We construct a tangent-obstruction theory for Azumaya algebras equipped with a quadratic pair. Under the assumption that either 2 is a global unit or the algebra is of degree 2, we show how the deformation theory of these objects reduces to…
The aim of this paper is to study co-prolongations of central extensions. We construct the obstruction theory for co-prolongations and classify the equivalence classes of these by kernels of a homomorphisms between 2-dimensional cohomology…
Determining which bipartite graphs can be principal graphs of subfactors is an important and difficult question in subfactor theory. Using only planar algebra techniques, we prove a triple point obstruction which generalizes all known…
In the first part of this paper, we propose a uniform interpretation of characteristic classes as obstructions to the reduction of the structure group and to the existence of an equivariant extension of a certain homomorphism defined a…
We introduce the concept of braided alternative bialgebra. The theory of cocycle bicrossproducts for alternative bialgebras is developed. As an application, the extending problem for alternative bialgebra is solved by using some non-abelian…
We introduce the notion of central extension of gerbes on a topological space. We then show that there are obstruction classes to lifting objects and isomorphisms in a central extension. We also discuss pronilpotent gerbes. These results…

The main purpose of this paper is to study restricted formal deformations of restricted Lie-Rinehart algebras in positive characteristic $p$. For $p>2$, we discuss the deformation theory and show that deformations are controlled by the…
We develop the deformation-obstruction calculus for morphisms of complexes with a fixed lift of the codomain, to derived categories of flat nilpotent deformations of abelian categories. As an application, we give an alternative proof that…
We introduce the notion of non commutative truncated polynomial extension of an algebra A. We study two families of these extensions. For the first one we obtain a complete classification and for the second one, which we call upper…
In order to unify the methods which have been applied to various topics such as BRST theory of constraints, Poisson brackets of local functionals, and certain developments in deformation theory, we formulate a new concept which we call the…
This is the first in a sequence of articles exploring the relationship between commutative algebras and $E_\infty$-algebras in characteristic $p$ and mixed characteristic. In this paper we lay the groundwork by defining a new class of…
The interplay between derivations and algebraic structures has been a subject of significant interest and exploration. Inspired by Yau's twist and the Leibniz rule, we investigate the formal deformation of twisted Lie algebras by invertible…
In this paper, we study the deformation theory of degenerate algebraic curves on singular varieties which appear as the degenerate limit of families of varieties. For this purpose, we systematically develop a new method to calculate the…
After introducing some cohomology classes as obstructions to orientation and spin structures etc., we explain some applications of cohomology to physical problems, in special to reduced holonomy in M- and F-theory.
The aim of this paper is to study the $(\alpha, \gamma)$-prolongation of central extensions. We obtain the obstruction theory for $(\alpha, \gamma)$-prolongations and classify $(\alpha, \gamma)$-prolongations thanks to low-dimensional…
The class in the Brauer group of a quaternion algebra over a field is 2-torsion. We study the following question: Which 2-torsion elements of the Brauer group of a complex function field are representable by quaternion algebras? Using…
In this paper, we study restricted Poisson algebras in characteristic 2 and their relationship with restricted Lie-Rinehart algebras, for which we develop a cohomology theory and investigate abelian extensions. We also construct a full…
