Let M be a paracompact smooth manifold of dimension n; A a Weil algebra and M^A the Weil bundle associated. We define and describe the notion of \widetilded-Poisson cohomology and of \widetilded^A -Poisson cohomology on M^A.

Double-bosonisation associates to a braided group in the category of modules of a quantum group, a new quantum group. We announce the semiclassical version of this inductive construction.

This paper gives a first step toward extending the theory of Fourier-Stieltjes algebras from groups to groupoids. If G is a locally compact (second countable) groupoid, we show that B(G), the linear span of the Borel positive definite…

Many interesting C*-algebras can be viewed as quantizations of Poisson manifolds. I propose that a Poisson manifold may be quantized by a twisted polarized convolution C*-algebra of a symplectic groupoid. Toward this end, I define…

Studying the M-branes leads us naturally to new structures that we call Membrane-, Membrane^c-, String^K(Z,3)- and Fivebrane^K(Z,4)-structures, which we show can also have twisted counterparts. We study some of their basic properties,…

We present a general theory of braided quantum groups in the C*-algebraic framework using the language of multiplicative unitaries. Starting with a manageable multiplicative unitary in the representation category of the quantum codouble of…

We present an algebraic framework for the computation of low-degree cohomology of a class of bigraded complexes which arise in Poisson geometry around (pre)symplectic leaves. We also show that this framework can be applied to the more…

A Banach space characterization of simple real or complex $C^*$-algebras is given which even characterizes the underlying field. As an application, it is shown that if $\mathfrak A_1$ and $\mathfrak A_2$ are Birkhoff-James isomorphic simple…

We introduce the notion of a (noncommutative) C*-Segal algebra as a Banach algebra which is a dense ideal in a C*-algebra. Several basic properties are investigated and, with the aid of the theory of multiplier modules, the structure of…

We look at the Poisson structure on the total space of the dual bundle to the Lie algebroid arising from a matched pair of Lie groups. This dual bundle, with the natural semidirect product group structure, becomes a Poisson-Lie group as…

We detail the construction of a weak Poisson bracket over a submanifold of a smooth manifold M with respect to a local foliation of this submanifold. Such a bracket satisfies a weak type Jacobi identity but may be viewed as a usual Poisson…

In this work, we construct and study certain classes of infinite dimensional Lie groups that are modelled on weighted function spaces. In particular, we construct a Lie group of weighted diffeomorphisms on a Banach space. Further, we also…

We show that the structure constants of W-algebras can be grouped according to the lowest (bosonic) spin(s) of the algebra. The structure constants in each group are described by a unique formula, depending on a functional parameter h(c)…

Let (M, {\pi} ) be a Poisson manifold. A Poisson submanifold $P \in M$ gives rise to an algebroid $AP \rightarrow P$, to which we associate certain chomology groups which control formal deformations of {\pi} around P . Assuming that these…

We construct local bihamiltonian structures from classical $W$-algebras associated to non-regular nilpotent elements of regular semisimple type in Lie algebras of type $A_2$ and $A_3$. They form exact Poisson pencil, admit a dispersionless…

We study Banach spaces satisfying some geometric or structural properties involving tightness of transfinite sequences of nested linear subspaces. These properties are much weaker than WCG and closely related to Corson's property (C). Given…

Studying the topological aspects of M-branes in M-theory leads to various structures related to Wu classes. First we interpret Wu classes themselves as twisted classes and then define twisted notions of Wu structures. These generalize many…

This article is devoted to the investigation of structure of wrap groups of connected fiber bundles over the fields of real $\bf R$, complex $\bf C$ numbers, the quaternion skew field $\bf H$ and the octonion algebra $\bf O$. Iterated wrap…

For any Lie groupoid $G$, the vector bundle $g^*$ dual to the associated Lie algebroid $g$ is canonically a Poisson manifold. The (reduced) C*-algebra of $G$ (as defined by A. Connes) is shown to be a strict quantization (in the sense of M.…

Let G be a connected, simply connected Poisson-Lie group with quasitriangular Lie bialgebra g. An explicit description of the double D(g) is given, together with the embeddings of g and g^*. This description is then used to provide a…
