We show that given an ordinary differential equation of order four, it may be possible to determine a Lagrangian if the third derivative is absent (or eliminated) from the equation. This represents a subcase of Fels'conditions [M. E. Fels,…

We study Lie bialgebra structures on \emph{flat metric Lie algebras}, that is, Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{g},\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle)$ whose associated left-invariant Riemannian metric on the simply connected Lie group $G$ has zero…

Let F be a field of characteristic not 2 and assume all algebras are over F. We establish several conjugacy theorems for the special linear Lie algebra sl_2 over an F-algebra which is a UFD. We find the structure of the full automorphism…

Given a G-structure with connection satisfying a regularity assumption we associate to it a classifying Lie algebroid. This algebroid contains all the information about the equivalence problem and is an example of a G-structure Lie…

A coassociative Lie algebra is a Lie algebra equipped with a coassociative coalgebra structure satisfying a compatibility condition. The enveloping algebra of a coassociative Lie algebra can be viewed as a coalgebraic deformation of the…

We construct L$_{\infty}$ algebras for general `initial data' given by a vector space equipped with an antisymmetric bracket not necessarily satisfying the Jacobi identity. We prove that any such bracket can be extended to a 2-term…

In this paper we consider (polynomial) solution spaces for the symplectic Dirac operator (with a focus on $1$-homogeneous solutions). This space forms an infinite-dimensional representation space for the symplectic Lie algebra…

In this survey, we discuss a series of linearization problems--for Poisson structures, Lie algebroids, and Lie groupoids. The last problem involves a conjecture on the structure of proper groupoids. Attempting to prove this by the method of…

We study Novikov algebras and Novikov structures on finite-dimensional Lie algebras. We show that a Lie algebra admitting a Novikov structure must be solvable. Conversely we present an example of a nilpotent 2-step solvable Lie algebra…

We consider when the symmetric algebra of an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra, equipped with the natural Poisson bracket, satisfies the ascending chain condition (ACC) on Poisson ideals. We define a combinatorial condition on a graded Lie…

Let $K$ be a nonempty finite subset of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^k$ $(k\ge 2)$. We prove that if a function $f\colon \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathbb{C}$ is such that the sum of $f$ on every congruent copy of $K$ is zero, then $f$ vanishes…

This thesis is concerned with superconformal Chern-Simons theories with matter in 3 dimensions. The interest in these theories is two-fold. On the one hand, it is a new family of theories in which to test the AdS/CFT correspondence and on…

The Mickelsson-Faddeev (MF) algebra can naturally be embedded in a non-Lie algebra, which suggests that it has no Fock representations. The difficulties are due to the inhomogeneous term in the connection's transformation law. Omitting this…

The purpose of this paper is to study finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field k of characteristic zero which admit a commutative polarization (CP). Among the many results and examples, it is shown that, if k is algebraically closed,…

Let $X$ be a Stein manifold of dimension at least 3. Given a compact codimension 2 real analytic submanifold $M$ of $X$, that is the boundary of a compact Levi-flat hypersurface $H$, we study the regularity of $H$. Suppose that the CR…

In this paper, first we construct a Lie 2-algebra associated to every Leibniz algebra via the skew-symmetrization. Furthermore, we introduce the notion of the naive representation for a Leibniz algebra in order to realize the abstract…

In this paper we prove that every H-type Lie algebra possesses a basis with respect to which the structure constants are integers. Existence of such an integral basis implies via the Mal'cev criterion that all simply connected H-type Lie…

Let $\omega_\mathfrak{g}$ be a Lie algebra valued differential $1$-form on a manifold $M$ satisfying the structure equations $d \omega_\mathfrak{g} + \frac{1}{2} \omega_\mathfrak{g}\wedge \omega_\mathfrak{g}=0$ where $\mathfrak{g}$ is…

The main result of this paper shows that if $\mathcal{M}$ is a consistent strong linear Maltsev condition which does not imply the existence of a cube term, then for any finite algebra $\mathbb{A}$ there exists a new finite algebra…

We show how one can associate to a given class of finite type G-structures a classifying Lie algebroid. The corresponding Lie groupoid gives models for the different geometries that one can find in the class, and encodes also the different…
