Lie n-algebroids and Lie infinity algebroids are usually thought of exclusively in supergeometric or algebraic terms. In this work, we apply the higher derived brackets construction to obtain a geometric description of Lie n-algebroids by…

We define the notion of action of an L-infinity algebra $g$ on a graded manifold $M$, and show that such an action corresponds to a homological vector field on $g[1] \times M$ of a specific form. This generalizes the correspondence between…

Consider the differential forms $A^*(L)$ on a Lagrangian submanifold $L \subset X$. Following ideas of Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono, we construct a family of cyclic unital curved $A_\infty$ structures on $A^*(L),$ parameterized by the cohomology of…

Let M be a topological manifold modelled on topological vector spaces, which is the union of an ascending sequence of such manifolds M_n. We formulate a mild condition ensuring that the k-th homotopy group of M is the direct limit of the…

Fof a nilpotent differential graded Lie algebra whose components vanish in degrees below -1 we construct an explicit equivalence between the nerve of the Deligne 2-groupoid and the simplicial set of differential forms with values in the Lie…

In this paper, we introduce a new class of structured spaces which is locally modeled by Costello's L-infinity spaces. This provides an alternative approach to study the derived geometric structures in the algebraic, analytic, or smooth…

Minimal Q-graded subalgebras of semisimple Lie algebras are introduced, and it is proved that their derived algebras are abelian. Almost inner derivations of minimal Q-graded subalgebras are investigated, they are all inner derivations.…

We determine the abelianizations of the following three kinds of graded Lie algebras in certain stable ranges: derivations of the free associative algebra, derivations of the free Lie algebra and symplectic derivations of the free…

This is the author's diploma thesis. In the first part of the thesis the algebra structure on the Ext-spaces Ext^k(M(x), M(y)) of Verma modules M(x) and M(y) in the parabolic category O for the case of the parabolic subalgebras gl(n) x…

The present paper contains a systematic study of the structure of metric Lie algebras, i.e., finite-dimensional real Lie algebras equipped with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form. We show that any metric Lie algebra without…

Let $\boldsymbol{k}$ be a field of characteristic zero and $A=\boldsymbol{k}[x_{1},...,x_{n}]/I$ with $I=(f_{1},...,f_{k})$ be an affine algebra. We study Nambu-Poisson brackets on $A$ of arity $m\geq 2$, focusing on the case when $m$ is…

Motivated by M-theory, we define a new type of non-associative algebra involving usual and cubic matrices at the same time. The resulting algebra can be regarded as a two-term truncated $L_\infty$ algebra giving rise to a fundamental…

We obtain a characterization of the real Lie algebras admitting abelian complex structures in terms of certain affine Lie algebras $\frak a \frak f \frak f (A)$, where $A$ is a commutative algebra. These affine Lie algebras are natural…

We classify nonabelian extensions of Lie algebroids in the holomorphic category. Moreover we study a spectral sequence associated to any such extension. This spectral sequence generalizes the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence for Lie…

We define a new homotopy algebraic structure, that we call a braided $L_\infty$-algebra, and use it to systematically construct a new class of noncommutative field theories, that we call braided field theories. Braided field theories have…

The Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies are integrable hierarchies associated with every affine Lie algebra. We present a new construction of such hierarchies, which only requires the computations of a formal Laurent series.

The standard reduced bar complex B(A) of a differential graded algebra A inherits a natural commutative algebra structure if A is a commutative algebra. We address an extension of this construction in the context of E-infinity algebras. We…

Let W_n(K) be the Lie algebra of derivations of the polynomial algebra K[X]:=K[x_1,...,x_n] over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic zero. A subalgebra L of W_n(K) is called polynomial if it is a submodule of the K[X]-module…

The aim of this note is to introduce the notion of a $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebra and to prove some elementary properties of $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras, the category of $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras, the category of modules on a…

Given a homotopy Lie algebra (i.e. an $L_\infty$-algebra) $\mathfrak{g}$, we show concretely how the Lada-Markl $\mathfrak{g}$-modules (i.e. representations) assemble into a symmetric monoidal dg-category. Considering the homotopy…
