This work explores the deformation theory of algebraic structures in a very general setting. These structures include commutative, associative algebras, Lie algebras, and the infinity versions of these structures, the strongly homotopy…
The study of the relation between Lie algebras and groups, and especially the derivation of new algebras from them, is a problem of great interest in mathematics and physics, because finding a new Lie group from an already known one also…
We study growth and complexity of \'etale groupoids in relation to growth of their convolution algebras. As an application, we construct simple finitely generated algebras of arbitrary Gelfand-Kirillov dimension $\ge 2$ and simple finitely…
We show that Golod-Shafarevich algebras can be homomorphically mapped onto infinite-dimensional algebras with polynomial growth, under mild assumptions of the number of relations of given degrees. In case these algebras are finitely…
We consider endomorphism actions of arbitrary discrete semigroups on a connected metrizable topological group G. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for expansiveness of such actions when G is a Lie group or a compact…
We study the connection between the dimension of certain spaces of harmonic functions on a group and its geometric and algebraic properties. Our main result shows that (for sufficiently "nice" random walk measures) a connected, compactly…
We describe infinite-dimensional Leibniz algebras whose associated Lie algebra is the Witt algebra and we prove the triviality of low-dimensional Leibniz cohomology groups of the Witt algebra with the coefficients in itself.
This is a short presentation of some classical results on finite dimensional complex Lie algebras (classification of nilpotent Lie algebras, deformations and perturbations, contractions and rigidity). We present some applications to…
Let k be a field of characteristic not two or three, let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional colour Lie algebra and let V be a finite-dimensional representation of $\mathfrak{g}$. In this article we give various ways of constructing a…
EI categories can be thought of as amalgams of finite posets and finite groups and therefore the associated algebras are built up from incidence algebras and group algebras of finite groups. For this particular class of algebras we present…
The space of Lie algebra cohomology is usually described by the dimensions of components of certain degree even for the adjoint module as coefficients when the spaces of cochains and cohomology can be endowed with a Lie superalgebra…
The strong homotopy Lie algebra, controlling simultaneous deformations of a morphism of associative algebras and its domain and codomain is constructed. Isomorphism of the cohomology of this strong homotopy Lie algebra with the classical…
We investigate the rate of growth of the function of n which counts the number of complex irreducible representations of a fixed group of degree less than or equal to n. The emphasis is on linear groups, especially compact real and p-adic…
A quadratic Lie algebra is a Lie algebra endowed with a symmetric, invariant and non degenerate bilinear form; such a bilinear form is called an invariant metric. The aim of this work is to describe the general structure of those central…
We show that quadratic growth of a semi-algebraic function is equivalent to strong metric subregularity of the subdifferential --- a kind of stability of generalized critical points. In contrast, this equivalence can easily fail outside of…
Hilbert--Lie groups are Lie groups whose Lie algebra is a real Hilbert space whose scalar product is invariant under the adjoint action. These infinite-dimensional Lie groups are the closest relatives to compact Lie groups. Here we study…
In this paper, we give a purely cohomological interpretation of the extension problem for (super) Lie algebras; that is the problem of extending a Lie algebra by another Lie algebra. We then give a similar interpretation of infinitesimal…
The purpose of this paper is to show how central extensions of (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie algebras integrate to central extensions of \'etale Lie 2-groups. In finite dimensions, central extensions of Lie algebras integrate to…
An infinite-dimensional Lie Algebra is proposed which includes, in its subalgebras and limits, most Lie Algebras routinely utilized in physics. It relies on the finite oscillator Lie group, and appears applicable to twisted noncommutative…
We study codimension growth of infinite dimensional Lie superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We prove that if a Lie superalgebra $L$ is a Grassmann envelope of a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra then…
