In the first part of my talk I will explain a solution to the extension of Lie's problem on classification of "local continuous transformation groups of a finite-dimensional manifold" to the case of supermanifolds. (More precisely, the…

In this paper we answer positively a question of whether it is possible for a circle diffeomorphism with breaks to be smoothly conjugate to a rigid rotation in the case when its breaks are lying on pairwise distinct trajectories. An example…

We present a group theoretic construction of the Virasoro algebra in the framework of wreath products. This can be regarded as a counterpart of a geometric construction of Lehn in the theory of Hilbert schemes of points on a surface.

We obtain complete classification of in-equivalent realizations of the Virasoro algebra by Lie vector fields over the three-dimensional field of real numbers. As an application we construct new classes of nonlinear second-order partial…

The goal of this paper is to study the representation theory of a classical infinite-dimensional Lie algebra - the Lie algebra of vector fields on an N-dimensional torus for N > 1. The case N=1 gives a famous Virasoro algebra (or its…

We explicitly compute the diffeomorphism group of several types of linear foliations (with dense leaves) on the torus $T^n$, $n\geq 2$, namely codimension one foliations, flows, and the so-called non-quadratic foliations. We show in…

We construct the universal central extension of the Lie algebra of exact divergence-free vector fields, proving a conjecture by Claude Roger from 1995. The proof relies on the analysis of a Leibniz algebra that underlies these vector…

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…

We formalize in Lean certain calculational proofs about infinite-dimensional Lie algebras. Specifically, we construct the Virasoro algebra as a central extension of the Witt algebra associated with a nontrivial 2-cocycle, and we construct…

The Virasoro Lie algebra is a one-dimensional central extension of the Witt algebra, which can be realized as the Lie algebra of derivations on the algebra $\cc [t^{\pm}]$ of Laurent polynomials. Using this fact, we define a natural family…

We consider a closed odd-dimensional oriented manifold $M$ together with an acyclic flat hermitean vector bundle $\cF$. We form the trivial fibre bundle with fibre $M$ over the manifold of all Riemannian metrics on $M$. It has a natural…

The group of vertical diffeomorphisms of a principal bundle forms the generalised action Lie groupoid associated to the bundle. The former is generated by the group of maps with value in the structure group, which is also the group of…

The group of diffeomorphisms of a circle is not an infinite-dimensional algebraic group, though in many ways it behaves as if it were. Here we construct an algebraic model for this object, and discuss some of its representations, which…

The first cohomology group of a generalized loop Virasoro algebra with coefficients in the tensor product of its adjoint module is shown to be trivial. The result is applied to prove that Lie bialgebra structures on generalized loop…

This paper deals with the classification of Leibniz central extensions of a naturally graded filiform Lie algebra. We choose a basis with respect to that the table of multiplication has a simple form. In low dimensional cases isomorphism…

In this series of two papers we will generalise the concept of extending a Lie algebroid by a Lie algebra bundle, leading to a notion of extending a Lie algebroid by another Lie algebroid whose orbits lie in the orbits of the former…

For any finite dimensional Lie superalgebra $\dot{\mathfrak{g}}$ (maybe a Lie algebra) with an even derivation $d$ and a finite order automorphism $\sigma$ that commutes with $d$, we introduce the $(d,\sigma)$-twisted Affine-Virasoro…

In this article, we characterize the distortion elements of the group of smooth diffeomorphisms of the circle and of the group of compactly supported smooth diffeomorphisms of the real line. More precisely, we prove that, in this context,…

We classify central extensions of the dg Lie algebra of derived global sections of the tangent sheaf on the punctured, formal 2-disk. We then prove a local and universal form of the Grothendieck--Rieman--Roch theorem for families of…

By means of the Lie algebra expansion method, the centrally extended conformal algebra in two dimensions and the $\mathfrak{bms}_{3}$ algebra are obtained from the Virasoro algebra. We extend this result to construct new families of…
