In this paper we prove some general results on Leibniz 2-cocycles for simple Leibniz algebras. Applying these results we establish the triviality of the second Leibniz cohomology for a simple Leibniz algebra with coefficients in itself,…
In this note we define a notion of Courant pair as a Courant algebra over the Lie algebra of linear derivations on an associative algebra. We study formal deformations of Courant pairs by constructing a cohomology bicomplex with…
In this paper, we investigate the inducibility of pairs of automorphisms and derivations in Leibniz 2-algebras. To begin, we provide essential background information on Leibniz 2-algebras and its cohomology theory. Next, we examine the…
In this paper we describe solvable Leibniz algebras whose quotient algebra by one-dimensional ideal is a Lie algebra with rank equal to the length of the characteristic sequence of its nilpotent radical. We prove that such Leibniz algebra…
We endow the group of automorphisms of an exact Courant algebroid over a compact manifold with an infinite dimensional Lie group structure modelled on the inverse limit of Hilbert spaces (ILH). We prove a slice theorem for the action of…
We study the automorphism groups of finite-dimensional cyclic Leibniz algebras. In this connection, we consider the relationships between groups, modules over associative rings and Leibniz algebras.
We compare the second adjoint and trivial Leibniz cohomology spaces of a Lie algebra to the usual ones by a very elementary approach. The comparison gives some conditions, which are easy to verify for a given Lie algebra, for deciding…
In this paper, we study compatible Leibniz algebras. We characterize compatible Leibniz algebras in terms of Maurer-Cartan elements of a suitable differential graded Lie algebra. We define a cohomology theory of compatible Leibniz algebras…
In this paper, first we construct a Lie 2-algebra associated to every Leibniz algebra via the skew-symmetrization. Furthermore, we introduce the notion of the naive representation for a Leibniz algebra in order to realize the abstract…
We construct a cochain map embedding the cohomology complex of any dual Leibniz algebra $B$ into the Lie algebra cochain complex of $\mathfrak{g} \otimes B$, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a Leibniz algebra. This reduces the study of dual Leibniz…
Leibniz algebras are certain generalization of Lie algebras. It is natural to generalize concepts in Lie algebras to Leibniz algebras and investigate whether the corresponding results still hold. In this paper we introduce the notion of…
In this work we state a result that relates the cohomology groups of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and a current Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathcal{S}$, by means of a short exact sequence -- similar to the universal coefficients…
For any regular Courant algebroid, we construct a characteristic class a la Chern-Weil. This intrinsic invariant of the Courant algebroid is a degree-3 class in its naive cohomology. When the Courant algebroid is exact, it reduces to the…
We classify the automorphic Lie algebras of equivariant maps from a complex torus to $\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})$. For each case we compute a basis in a normal form. The automorphic Lie algebras correspond precisely to two disjoint…
In this paper, we give the categorification of Leibniz algebras, which is equivalent to 2-term sh Leibniz algebras. They reveal the algebraic structure of omni-Lie 2-algebras introduced in \cite{omniLie2} as well as twisted Courant…
We define a Courant bracket on an associative algebra using the theory of Hochschild homology, and we introduce the notion of Dirac algebra. We show that the bracket of an omni-Lie algebra is quite a kind of Courant bracket.
We compare by a very elementary approach the second adjoint and trivial Leibniz cohomology spaces of a Lie algebra to the usual ones. Examples are given of coupled cocycles. Some properties are deduced as to Leibniz deformations. We also…
This paper studies the loop algebras that arise from pairs consisting of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebra $\g$ and a finite order automorphism $\sigma$ of $\g$. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for two such loop algebras…
Let $ 0\rightarrow \mathfrak{a} \rightarrow \mathfrak{e} \rightarrow \mathfrak{g} \rightarrow 0$ be an abelian extension of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$. In this article we consider the problems of extending endomorphisms of…
For each 3-dimensional non-Lie Leibniz algebra over the complex numbers, we describe the algebra of polynomial invariants and determine its group of automorphisms. As a consequence, we establish that any two non-nilpotent 3-dimensional…
