For closed and oriented hyperbolic surfaces, a formula of Witten establishes an equality between two volume forms on the space of representations of the surface in a semisimple Lie group. One of the forms is a Reidemeister torsion, the…

This article explores some simple examples of L-infinity algebras and the construction of miniversal deformations of these structures. Among other things, it is shown that there are two families of nonequivalent L-infinity structures on a…

If A is a graded connected algebra then we define a new invariant, polydepth A, which is finite if $Ext_A^*(M,A) \neq 0$ for some A-module M of at most polynomial growth. Theorem 1: If f : X \to Y is a continuous map of finite category, and…

In order to understand the structure of the cohomologies involved in the study of projectively equivariant quantizations, we introduce a notion of affine representation of a Lie algebra.We show how it is related to linear representations…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field, $R$ be an associative and commutative $\mathbb{K}$-algebra and $L$ be a Lie algebra over $\mathbb{K}$. We give some descriptions of injections from $L$ to Lie algebra of $\mathbb{K}$-derivations of $R$ in the…

Let $P(N,V)$ denote the vector space of polynomials of maximal degree less than or equal to $N$ in $V$ independent variables. This space is preserved by the enveloping algebra generated by a set of linear, differential operators…

We continue our study of zero-dimensional field theories in which the fields take values in a strong homotopy Lie algebra. In a first part, we review in detail how higher Chern-Simons theories arise in the AKSZ-formalism. These theories…

The notion of Weyl modules, both local and global, goes back to Chari and Pressley in the case of affine Lie algebras, and has been extensively studied for various Lie algebras graded by root systems. We extend that definition to a certain…

We study finite-dimensional representations of hyper loop algebras over non-algebraically closed fields. The main results concern the classification of the irreducible representations, the construction of the Weyl modules, base change,…

We give information about finite-dimensional Lie algebras and their representations for model building in 4 and 5 dimensions; e.g., conjugacy classes, types of representations, Weyl dimensional formulas, Dynkin indices, quadratic Casimir…

We give criteria for finite dimensionality or infinite dimensionality of the polynomial centralizer of the Lie algebra of a linear Lie group, in terms of invariants and relative invariants of the group. In the finite dimensional scenario…

The totality Lie(V) of all Lie algebra structures on a vector space V over a field F is an algebraic variety over F on which the group GL(V) acts naturally. We give an explicit description of Lie(V) for dim V=3 which is based on the notion…

Thin Lie algebras are infinite-dimensional graded Lie algebras $L=\bigoplus_{i=1}^{\infty}$, with $\dim(L_1)=2$ and satisfying a covering property: for each $i$, each nonzero $z\in L_i$ satisfies $[zL_1]=L_{i+1}$. It follows that each…

The paper is devoted to the complete classification of all real Lie algebras of contact vector fields on the first jet space of one-dimensional submanifolds in the plane. This completes Sophus Lie's classification of all possible Lie…

We prove nilpotency results for Lie algebras over an arbitrary field admitting a derivation, which satisfies a given polynomial identity $r(t)=0$. For the polynomial $r=t^n-1$ we obtain results on the nilpotency of Lie algebras admitting a…

By the result of Dixmier, any weight space of enveloping algebra of Lie algebra L over a field of characteristic 0 is adL stable. In this paper we will show that this result need not be true, if F is replaced by a field of prime…

The study of global deformations of Lie algebras is related to the problem of classification of simple Lie algebras over fields of small characteristic. The classification of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras is complete over…

A Lie algebra L is known to be nilpotent if it admits a grading by (Zp, +) with support X not containing 0. It is also known that the class of L can be bounded by some explicit function of |X|. We generalise this and other classical results…
