In this paper we study categorical properties of the category of abelian hypergroups that leads to the notion of hyper (almost) preadditive and hyper (almost) abelian categories. Our goal is to create a path towards a general theory of…

We study Quillen's model category structure for homotopy of simplicial objects in the context of Janelidze, Marki and Tholen's semi-abelian categories. This model structure exists as soon as the base category A is regular Mal'tsev and has…

We define a Galois structure on the category of pairs of equivalence relations in an exact Mal'tsev category, and characterize central and double central extensions in terms of higher commutator conditions. These results generalize both the…

Let G be a group which is topologically a CW-complex, BG a classifying space for G, and A a discrete abelian group. To a central extension of G by A, one can associate a cohomology class in $H^2(BG,A)$. We show this association is…

The question of which separable C*-algebras have abelian central sequence algebras was raised and studied by Phillips ([Ph88]) and Ando-Kirchberg ([AK14]). In this paper we give a complete answer to their question: A separable C*-algebra…

We survey the results regarding semi-extraspecial $p$-groups. Semi-extraspecial groups can be viewed as generalizations of extraspecial groups. We present the connections between semi-extraspecial groups and Camina groups and VZ-groups, and…

Expansions of abelian categories are introduced. These are certain functors between abelian categories and provide a tool for induction/reduction arguments. Expansions arise naturally in the study of coherent sheaves on weighted projective…

The key ingredient of this paper is the universal central extension of the generalized orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}_{m|2n}(R,{}^-)$ coordinatized by a unital associative superalgebra $(R,{}^-)$ with superinvolution. Such…

The purpose of this paper is to explicitly describe in terms of generators and relations the universal central extension of the infinite dimensional Lie algebra, $\mathfrak g\otimes \mathbb C[t,t^{-1},u|u^2=(t^2-b^2)(t^2-c^2)]$, appearing…

We develop the theory of central ideals on commutative rings. We introduce and study the central seminormalization of a ring in another one. This seminormalization is related to the theory of regulous functions on real algebraic varieties.…

In this paper we describe central extensions (up to isomorphism) of all complex null-filiform and filiform associative algebras.

In this work we construct a infinite dimensional $\ell$-super Galilean conformal algebra, which is a generalization of the $\ell=1$ algebra found in the literature. We give a classification of central extensions, the vector field…

Quasi-abelian categories are abundant in functional analysis and representation theory. It is known that a quasi-abelian category $\mathcal{E}$ is a cotilting torsionfree class of an abelian category. In fact, this property characterizes…

In this paper, first we classify non-abelian extensions of Leibniz algebras by the second non-abelian cohomology. Then, we construct Leibniz 2-algebras using derivations of Leibniz algebras, and show that under a condition on the center, a…

We investigate from an algebraic and topological point of view the minimal prime spectrum of a universal algebra, considering the prime congruences w.r.t. the term condition commutator. Then we use the topological structure of the minimal…

This paper is a contribution to the construction of non-semisimple modular categories. We establish when M\"uger centralizers inside non-semisimple modular categories are also modular. As a consequence, we obtain conditions under which…

We show that every nilpotent group of class at most two may be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. The embedding is shown to depend only on the base group. Some refinements are obtained by considering…

Let $A$ be an amenable separable \CA and $B$ be a non-unital but $\sigma$-unital simple \CA with continuous scale. We show that two essential extensions $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$ of $A$ by $B$ are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only…

The central extension of a new infinite dimensional algebra which has both $W_\infty$ and affine $sl(2,R)$ as subalgebras is found. The critical dimension of the corresponding string model is $D=5$.

We introduce Hom-actions, semi-direct product and establish the equivalence between split extensions and the semi-direct product extension of Hom-Leibniz algebras. We analyze the functorial properties of the universal ({\alpha})-central…
