A class of non-semisimple extensions of Lie superalgebras is studied. They are obtained by adjoining to the superalgebra its adjoint representation as an abelian ideal. When the superalgebra is of affine Kac-Moody type, a generalisation of…
Let $A_n=\mathbb{C}[t_i^{\pm1},~1\leq i\leq n]$ be the algebra of Laurent polynomials in $n$-variables. Let $\mu=(\mu_1,\ldots,\mu_n)$ be a generic vector in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and $\Gamma_{\mu}=\{\mu\cdot\alpha,\alpha\in \mathbb{Z}^n\}$ where…
We present an explicit formula for a new family of Virasoro singular vectors. As a corrolary we get formulas for differentials of Feigin-Fuchs-Rocha-Carridi-Wallach resolution of the the positive nilpotent part of Virasoro (or Witt) algebra…
We introduce the notion of a bicocycle double cross product (resp. sum) Lie group (resp. Lie algebra), and a bicocycle double cross product bialgebra, generalizing the unified products. On the level of Lie groups the construction yields a…
For a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ related to a quantum torus, we compute its automorphisms, derivations and universal central extension. This Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ is isomorphic to a subalgebra of the Lie algebra of derivations over the…
This article explores some simple examples of L-infinity algebras and the construction of miniversal deformations of these structures. Among other things, it is shown that there are two families of nonequivalent L-infinity structures on a…
In a paper by Xu, some simple Lie algebras of generalized Cartan type were constructed, using the mixtures of grading operators and down-grading operators. Among them, are the simple Lie algebras of generalized Witt type, which are in…
Hom-Lie algebras are non-associative algebras generalizing Lie algebras by twisting the Jacobi identity by a linear map. In this paper, we mainly study the irreducible representation of the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra of Hom-type,…
Finite-dimensional subalgebras of a Lie algebra of smooth vector fields on a circle, as well as piecewise-smooth global transformations of a circle on itself, are considered. A canonical forms of realizations of two- and three-dimensional…
In this paper, we classify 1-cocycles of the Witt algebra with coefficients in the tensor product of two arbitrary tensor density modules. In a special case, we recover a theorem originally established by Ng and Taft in \cite{NT}.…
Within the framework of a local expansion of the logarithm of the O(N) sigma-model vacuum functional, valid for slowly varying fields, the modified Virasoro algebra is studied. The operator-like central charge term is given, up to second…
A Virasoro central charge can be associated with each Nichols algebra with diagonal braiding in a way that is invariant under the Weyl groupoid action. The central charge takes very suggestive values for some items in Heckenberger's list of…
The main aim of this article is to prove the one-dimensionality of the third algebraic cohomology of the Virasoro algebra with values in the adjoint module. We announced this result in a previous publication with only a sketch of the proof.…
Based on the quantum superspace construction of $q$-deformed algebra, we discuss a supersymmetric extension of the deformed Virasoro algebra, which is a subset of the $q$-$W_{\infty}$ algebra recently appeared in the context of…
It is shown that the non-trivial cocycles on simple Lie algebras may be used to introduce antisymmetric multibrackets which lead to higher-order Lie algebras, the definition of which is given. Their generalised Jacobi identities turn out to…
We present a fractional superspace formulation of the centerless parasuper-Viraso-ro and fractional super-Virasoro algebras. These are two different generalizations of the ordinary super-Virasoro algebra generated by the infinitesimal…
A Lie algebra $L$ is said to be $(\Theta_{n},sl_{n})$-graded if it contains a simple subalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ isomorphic to $sl_{n}$ such that the $\mathfrak{g}$-module $L$ decomposes into copies of the adjoint module, the trivial module,…
In this paper, we study a certain deformation $D$ of the Virasoro algebra that was introduced and called $q$-Virasoro algebra by Nigro,in the context of vertex algebras. Among the main results, we prove that for any complex number $\ell$,…
The construction of Lie bialgebra from double Lie algebra is presented. It is used to relate some types of cobracket on inhomogenous so(p,q) algebras with double Lie algebra structures on so(p+1,q) or so(p,q+1). Also it is shown that the…
Using tools from the geometry of Einstein solvmanifolds, we give a geometric argument that a semi-simple Lie algebra (of non-compact type) is completely determined by its Iwasawa subalgebra. Furthermore, we produce an algebraic procedure…
