Jump deformations and contractions of Lie algebras are inverse concepts, but the approaches to their computations are quite different. In this paper, we contrast the two approaches, showing how to compute jump deformations from the…
We propose the method for obtaining invariants of arbitrary representations of Lie groups that reduces this problem to known problems of linear algebra. The basis of this method is the idea of a special extension of the representation…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be an algebra over $K$ with a bilinear operation $[\cdot,\cdot]:\mathfrak{g}\times\mathfrak{g}\rightarrow\mathfrak{g}$ not necessarily associative. For $A\subseteq\mathfrak{g}$, let $A^{k}$ be the set of elements of…
In this paper, we provide a combinatorial/numerical method to establish new hypercontractivity estimates in group von Neumann algebras. We will illustrate our method with free groups, triangular groups and finite cyclic groups, for which we…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a Lie algebra, $E$ a vector space containing $\mathfrak{g}$ as a subspace. The paper is devoted to the \emph{extending structures problem} which asks for the classification of all Lie algebra structures on $E$ such…
The connections between Euler's equations on central extensions of Lie algebras and Euler's equations on the original, extended algebras are described. A special infinite sequence of central extensions of nilpotent Lie algebras constructed…
Given a hyperplane arrangement in a complex vector space of dimension n, there is a natural associated arrangement of codimension k subspaces in a complex vector space of dimension k*n. Topological invariants of the complement of this…
We give an algebraic construction of the topological graph-tree configuration pairing of Sinha and Walter beginning with the classical presentation of Lie coalgebras via coefficients of words in the associative Lie polynomial. Our work…
The space K^n of all n-dimensional { Lie} algebras has a natural non-Hausdorff topology k^n, which has characteristic limits, called transitions, A -> B, between distinct Lie algebras A and B. The entity of these transitions are the natural…
Many infinite-dimensional Lie groups of interest can be expressed as a union of an ascending sequence of (finite- or infinite-dimensional) Lie groups. In this survey article, we compile general results concerning such ascending unions,…
We describe a construction of an algebra over the field of order 2 starting from a conjugacy class of 3-transpositions in a group. In particular, we determine which simple Lie algebras arise by this construction. Among other things, this…
We consider contractions of Lie and Poisson algebras and the behaviour of their centres under contractions. A polynomial Poisson algebra A=K[W] is said to be of Kostant type, if its centre Z(A) is freely generated by homogeneous polynomials…
In physics, Lie groups represent the algebraic structure that describes symmetry transformations of a given system. Then, the descending Lie algebra of those groups are necessarily real. In most cases, the complexification of those Lie…
The main purpose of these lecture notes is to provide a concise introduction to Lie groups, Lie algebras, and isometric and adjoint actions, aiming mostly at advanced undergraduate and graduate students. In addition, the connection between…
We present a formalization, in the theorem prover Lean, of the classification of solvable Lie algebras of dimension at most three over arbitrary fields. Lie algebras are algebraic objects which encode infinitesimal symmetries, and as such…
We define and study multiplicative connections in the tangent bundle of a Lie groupoid. Multiplicative connections are linear connections satisfying an appropriate compatibility with the groupoid structure. Our definition is natural in the…
We prove that for each dimension not less than five there exists a contraction between solvable Lie algebras that can be realized only with matrices whose Euclidean norms necessarily approach infinity at the limit value of contraction…
We show that the general method of Lie algebra expansions can be applied to re-construct several algebras and related actions for non-relativistic gravity that have occurred in the recent literature. We explain the method and illustrate its…
In this thesis Chern-Simons theories based on Lie algebras with invariant metric are constructed. It is discussed how contractions lead systematically to (higher spin) kinematical algebras of, e.g., Poincar\'e, Galilei and Carroll type and…
In this survey, we report on the state of the art of some of the fundamental problems in the Lie theory of Lie groups modeled on locally convex spaces, such as integrability of Lie algebras, integrability of Lie subalgebras to Lie…
