Let $\U$ be a von Neumann algebra with a projection $P\in \U$. For any $A_1,A_2,\ldots,A_n\in\U,$ define $p_1(A_1)=A_1,$ $p_n (A_1,A_2,\ldots,A_n)=[p_{n-1} (A_1,A_2,\ldots,A_{n-1}),A_n]$ for all integers $n\geq 2,$ where $[A,B]=AB-BA$…

We construct a universal continuous invariant bilinear form for the Lie algebra of compactly supported sections of a Lie algebra bundle in a topological sense. Moreover we construct a universal continuous central extension of a current…

A Lie groupoid, called \textit{material Lie groupoid}, is associated in a natural way to any elastic material. The corresponding Lie algebroid, called \textit{material algebroid}, is used to characterize the uniformity and the homogeneity…

The gauge theoretical formulation of general relativity is presented. We are only concerned with local intrinsic geometry, i.e. our space-time is an open subset of a four-dimensional real vector space. Then the gauge group is the set of…

Let X be a normal variety endowed with an algebraic torus action. An additive group action $\alpha$ on X is called vertical if a general orbit of $\alpha$ is contained in the closure of an orbit of the torus action and the image of the…

We prove that if, for a nontrivial variety of non-associative algebras, every subalgebra of every free algebra is free and $I^2$ is an ideal whenever $I$ is an ideal, then this variety coincides with the variety of all Lie algebras.

A "minimal" generalization of Quantum Mechanics is proposed, where the Lagrangian or the action functional is a mapping from the (classical) states of a system to the Lie algebra of a general compact Lie group, and the wave function takes…

A universal sequence for a group or semigroup $S$ is a sequence of words $w_1, w_2, \ldots$ such that for any sequence $s_1, s_2, \ldots\in S$, the equations $w_n = s_n$, $n\in \mathbb{N}$, can be solved simultaneously in $S$. For example,…

Motivated by the combinatorial properties of products in Lie algebras, we investigate the subset of permutations that naturally appears when we write the long commutator $[x_1, x_2, ..., x_m]$ as a sum of associative monomials. We…

Let X be an analytic vector field on a real or complex 2-manifold, and K a compact set of zeros of X whose fixed point index is not zero. Let A denote the Lie algebra of analytic vector fields Y on M such that at every point of M the values…

We present a unified and completely general formulation of extended geometry, characterised by a Kac-Moody algebra and a highest weight coordinate module. Generalised diffeomorphisms are constructed, as well as solutions to the section…

The connections between Euler's equations on central extensions of Lie algebras and Euler's equations on the original, extended algebras are described. A special infinite sequence of central extensions of nilpotent Lie algebras constructed…

With a nilpotent element in a semisimple Lie algebra g one associates a finitely generated associative algebra W called a W-algebra of finite type. This algebra is obtained from the universal enveloping algebra U(g) by a certain Hamiltonian…

We study isometric actions of Lie $2$-groups on Riemannian groupoids by exhibiting some of their immediate properties and implications. Firstly, we prove an existence result which allows both to obtain 2-equivariant versions of the Slice…

We study Lie algebras generated by extremal elements (i.e., elements spanning inner ideals of L) over a field of characteristic distinct from 2. We prove that any Lie algebra generated by a finite number of extremal elements is finite…

Denote by $\Gamma$ the set of pointwise good sequences. Those are sequences of real numbers $(a_k)$ such that for any measure preserving flow $(U_t)_{t\in \mathbb R}$ on a probability space and for any $f\in L^\infty$, the averages…

It is shown that the homogeneous ergodic bilinear averages with M\"{o}bius or Liouville weight converge almost surely to zero, that is, if $T$ is a map acting on a probability space $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$, and $a,b \in \mathbb{Z}$, then for…

A famous theorem of Dixmier-Malliavin asserts that every smooth, compactly-supported function on a Lie group can be expressed as a finite sum in which each term is the convolution, with respect to Haar measure, of two such functions. We…

We show explicitly a generalised Lie algebra embedded in the positive and negative parts of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum groups of type A_n. Such a generalised Lie algebra satisfy axioms closely related to the ones found by S.L. Woronowicz.…

The automorphism group $Aut(X,\mu)$ of a compact, complete metric space $X$ with a Radon measure $\mu$ is a subgroup of $\mathcal{U}(L^2(X,\mu))$-the unitary group of operators on $L^2(X,\mu)$. The $Aut(X,\mu)$-action on the generalized…
