An algebra is said to be quasi-directly finite when any left-invertible element in its unitization is automatically right-invertible. It is an old observation of Kaplansky that the von Neumann algebra of a discrete group has this property;…

We generalize, to any space-time dimension, the unitarity bounds of highest weight UIR's of the conformal groups with Lie algebras $so(2,d)$. We classify gauge theories invariant under $so(2,d)$, both integral and half-integral spins. A…

We modify the Hochschild $\phi$-map to construct central extensions of a restricted Lie algebra. Such central extension gives rise to a group scheme which leads to a geometric construction of unrestricted representations. For a classical…

We consider the Lie-algebra of the group of diffeomorphisms of d-dimensional torus which is also known to be the algebra of derivations on a Laurent polynomial ring A in d commuting variables denoted by DerA. Larsson has constructed a large…

A well-known and old result of Hazewinkel and Koszul states that the cohomology of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra is isomorphic, up to a suitable shift, to its twisted homology, a Lie-theoretical version of Poincare duality. This paper…

The universal enveloping algebra of any simple Lie algebra g contains a family of commutative subalgebras, called the quantum shift of argument subalgebras math.RT/0606380, math.QA/0612798. We prove that generically their action on…

Given a (smooth) action of a Lie group G on Rd we construct a DGA whose Maurer-Cartan elements are in one to one correspondence with some class of defomations of the (induced) G-action on the ring of formal power series with coefficients in…

Let $f$ be a Hochschild $2$-cocycle and let $A_f$ be an infinitesimal deformation of an associative finite dimensional algebra $A$ over an algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$. We investigate the algebra structure of the Ext-algebra of $A_f$…

We study the Lie module structure given by the Gerstenhaber bracket on the Hochschild cohomology groups of a monomial algebra with radical square zero. The description of such Lie module structure will be given in terms of the combinatorics…

We show that the category of graded modules over a finite-dimensional graded algebra admitting a triangular decomposition can be endowed with the structure of a highest weight category. When the algebra is self-injective, we show…

We show that certain determinantal functions of multiple matrices, when summed over the symmetries of the cube, decompose into functions of the original matrices. These are shown to be true in complete generality; that is, no properties of…

We develop the notions of connections and curvature for general Lie-Rinehart algebras without using smoothness assumptions on the base space. We present situations when a connection exists. E.g., this is the case when the underlying module…

The notion of a derived A-infinity algebra arose in the work of Sagave as a natural generalisation of the classical A-infinity algebra, relevant to the case where one works over a commutative ring rather than a field. We develop some of the…

We start studying chiral algebras (as defined by A. Beilinson and V. Drinfeld) from the point of view of deformation theory. First, we define the notion of deformation of a chiral algebra on a smooth curve $X$ over a bundle of local…

Given a discrete measured groupoid $\mathcal{G}$, we study properties of the corresponding von Neumann algebra $L(\mathcal{G})$ using the techniques of Popa's deformation/rigidity theory. More specifically, we define and study the Gaussian…

We give a survey on the theory of representation-finite and certain minimal representation-infinite algebras.The main goals are the existence of multiplicative bases and of coverings with good properties. Both are attained via…

We show that morphisms from n A_infinity-algebras to a single one are maps over an operad module with n+1 commuting actions of the operad A_infinity, whose algebras are conventional A_infinity-algebras. Similar statement holds for homotopy…

In this article, we introduce the notion of a curved absolute $\mathcal{L}_\infty$-algebra, a structure that behaves like a curved $\mathcal{L}_\infty$-algebra where all infinite sums of operations are well-defined by definition. We develop…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0 and let G be a symplectic or general linear group over k. We consider induced modules for G under the assumption that p is bigger than the greatest hook length in the partitions…

The Grigorchuk and Gupta-Sidki groups play fundamental role in modern group theory. Their natural analogues are self-similar nil Lie $p$-algebras. In characteristic zero, similar examples of Lie algebras do not exist (Martinez and…
