In the article at hand, we sketch how, by utilizing nilpotency to its fullest extent (Engel, Super Engel) while using methods from the theory of universal enveloping algebras, a complete description of the indecomposable representations may…
We show that each irreducible tensor representation of weight 2 of the rotation group of three-dimensional space in the space of rank 3 covariant tensors gives rise to an associative algebra with unity. We find the algebraic relations that…
Let $p$ and $\ell$ be primes such that $p > 3$ and $p \mid \ell-1$ and $k$ be an even integer. We use deformation theory of pseudo-representations to study the completion of the Hecke algebra acting on the space of cuspidal modular forms of…
Within the group algebras of the symmetric and hyperoctahedral groups, one has their descent algebras and families of Eulerian idempotents. These idempotents are known to generate group representations with topological interpretations, as…
Recently one of the authors obtained a classification of simple infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras of vector fields which extends the well-known classification of E. Cartan in the Lie algebra case. The list consists of many series…
We study the Euclidean supersymmetric D=11 M-algebras. We consider two such D=11 superalgebras: the first one is N=(1,1) self-conjugate complex-Hermitean, with 32 complex supercharges and 1024 real bosonic charges, the second is N=(1,0)…
A consistent gauging of maximal supergravity requires that the T-tensor transforms according to a specific representation of the duality group. The analysis of viable gaugings is thus amenable to group-theoretical analysis, which we explain…
To each irreducible infinite dimensional representation $(\pi,\cH)$ of a $C^*$-algebra $\cA$, we associate a collection of irreducible norm-continuous unitary representations $\pi_{\lambda}^\cA$ of its unitary group $\U(\cA)$, whose…
We consider 3- and 6-vector deformations of 11-dimensional supergravity backgrounds of the form $M_5\times M_6$ admitting at least 3 Killing vectors. Using flux formulation of the E${}_{6(6)}$ exceptional field theory we derive (sufficient)…
We construct a pseudo-Lagrangian that is invariant under rigid $E_{11}$ and transforms as a density under $E_{11}$ generalised diffeomorphisms. The gauge-invariance requires the use of a section condition studied in previous work on…
We consider the problem of decomposing tensor powers of the fundamental level 1 highest weight representation $V$ of the affine Kac-Moody algebra $\g(E_9)$. We describe an elementary algorithm for determining the decomposition of the…
Generators of the super-Poincar\'e algebra in the non-(anti)commutative superspace are represented using appropriate higher-derivative operators defined in this quantum superspace. Also discussed are the analogous representations of the…
We consider Borcherds superalgebras obtained from semisimple finite-dimensional Lie algebras by adding an odd null root to the simple roots. The additional Serre relations can be expressed in a covariant way. The spectrum of generators at…
We consider generalized diffeomorphisms on an extended mega-space associated to the U-duality group of gauged maximal supergravity in four dimensions, E_7. Through the bein for the extended metric we derive dynamical (field-dependent)…
We study the tensor gauge fields ("notophs") of ungauged N=8 D=4 supergravity in superspace. These are described by 2-form potentials in the adjoint representation of G=E(7(+7)). The consistency of the natural candidates for the superspace…
In view of the newly conjectured Kac-Moody symmetries of supergravity theories placed in eleven and ten dimensions, the relation between these symmetry groups and possible compactifications are examined. In particular, we identify the…
We consider the subalgebras of split real, non-twisted affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras that are fixed by the Chevalley involution. These infinite-dimensional Lie algebras are not of Kac-Moody type and admit finite-dimensional unfaithful…
A set of generalized superalgebras containing arbitrary tensor p-form operators is considered in dimensions $D=2n+1$ for $n=1,4 mod 4$ and the general conditions for its existence expressed in the form of generalized Jacobi identities is…
A theoretical analysis of higher-order corrections to D=11 supergravity is given in a superspace framework. It is shown that any deformation of D=11 supergravity for which the lowest-dimensional component of the four-form $G_4$ vanishes is…
We reformulate eleven-dimensional supergravity, including fermions, in terms of generalised geometry, for spacetimes that are warped products of Minkowski space with a $d$-dimensional manifold $M$ with $d\leq7$. The reformation has a…
