We discuss In\"on\"u-Wigner contractions of affine Kac-Moody algebras. We show that the Sugawara construction for the contracted affine algebra exists only for a fixed value of the level $k$, which is determined in terms of the dimension of…
We study generic graded contractions of Lie algebras from the perspectives of group cohomology, affine algebraic geometry and monoidal categories. We show that generic graded contractions with a fixed support are classified by a certain…
We derive the extended Supersymmetric Galilean Conformal Algebra (SGCA) in two spacetime dimensions by the method of group contraction on $2d$ $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ superconformal algebra. Both the parent and daughter algebras are…
By means of the Lie algebra expansion method, the centrally extended conformal algebra in two dimensions and the $\mathfrak{bms}_{3}$ algebra are obtained from the Virasoro algebra. We extend this result to construct new families of…
Representation theory of an infinite dimensional Galilean conformal algebra introduced by Martelli and Tachikawa is developed. We focus on the algebra defined in (2+1) dimensional spacetime and consider central extension. It is then shown…
Multidimensional contractions of irreducible representations of the Cayley-Klein unitary algebras in the Gel'fand-Zetlin basis are considered. Contracted over different parameters, algebras can turn out to be isomorphic. In this case method…
l-Conformal Galilei algebra, denoted by g{l}{d}, is a non-semisimple Lie algebra specified by a pair of parameters (d,l). The algebra is regarded as a nonrelativistic analogue of the conformal algebra. We derive hierarchies of partial…

After classifying indecomposable quasi-classical Lie algebras in low dimension, and showing the existence of non-reductive stable quasi-classical Lie algebras, we focus on the problem of obtaining sufficient conditions for a quasi-classical…
Conformal Galilei algebra contains so(1,2) subalgebra which is the conformal algebra in one dimension. In this note we generalize methods previously developed for one-dimensional many-body systems and construct a unitary map relating a…
Theoretical background of continuous contractions of finite-dimensional Lie algebras is rigorously formulated and developed. In particular, known necessary criteria of contractions are collected and new criteria are proposed. A number of…
The general solution of the graded contraction equations for a $\zz_2^{\otimes N}$ grading of the real compact simple Lie algebra $so(N+1)$ is presented in an explicit way. It turns out to depend on $2^N-1$ independent real parameters. The…
Graded contractions of certain non-toral $\mathbb{Z}_2^3$-gradings on the simple Lie algebras $\mathfrak{so}(7,\mathbb C)$ and $\f{so}(8,\mathbb C)$ are classified up to two notions of equivalence. In particular, there arise two large…
Chord diagrams and combinatorics of word algebras are used to model products of Dirac matrices, their traces, and contractions. A simple formula for the result of arbitrary contractions is derived, simplifying and extending an old…
We present a new method to find solutions of the Virasoro master equations for any affine Lie algebra $\widehat{g}$. The basic idea is to consider first the simplified case of an In\"on\"u-Wigner contraction $\widehat{g}_c$ of $\widehat{g}$…
Tensor hierarchy algebras are infinite-dimensional generalisations of Cartan-type Lie superalgebras. They are not contragredient, exhibiting an asymmetry between positive and negative levels. These superalgebras have been a focus of…
We study $\Bbb Z_2^{\otimes N}$ graded contractions of the real compact simple Lie algebra $so(N+1)$, and we identify within them the Cayley-Klein algebras as a naturally distinguished subset.
Our approach to higher order Fourier analysis is to study the ultra product of finite (or compact) Abelian groups on which a new algebraic theory appears. This theory has consequences on finite (or compact) groups usually in the form of…
We review the construction of Lagrangians for higher spin fields of mixed symmetry in the framework of graded geometry. The main advantage of the graded formalism in this context is that it provides universal expressions, in the sense that…
It is shown that the N-Galilean conformal algebra, with N-odd, is the maximal symmetry algebra of the free Lagrangian involving (N+1)/2-th order time derivative.
