Finite-dimensional subalgebras of a Lie algebra of smooth vector fields on a circle, as well as piecewise-smooth global transformations of a circle on itself, are considered. A canonical forms of realizations of two- and three-dimensional…

The infinitesimal counterpart of a Lie groupoid is its Lie algebroid. As a vector bundle, it is given by the source vertical tangent bundle restricted to the identity bisection. Its sections can be identified with the invariant vector…

The aim of this paper is to avoid some difficulties, related with the Lie bracket, in the definition of vector fields in a non commutative setting, as they were defined by Woronowicz, Schmudgen--Schuler and Aschieri--Schupp. We extend the…

In this work we solve the problem of providing a Morita invariant definition of Lie and Courant algebroids over Lie groupoids. By relying on supergeometry, we view these structures as instances of vector fields on graded groupoids which are…

In this work we introduce the category of multiplicative sections of an $\la$-groupoid. We prove that this category carries natural strict Lie 2-algebra structures, which are Morita invariant. As applications, we study the algebraic…

We consider a generalisation of vector fields on a vector space, where the vector space is generalised to a highest-weight module over a Kac-Moody algebra. The generalised vector field is an element in a non-associative superalgebra defined…

It is known after Jouanolou that a general holomorphic foliation of degree $\geq2$ in projective space has no algebraic leaf. We give formulas for the degrees of the subvarieties of the parameter space of one-dimensional foliations that…

We study irreducible representations for the Lie algebra of vector fields on a 2-dimensional torus constructed using the generalized Verma modules. We show that for a certain choice of parameters these representations remain irreducible…

In this paper we extend the Lie theory of integration in two different ways. First we consider a finite dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields and discuss the most general conditions under which the integral curves of one of the fields…

Starting with Lie's classification of finite-dimensional transitive Lie algebras of vector fields on $\mathbb C^2$ we construct Lie algebras of vector fields on the bundle $\mathbb C^2 \times \mathbb C$ by lifting the Lie algebras from the…

We present a local and constructive differential geometric description of finite-dimensional solvable and transitive Lie algebras of vector fields. We show that it implies a Lie's conjecture for such Lie algebras. Also infinite-dimensional…

Vertex algebras provide an axiomatic algebraic description of the operator product expansion (OPE) of chiral fields in 2-dimensional conformal field theory. Vertex Lie algebras (= Lie conformal algebras) encode the singular part of the OPE,…
