In this paper we study some affine structures on nilpotent Lie algebras endowed with a contact form. These affine structures are constructed from an affine structure on a symplectic Lie algebra by a central extension.

We deal with some aspects of the theory of conformal embeddings of affine vertex algebras, providing a new proof of the Symmetric Space Theorem and a criterion for conformal embeddings of equal rank subalgebras. We finally study some…

We study centralizers of elements in domains. We generalize a result of the author and Small, showing that if $A$ is a finitely generated noetherian domain and $a\in A$ is not algebraic over the extended centre of $A$, then the centralizer…

We study the center of $U(\mathfrak{n})$, where $\mathfrak{n}$ is the locally nilpotent radical of a splitting Borel subalgebra of a simple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}_{\infty}(\mathbb{C})$,…

In this paper we generalize certain results concerning quantum affine algebra $U_{q}(\hat{sl_{2}})$ at the critical level to the corresponding elliptic case $E_{q,p}(\hat{sl_2})$. Using the Wakimoto realization of the algebra…

In our paper~\cite{KR} we began a systematic study of representations of the universal central extension $\widehat{\Cal D}\/$ of the Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle. This study was continued in the paper~\cite{FKRW} in…

Classical affine Lie algebras appear e.g. as symmetries of infinite dimensional integrable systems and are related to certain differential equations. They are central extensions of current algebras associated to finite-dimensional Lie…

Suppose a Lie group $G$ acts on a vertex algebra $V$. In this article we construct a vertex algebra $\tilde{V}$, which is an extension of $V$ by a big central vertex subalgebra identified with the algebra of functionals on the space of…

Let $K$ be a field, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$, and let $\delta$ be a derivation of $K$. We show that if $D$ is one of $K(x;\sigma)$ or $K(x;\delta)$, then $D$ either contains a free algebra over its center on two generators, or…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $A = K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ the polynomial ring, $R = K(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ the field of rational functions, and let $W_n(K) = \Der_{K}A$ be the Lie algebra of all $K$-derivations on…

We classify certain non-linear Lie conformal algebras with three generators, which can be viewed as deformations of the current Lie conformal algebra of sl_2. In doing so we discover an interesting 1-parameter family of non-linear Lie…

We obtain several restrictions on the terms of the ascending central series of a nilpotent Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ under the presence of a complex structure $J$. In particular, we find a bound for the dimension of the center of $\mathfrak…

We study the center of several types of path algebras. We start with the path algebra $KE$ and prove that if the number of vertices is infinite then the center is zero. Otherwise, it coincides with the field $K$ except when the graph $E$ is…

According to a conjecture of Lusztig, the asymptotic affine Hecke algebra should admit a description in terms of the Grothedieck group of sheaves on the square of a finite set equivariant under the action of the centralizer of a nilpotent…

In this paper we consider centralizers of single elements in Ore extensions of the ring of polynomials in one variable over a field. We show that they are commutative and finitely generated as an algebra. We also show that for certain…

A result of Barnea and Isaacs states that if $L$ is a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra with exactly two distinct centralizer dimensions, then nilpotency class of $L$ is either $2$ or $3$. In this article, we classify all such finite…

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…

Meta-centralizers of non-locally compact group algebras are studied. Theorems about their representations with the help of families of generalized measures are proved. Isomorphisms of group algebras are investigated in relation with…

Let $k$ be a field and let $A=\bigoplus_{n\ge 1}A_n$ be a positively graded $k$-algebra. We recall that $A$ is graded nilpotent if for every $d\ge 1$, the subalgebra of $A$ generated by elements of degree $d$ is nilpotent. We give a method…

The problem of finding generators of the subalgebra of invariants under the action of a group of automorphisms of a finite dimensional Lie algebra on its universal enveloping algebra is reduced to finding homogeneous generators of the same…
