We consider generalizations of the Vieta formula (relating the coefficients of an algebraic equation to the roots) to the case of equations whose coefficients are order-$k$ matrices. Specifically, we prove that if $X_1,\dots ,X_n$ are…
This is an English translation of a paper by the French physicist Alfred Potier (1840-1905) that originally appeared 150 years ago [A. Potier, ``Recherches sur l'int\'egration d'un syst\`eme d'\'equations aux diff\'erentielles partielles…
Alain Connes introduced the use of Lie groupoids in noncommutative geometry in his pioneering work on the index theory of foliations. In the present paper, we recall the basic notion involved: groupoids, their C*-algebras, their…
This article presents the emergence of formal methods in theory of partial differential equations (PDE) in the french school of mathematics through Janet's work in the period 1913-1930. In his thesis and in a series of articles published…
In this paper, we consider the big algebra recently introduced by Hausel for the $\mathrm{GL}_n$-action on the coordinate ring of the matrix space $\mathrm{Mat}(n,r)$. In particular, we obtain explicit formulas for the big algebra…
We develop a graphical notation to introduce classical Lie algebras. Although this paper deals with well-known results, our pictorial point of view is slightly different to the traditional one. Our graphical notation is fairly elementary…
The expression "Algebraic Analysis" was coined by Mikio Sato. It consists of using algebraic notions to solve analytic problem. The origin of Algebraic Analysis is Algebraic Geometry as was developed by Alexander Grothendieck and his…
Given a vector space with an action of a semi-simple Lie algebra, we can try to "categorify" this representation, which means finding a category where the generators of the Lie algebra act by functors. Such categorical representations arise…
This is an introduction to geometric algebra, an alternative to traditional vector algebra that expands on it in two ways: 1. In addition to scalars and vectors, it defines new objects representing subspaces of any dimension. 2. It defines…
We introduce a purely Lie algebraic formalization of the Feigin--Tipunin's geometric construction of logarithmic CFTs/VOAs. After reformulating the geometric representation theory of FT construction under this new setting, within this…
In his G\'eom\'etrie (1637) Descartes introduces the algebra of segments. This is a fundamental step in the mathematical treatment of variable quantities before the creation of differential calculus. It is an algebra with symbols but…
We generalize the notion, introduced by Henri Cartan, of an operation of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ in a graded differential algebra $\Omega$. We define the notion of an operation of a Hopf algebra $\mathcal H$ in a graded differential…
This book is mainly an exposition of the author's works and his joint works with his former students on explicit representations of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras, related partial differential equations, linear orthogonal algebraic…
Plato is well-known in mathematics for the eponymous foundational philosophy Platonism based on ideal objects. Plato's allegory of the cave provides a powerful visual illustration of the idea that we only have access to shadows or…
This is a translation from French into English of Argand's "Reflexions sur la nouvelle th\'eorie des imaginaires, suivies d'une application \`a la d\'emonstration d'un th\'eor\`eme d'analise", published in 1815. Argand reprises the method…
Families of operator identities appeared as a consequence of an existence of finite-dimensional representation of (super) Lie algebras of first-order differential operators and $q$-deformed (quantum) algebras of first-order…
In the 1970s, William Tutte developed a clever algebraic approach, based on certain "invariants", to solve a functional equation that arises in the enumeration of properly colored triangulations. The enumeration of plane lattice walks…
Tate introduced in [Ta71] the notion of Tate algebras to serve, in the context of analytic geometry over the-adics, as a counterpart of polynomial algebras in classical algebraic geometry. In [CVV19, CVV20] the formalism of Gr{\"o}bner…
In the 1950s and 1960s Tate proved some duality theorems in the Galois cohomology of finite modules and abelian varieties. As for most of Tate's work this has had a profound influence on mathematics with many applications and further…
We study the elliptic algebras $Q_{n,k}(E,\tau)$ introduced by Feigin and Odesskii as a generalization of Sklyanin algebras. They form a family of quadratic algebras parametrized by coprime integers $n>k\geq 1$, an elliptic curve $E$, and a…
