The purpose of this paper is to show how central extensions of (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie algebras integrate to central extensions of \'etale Lie 2-groups. In finite dimensions, central extensions of Lie algebras integrate to…
Let $B$ be a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded Lie superalgebra equipped with an invariant $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric homogeneous bilinear form and containing a grading element. Its local part (in the terminology of Kac) $B_{-1} \oplus B_{0} \oplus B_{1}$…
We present a modern formulation of \'Elie Cartan's structure theory for Lie pseudogroups and prove a reduction theorem that clarifies the role of Cartan's systatic system. The paper is divided into three parts. In part one, using notions…
The Newtonian limit of Newton-Cartan gravity relies crucially on the Lie-algebraic central extension to the Galilean algebra, namely the Bargmann algebra. Lie-algebraic central extensions naturally generalise to $L_\infty$-algebraic central…
We show that the central representation is nontrivial for all one-dimensional central extensions of nilpotent Lie algebras possessing a codimension one abelian ideal.
For the two Cartan type S subalgebras of the Witt algebra $\W_n$, called Lie algebras of divergence-zero vector fields, we determine all module structures on the universal enveloping algebra of their Cartan subalgebra $\h_n$. We also give…
We consider a proper parabolic subalgebra p of a simple Lie algebra g and the Inonu-Wigner contraction of p with respect to its decomposition into its standard Levi factor and its nilpotent radical : this is the Lie algebra which is…
Consider complex semisimple Lie algebras of a given dimension specified by their structure constants. We describe a finite collection of rational functions in the structure constants that form a complete set of invariants: two sets of…
In this paper we study the tensor powers of the standard representation of the quantum super-algebra $U_q(sl(2|1)$, focusing on the rings of its algebra endomorphisms, called centraliser algebras and denoted by $LG_n$. Their dimensions were…
The center of the algebra of continuous functions on the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ is determined as well as centers of other related algebras. Several other results concerning this quantum group are given with direct proofs based on concrete…
We determine the center of a localization of ${\mathcal U}_q({\mathfrak n}_\omega)\subseteq {\mathcal U}^+_q({\mathfrak g})$ by the covariant elements (non-mutable elements) by means of constructions and results from quantum cluster…
For a simple Lie algebra g we consider an analogue of the affine algebra ^gk with n singularities, defined starting from the ring of functions on the n-pointed disk. We study the center of its completed enveloping algebra and prove an…
In this thesis we describe the universal central extension of two important classes of so-called root-graded Lie algebras defined over a commutative associative unital ring $k.$ Root-graded Lie algebras are Lie algebras which are graded by…
Left invariant affine structures in a Lie group $G$ are in one-to-one correspondence with left-symmetric algebras over its Lie algebra $\mathfrak g=T_eG$ (``over'' means that the commutator $[x,y]=xy-yx$ coincides with the Lie bracket;…
A famous result of Kostant states that the universal enveloping algebra of a semisimple complex Lie algebra is a free module over its center. We prove an analogue of this result for a class of filtered algebras and apply it to show the…
Motivated by algebraic structures appearing in Rational Conformal Field Theory we study a construction associating to an algebra in a monoidal category a commutative algebra ({\em full centre}) in the monoidal centre of the monoidal…
Over an algebraically closed fields, an alternative to the method due to Kostrikin and Shafarevich was recently suggested. It produces all known simple finite dimensional Lie algebras in characteristic p>2. For p=2, we investigate one of…
From a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ satisfying $\mathcal{Z}(\mathfrak{g})=0$ and $\Lambda^2(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{g}=0$ (in particular, for $\g$ semisimple) we describe explicitly all Lie bialgebra structures on extensions of the form…
In this paper, we focus on how we can interpret the actions of the elements in the Gelfand spectrum of a weighted Fourier algebra on connected Lie groups. They can be viewed as evaluations on specific points of the complexification of the…
A classification of semisimple algebras of vector fields on C^N that have a Cartan subalgebra of dimension N is given. The proof uses basic representation theory and the local canonical form of semisimple Lie algebras of vector fields.
