Rota--Baxter operators $R$ of weight $1$ on $\mathfrak{n}$ are in bijective correspondence to post-Lie algebra structures on pairs $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{n})$, where $\mathfrak{n}$ is complete. We use such Rota--Baxter operators to study…
This paper is the first in a series of three, the aim of which is to lay the foundations of algebraic geometry over the free metabelian Lie algebra $F$. In the current paper we introduce the notion of a metabelian Lie $U$-algebra and…
We generalize I. Frenkel's orbital theory for non twisted affine Lie algebras to the case of twisted affine Lie algebras using a character formula for certain non-connected compact Lie groups.
In a recent paper by Zhao and the author, the Lie algebras $A[D]=A\otimes F[D]$ of Weyl type were defined and studied, where $A$ is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field $F$ of any characteristic, and…
We find automorphic form corrections which are generalized Lorentzian Kac--Moody superalgebras without odd real simple roots (see R. Borcherds \cite{Bo1} -- \cite{Bo7}, V. Kac \cite{Ka1} -- \cite{Ka3}, R. Moody \cite{Mo} and \S~6 of this…
We show that the representation theory for the toroidal extended affine Lie algebras is controlled by a vertex operator algebra which is a tensor product of four VOAs: a sub-VOA of the hyperbolic lattice VOA, two affine VOAs and a Virasoro…
We adapt methods from the theory of complex semisimple Lie algebras to develop a root theory for a class of simple $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$-graded (color) Lie algebras, which we call basic. As an application, assuming that the…
We overview classifications of simple infinite-dimensional complex $\mathbb{Z}$-graded Lie (super)algebras of polynomial growth, and their deformations. A subset of such Lie (super)algebras consist of vectorial Lie (super)algebras whose…
We construct four new series of generalized simple Lie algebras of Cartan type, using the mixtures of grading operators and down-grading operators. Our results in this paper are further generalizations of those in Osborn's work ``New simple…
The Kantor-Koecher-Tits construction associates a Lie algebra to any Jordan algebra. We generalize this construction to include also extensions of the associated Lie algebra. In particular, the conformal realization of so(p+1,q+1)…
We study canonical filtrations of finite-dimensional associative algebras and Lie algebras. These filtrations are defined via optimal destabilizing one-parameter subgroups in the sense of geometric invariant theory (GIT), and appear to be a…
We study non-selfadjoint representations of a finite dimensional real Lie algebra $\fg$. To this end we embed a non-selfadjoint representation of $\fg$ into a more complicated structure, that we call a $\fg$-operator vessel and that is…
We present a method for associating labeled directed graphs to finite-dimensional Lie algebras, thereby enabling rapid identification of key structural algebraic features. To formalize this approach, we introduce the concept of…
We determine the Batalin-Vilkovisky Lie algebra structure for the integral loop homology of special unitary groups and complex Stiefel manifolds. It is shown to coincide with the Poisson algebra structure associated to a certain odd…
The well-known Loday-Quillen-Tsygan theorem calculates the Lie algebra homology of the infinite general linear Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}(A)$ over an unital associative algebra $A$. We generalize the Loday-Quillen-Tsygan theorem to an…
We give an algorithm for constructing the algebraic hull of a given matrix Lie algebra in characteristic zero. It is based on an algorithm for finding integral linear dependencies of the roots of a polynomial, that is probably of…
A finite W-algebra is an associative algebra constructed from a semisimple Lie algebra and its nilpotent element. In this survey we review recent developments in the representation theory of W-algebras. We emphasize various interactions…
We present a general vertex operator construction based on the Fock space for an affine Lie algebras of type $A$. This construction allows us to give a unified treatment for both the homogeneous and principle realizations of the affine Lie…
This paper examines an algebraic variety that controls an important part of the structure and representation theory of the algebra $Q_{n,k}(E,\tau)$ introduced by Feigin and Odesskii. The $Q_{n,k}(E,\tau)$'s are a family of quadratic…
We construct characteristic identities for the split (polarized) Casimir operators of the simple Lie algebras in adjoint representation. By means of these characteristic identities, for all simple Lie algebras we derive explicit formulae…
