Three kinds of universal central extension are considered for a perfect Lie algebra. More precisely, one can consider such a Lie algebra as a Lie triple system, or a Leibniz algebra and construct appropriate central extensions. We show that…
We introduce Hopf algebroid covariance on Woronowicz's differential calculus. Using it, we develop quite a general framework of noncommutative complex geometry that subsumes the one in [2]. We present transverse complex and K\"ahler…
In this paper we give a geometric construction of the Borel equivariant (co)homology for spaces with a $G$-action, where $G$ is a compact Lie group with the property that the adjoint representation is orientable. A nice feature of these…
We introduce a notion of secondary characteristic classes of Lie algebra extensions. As a spin-off of our construction we obtain a new proof of Lecomte's generalization of the Chern-Weil homomorphism.
This paper aims to study the low dimensional cohomology of Hom-Lie algebras and q-deformed W(2,2) algebra. We show that the q-deformed W(2,2) algebra is a Hom-Lie algebra. Also, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between the…
A cohomology theory of weighted Rota-Baxter $3$-Lie algebras is introduced. Formal deformations, abelian extensions, skeletal weighted Rota-Baxter $3$-Lie 2-algebras and crossed modules of weighted Rota-Baxter 3-Lie algebras are interpreted…
In this paper we study universal central extensions and non-abelian tensor product of hom-Lie-Rinehart algebras. We discuss about universal $\alpha$- central extensions, and, lifting of automorphisms and $\alpha$-derivations to central…
As an algebraic study of differential equations, differential algebras have been studied for a century and and become an important area of mathematics. In recent years the area has been expended to the noncommutative associative and Lie…
We introduce a cohomology theory of grading-restricted vertex algebras. To construct the {\it correct} cohomologies, we consider linear maps from tensor powers of a grading-restricted vertex algebra to "rational functions valued in the…
We study three different (co)homology theories for a family of pullbacks of algebras that we call oriented. We obtain a Mayer Vietoris long exact sequence of Hochschild and cyclic homology and cohomology groups for these algebras. We give…
In this paper, we define representations and cohomology of weighted Rota-Baxter Lie algebras. As applications of cohomology, we study abelian extensions and formal $1$-parameter deformations weighted Rota-Baxter Lie algebras. Finally, we…
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 goal of this paper is to explicitly describe in terms of generators and relations the universal central extension of the infinite dimensional Lie algebra, $\mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathbb{C}[t,t^{-1},u]$ with finite dimensional simple Lie…
Lax operator algebras were introduced by Krichever and Sheinman as a further development of I.Krichever's theory of Lax operators on algebraic curves. These are almost-graded Lie algebras of current type. In this article local cocycles and…

In this paper, we establish an explicit classification of length two extensions of tensor modules for the Witt algebra using the cohomology of the Witt algebra with coefficients in the module of the space of homomorphisms between the two…
In this paper, we study 3-Lie algebras with derivations. We call the pair consisting of a 3-Lie algebra and a distinguished derivation by the 3-LieDer pair. We define a cohomology theory for 3-LieDer pair with coefficients in a…
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, all (super)algebras are over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic different from $2, 3$. We construct the so-called 5-sequences of cohomology for central extensions of a Lie superalgebra and prove that they are exact. Then…
For a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ related to a quantum torus, we compute its automorphisms, derivations and universal central extension. This Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ is isomorphic to a subalgebra of the Lie algebra of derivations over the…
