Let $i:X\hookrightarrow Y$ be a closed embedding of smooth algebraic varieties. Denote by $N$ the normal bundle of $X$ in $Y$. We describe the construction of two Lie-type structures on the shifted bundle $N[-1]$ which encode the…

We define the notion of adjustment for strict Lie 2-groups and provide the complete cocycle description for non-Abelian gerbes with connections whose structure 2-group is an adjusted 2-group. Most importantly, we depart from the common…

In the paper we introduce the notion of twisted derivation of a bialgebra. Twisted derivations appear as infinitesimal symmetries of the category of representations. More precisely they are infinitesimal versions of twisted automorphisms of…

We give an explicit description of the Lie algebra of derivations for a class of infinite dimensional algebras which are given by \'etale descent. The algebras under consideration are twisted forms of central algebras over rings, and…

We introduce and begin to study Lie theoretical analogs of symplectic reflection algebras for a finite cyclic group, which we call "cyclic double affine Lie algebra". We focus on type A : in the finite (resp. affine, double affine) case, we…

The Moyal-Weyl quantization procedure is embedded into the twist formalism of vector fields on phase space. Double application of twists provide most general deformations of Minkowskian Heisenberg-algebras and corresponding quantizations of…

A family of solvable self-dual Lie algebras is presented. There exist a few methods for the construction of non-reductive self-dual Lie algebras: an orthogonal direct product, a double-extension of an Abelian algebra, and a Wigner…

Given a two-dimensional quantum lattice model with an abelian gauge theory interpretation, we investigate a duality operation that amounts to gauging its invertible 1-form symmetry, followed by gauging the resulting 0-form symmetry in a…

The Poisson algebra between the fields involved in the vectorial selfdual action is obtained by means of the reduced action. The conserved charges associated with the invariance under the inhomogeneous Lorentz group are obtained and its…

We consider twisted equivariant K--theory for actions of a compact Lie group $G$ on a space $X$ where all the isotropy subgroups are connected and of maximal rank. We show that the associated rational spectral sequence \`a la Segal has a…

This is the first part of a series of papers where the behaviour of the invariants under twist by Dirichlet characters is studied for $L$-functions of degree 2. Here we show, under suitable conditions, that degree and internal shift remain…

An enhanced Leibniz algebra is an algebraic struture that arises in the context of particular higher gauge theories describing self-interacting gerbes. It consists of a Leibniz algebra $(\mathbb{V},[ \cdot, \cdot ])$, a bilinear form on…

This paper provides a conceptual study of the twisting procedure, which amounts to create functorially new differential graded Lie algebras, associative algebras or operads (as well as their homotopy versions) from a Maurer--Cartan element.…

We consider the space of linear maps from a coassociative coalgebra C into a Lie algebra L. Unless C has a cocommutative coproduct, the usual symmetry properties of the induced bracket on Hom(C,L) fail to hold. We define the concept of…

While higher bundles are of clear relevance to higher gauge theory, examples other than abelian bundle gerbes are hard to come across. One would in particular like to see 2-bundles where the structure 2-group is the String 2-group…

In this note, we initiate the systematic study of the Lie algebra structure of the necklace Lie algebra n of a free algebra in 2d variables. We begin by giving a description of n as an sp(2d)-module. Specializing to d = 1, we decompose n…

Let A_k denote the twisted group algebra of the symmetric group S_k, whose representations correspond to the nonlinear projective representations of S_k. We establish a duality relation between A_k and a Lie superalgebra q(n), sometimes…

We give a review of the extended conformal algebras, known as $W$ algebras, which contain currents of spins higher than 2 in addition to the energy-momentum tensor. These include the non-linear $W_N$ algebras; the linear $W_\infty$ and…

We will introduce an operation "twisting" on Hochschild complex by analogy with Drinfeld's twisting operations. By using the twisting and derived bracket construction, we will study differential graded Lie algebra structures associated with…

For a rational and $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebra $V$ with an automorphism group $G$ of prime order, the fusion rules for twisted $V$-modules are studied, a twisted Verlinde formula which relates fusion rules for $g$-twisted modules…
