We investigate pairs $(G,Y)$, where $G$ is a reductive algebraic group and $Y$ a purely-odd $G$-superscheme, asking when a pair corresponds to a quasi-reductive algebraic supergroup $\mathbb{G}$, that is, $\mathbb{G}_{\text{ev}}$ is…

In Kac's classification of finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras, the contragredient ones can be constructed from Dynkin diagrams similar to those of the simple finite-dimensional Lie algebras, but with additional types of nodes. For…

We present a modern formulation of \'Elie Cartan's structure theory for Lie pseudogroups and prove a reduction theorem that clarifies the role of Cartan's systatic system. The paper is divided into three parts. In part one, using notions…

This work was inspired by two natural questions. The first question is when Lie(G')=Lie(G)', where G is a connected algebraic supergroup defined over a field of characteristic zero. The second question is whether the unipotent radical of…

Let $\mathbb{k}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $ p>0. $ In this short note, we illustrate a class of Lie superalgebras over $ \mathbb{k} $ such that the category of restricted supermodules is of one block. As an…

We introduce and study certain hyperbolic versions of automorphic Lie algebras related to the modular group. Let $\Gamma$ be a finite index subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ with an action on a complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak…

We construct countable groups $G$ with the following new degree of W*-superrigidity: if $L(G)$ is virtually isomorphic, in the sense of admitting a bifinite bimodule, with any other group von Neumann algebra $L(\Lambda)$, then the groups…

Suppose a group $\Gamma$ acts on a scheme $X$ and a Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The corresponding equivariant map superalgebra is the Lie superalgebra of equivariant regular maps from $X$ to $\mathfrak{g}$. We classify the irreducible…

Given a G-structure with connection satisfying a regularity assumption we associate to it a classifying Lie algebroid. This algebroid contains all the information about the equivalence problem and is an example of a G-structure Lie…

This paper gives an analogue of A_g(V) theory for a vertex operator superalgebra V and an automorphism g of finite order. The relation between the g-twisted V-modules and A_g(V)-modules is established. It is proved that if V is g-rational,…

For a given abelian group G, we classify the isomorphism classes of G-gradings on the simple restricted Lie algebras of types W(m;1) and S(m;1) (m>=2), in terms of numerical and group-theoretical invariants. Our main tool is automorphism…

We consider the Cartan subalgebra of any very extended algebra G+++ where G is a simple Lie algebra and let the parameters be space-time fields. These are identified with diagonal metrics and dilatons. Using the properties of the algebra,…

Let (g,[p]) be a finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra, defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>0. The scheme of tori of maximal dimension of g gives rise to a finite group S(g) that coincides with the Weyl…

Let $B$ be a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded Lie superalgebra equipped with an invariant $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric homogeneous bilinear form and containing a grading element. Its local part (in the terminology of Kac) $B_{-1} \oplus B_{0} \oplus B_{1}$…

A class of Z_2-graded Lie algebra and Lie superalgebra extensions of the pseudo-orthogonal algebra of a spacetime of arbitrary dimension and signature is investigated. They have the form g = g_0 + g_1, with g_0 = so(V) + W_0 and g_1 = W_1,…

The study of finite subgroups of a simple algebraic group $G$ reduces in a sense to those which are almost simple. If an almost simple subgroup of $G$ has a socle which is not isomorphic to a group of Lie type in the underlying…

We give a positive answer to the Berry-Robbins problem for any compact Lie group G, i.e. we show the existence of a smooth W-equivariant map from the space of regular triples in a Cartan subalgebra to the flag manifold G/T. This map is…

For every finite dimensional Lie supergroup $(G,\mathfrak g)$, we define a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal A:=\mathcal A(G,\mathfrak g)$, and show that there exists a canonical bijective correspondence between unitary representations of…
