In this expository paper we give an elementary, hands-on computation of the homology of the little disks operad, showing that the homology of a $d-fold loop space is a Poisson algebra. One aim is to familiarize a greater audience with…
The article studies power complexes and generalized power complexes, and investigates the algebraic structure of their automorphism groups. The combinatorial incidence structures involved are cube-like, in the sense that they have many…
Given a commutative algebra $A$ and a quotient $A$-algebra $A/I$, we construct a resolution of $A/I$ as an $A$-module such that it is also a differential graded (dg) algebra with divided powers (PD). This construction makes use of symmetric…
We study associative multiplications in semi-simple associative algebras over C compatible with the usual one or, in other words, linear deformations of semi-simple associative algebras over C. It turns out that these deformations are in…
A generalization of power associative algebra, called Hom-power associative algebra, is studied. The main result says that a multiplicative Hom-algebra is Hom-power associative if and only if it satisfies two identities of degrees three and…
The linearization of a quadratic form gives rise to a Clifford algebra structure, as seen in Dirac's factorization of the d'Alembert operator. A similar structure known as a generalized Clifford algebra arises from the continuation of this…
Deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds is studied within the framework of an expansion in powers of derivatives of Poisson structures. We construct the Lie group associated with a Poisson bracket algebra which defines a second order…
This paper establishes a uniform procedure to split the operations in any algebraic operad, generalizing previous known notions of splitting algebraic structures from the dendriform algebra of Loday that splits the associative operation to…
We develop deformation theory of algebras over quadratic operads where the parameter space is a commutative local algebra. We also give a construction of a distinguised deformation of an algebra over a quadratic operad with a complete local…
We develop a diagrammatic categorification of the polynomial ring Z[x], based on a geometrically defined graded algebra. This construction generalizes to categorification of some special functions, such as Chebyshev polynomials.…
This work presents a detailed analysis of the combinatorics of modular operads. These are operad-like structures that admit a contraction operation as well as an operadic multiplication. Their combinatorics are governed by graphs that admit…
Power law distributions have been found in many natural and social phenomena, and more recently in the source code and run-time characteristics of Object-Oriented (OO) systems. A power law implies that small values are extremely common,…
The essential parts of the operad algebra are concisely presented, which should be useful when confronting with the operadic physics. It is also clarified how the Gerstenhaber algebras can be associated with the linear pre-operads (comp…
In this paper, we propose a novel algebraic and geometric description for the dissipative dynamics. Our formulation bears some similarity to the Poisson structure for non-dissipative systems. We develop a canonical description for…
This survey provides an elementary introduction to operads and to their applications in homotopical algebra. The aim is to explain how the notion of an operad was prompted by the necessity to have an algebraic object which encodes higher…
We construct a differential graded Lie algebra $\fg$ controlling the Poisson deformations of an affine Poisson variety. We analyse $\fg$ in the case of affine Gorenstein toric Poisson varieties. Moreover, explicit description of the second…
The paper is devoted to the study of evolution algebras that are power-associative algebras. We give the Wedderburn decomposition of evolution algebras that are power-associative algebras and we prove that these algebras are Jordan…
A Hom-type generalization of non-commutative Poisson algebras, called non-commutative Hom-Poisson algebras, are studied. They are closed under twisting by suitable self-maps. Hom-Poisson algebras, in which the Hom-associative product is…
Let $A=F[x,y]$ be the polynomial algebra on two variables $x,y$ over an algebraically closed field $F$ of characteristic zero. Under the Poisson bracket, $A$ is equipped with a natural Lie algebra structure. It is proven that the maximal…
Using the theory of noncommutative symmetric functions, we introduce the higher order peak algebras, a sequence of graded Hopf algebras which contain the descent algebra and the usual peak algebra as initial cases (N = 1 and N = 2). We…
