
We give a complete classification of (n+2)-dimensional n-Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$, and provide a isomorphic criterion theorem of (n+2)-dimensional n-Lie algebras.
