Let N and M be von Neumann algebras. It is proved that L^p(N) does not Banach embed in L^p(M) for N infinite, M finite, 1 < or = p < 2. The following considerably stronger result is obtained (which implies this, since the Schatten p-class…

In this paper, we study positive as well as non-negative and non-trivial gradings on finite dimensional Lie algebras. We give a different proof that the existence of such a grading on a Lie algebra is invariant under taking field…

We show that for any separable reflexive Banach space $X$ and a large class of Banach spaces $E$, including those with a subsymmetric shrinking basis but also all spaces $L_p$ for $1\leq p \leq \infty$, every bounded linear map ${\mathcal…

For a prime p and natural number n with p greater than or equal to n, we establish the existence of a non-functorial one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of groups of order p^n whose derived subgroup has exponent dividing…

Let $f: A\rightarrow B$ and $g: A\rightarrow C$ be two commutative ring homomorphisms and let $J$ and $J'$ be two ideals of $B$ and $C$, respectively, such that $f^{-1}(J)=g^{-1}(J')$. The \emph{bi-amalgamation} of $A$ with $(B, C)$ along…

Over a field of characteristic zero, we show that two commutative differential graded (dg) algebras are quasi-isomorphic if and only if they are quasi-isomorphic as associative dg algebras. This answers a folklore problem in rational…

Let $\mathbb K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $V$ be a module over the polynomial ring $\mathbb K[x,y]$. The actions of $x$ and $y$ determine linear operators $P$ and $Q$ on $V$ as a vector space over $\mathbb…

As an associative algebra, the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra $\mathcal{H}$ is generated by two elements $A$, $B$ subject to the relation $AB-BA=1$. As a Lie algebra, however, where the usual commutator serves as Lie bracket, the elements $A$ and…

We provide a negative solution to a question of M. Rieffel who asked if the right and left topological stable ranks of a Banach algebra must always agree. Our example is found amongst a class of nest algebras. We show that for many other…

For every Lie pair $(L,A)$ of algebroids we construct a dg-manifold structure on the $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifold $\mathcal M=L[1]\oplus L/A$ such that the inclusion $\iota: A[1] \to \mathcal M$ and the projection $p:\mathcal M\to L[1]$ are…

Given a separable Banach space $E$, we construct an extremely non-complex Banach space (i.e. a space satisfying that $\|Id + T^2\|=1+\|T^2\|$ for every bounded linear operator $T$ on it) whose dual contains $E^*$ as an $L$-summand. We also…

We investigate the group gradings on the algebra of upper triangular matrices over an arbitrary field, viewed as a Lie algebra. These results were obtained a few years early by the same authors. We provide streamlined proofs, and present a…

Let i be a homomorphism of the multiplicative group into a connected reductive algebraic group over C. Let G^i be the centralizer of the image i. Let LG be the Lie algebra of G and let L_nG (n integer) be the summands in the direct sum…

We give a sufficient criterion for complex analyticity of nonlinear maps defined on direct limits of normed spaces. This tool is then used to construct new classes of (real and complex) infinite dimensional Lie groups: (a) groups of germs…

We classify real and complex infinite-dimensional narrow positively graded Lie algebras ${\mathfrak g}=\oplus_{i=1}^{{+}\infty}{\mathfrak g}_i$ with properties $$ [{\mathfrak g}_1, {\mathfrak g}_i]={\mathfrak g}_{i{+}1}, \; \dim{{\mathfrak…

Like the lower central series of a nilpotent group, filters generalize the connection between nilpotent groups and graded Lie rings. However, unlike the case with the lower central series, the associated graded Lie ring may share few…

Let M be a smooth, simply-connected, closed oriented manifold, and LM the free loop space of M. Using a Poincare duality model for M, we show that the reduced equivariant homology of LM has the structure of a Lie bialgebra, and we construct…

We obtain new and improve old results on uniqueness of addition in Lie rings and Lie algebras. A Lie ring $\mathfrak{R}$ is called a unique addition ring, or a UA-Lie ring, if any commutator-preserving bijection from $\mathfrak{R}$ to an…

Let $M$ be a commutative homogeneous space of a compact Lie group $G$ and $A$ be a closed $G$-invariant subalgebra of the Banach algebra $C(M)$. A function algebra is called antisymmetric if it does not contain nonconstant real functions.…

Hom-Lie algebras are non-associative algebras generalizing Lie algebras by twisting the Jacobi identity by an endomorphism. The main examples are algebras of twisted derivations (i.e., linear maps with a generalized Leibniz rule). Such…
