Elie Cartan's general equivalence problem is recast in the language of Lie algebroids. The resulting formalism, being coordinate and model-free, allows for a full geometric interpretation of Cartan's method of equivalence via reduction and…

Let $\sigma$ be a simple involution of an algebraic semisimple group $G$ and let $H$ be the subgroup of $G$ of points fixed by $\sigma$. If the restricted root system is of type $A$, $C$ or $BC$ and $G$ is simply connected or if the…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a vector space and $[,],[,]'$ be a pair of Lie brackets on $\mathfrak{g}$. By definition they are compatible if $[,]+[,]'$ is again a Lie bracket. Such pairs play important role in bihamiltonian and $r$-matrix…

With each antiholomorphic involution $\sigma $ of a connected complex semisimple Lie group $G$ we associate an automorphism $\epsilon_\sigma$ of the Dynkin diagram. The definition of $\epsilon_\sigma$ is given in terms of the Satake diagram…

Given a central simple algebra with involution over an arbitrary field, \'etale subalgebras contained in the space of symmetric elements are investigated. The method emphasizes the similarities between the various types of involutions and…

There is renewed interest in the coideal subalgebras used to form quantum symmetric pairs because of recent discoveries showing that they play a fundamental role in the representation theory of quantized enveloping algebras. However, there…

We study certain "\sigma-commuting varieties" associated with a pair of commuting involutions of a semisimple Lie algebra $\g$. The usual commuting variety of $\g$ and commuting varieties related to one involution are particular cases of…

Following our approach to metric Lie algebras developed in math.DG/0312243 we propose a way of understanding pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces which are not semi-simple. We introduce cohomology sets (called quadratic cohomology) associated…

The present paper is a continuation of [5], where Lie bialgebra structures on g[u] were studied. These structures fall into different classes labelled by the vertices of the extended Dynkin diagram of g. In [5] the Lie bialgebras…

We consider the semisimple orbits of a Vinberg $\theta$-representation. First we take the complex numbers as base field. By a case by case analysis we show a technical result stating the equality of two sets of hyperplanes, one…

We establish a correspondence between automorphisms and derivations on certain algebras of generalised power series. In particular, we describe a Lie algebra of derivations on a field $k(\!(G)\!)$ of generalised power series, exploiting our…

An algorithm for embedding finite dimensional Lie algebras into Lie algebras of vector fields (and Lie superalgebras into Lie superalgebras of vector fields) is offered in a way applicable over ground fields of any characteristic. The…
