A real Lie algebra with a compatible Hilbert space structure (in the sense that the scalar product is invariant) is called a Hilbert-Lie algebra. Such Lie algebras are natural infinite-dimensional analogues of the compact Lie algebras; in…
Classical $W$-algebras in higher dimensions are constructed. This is achieved by generalizing the classical Gel'fand-Dickey brackets to the commutative limit of the ring of classical pseudodifferential operators in arbitrary dimension.…
We present some general theorems about operator algebras that are algebras of functions on sets, including theories of local algebras, residually finite dimensional operator algebras and algebras that can be represented as the scalar…
We review a systematic construction of the 2-stack of bundle gerbes via descent, and extend it to non-abelian gerbes. We review the role of non-abelian gerbes in orientifold sigma models, for the anomaly cancellation in supersymmetric sigma…
In this review, we present a general framework for the construction of Kac-Moody (KM) algebras associated to higher-dimensional manifolds. Starting from the classical case of loop algebras on the circle $\mathbb{S}^{1}$, we extend the…
It is shown that the expansion methods developed in refs. arXiv:hep-th/0212347 and arXiv:hep-th/0401033v2 can be generalized so that they permit to study the expansion of algebras of loops, both when the compact finite-dimensional algebra…
We provide a Lie algebra expansion procedure to construct three-dimensional higher-order Schr\"odinger algebras which relies on a particular subalgebra of the four-dimensional relativistic conformal algebra. In particular, we reproduce the…
We discuss the higher dimensional generalizations of the Virasoro and Affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. We present an explicit construction for a central extensions of the Lie Algebra $Map (X, \g)$ where $\g$ is a finite-dimensional Lie…
In this paper, we present novel and known non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic spin-3 algebras, by considering the Lie algebra expansion method. We start by applying the expansion procedure using different semigroups to the spin-3…
We propose a non-abelian higher-spin theory in two dimensions for an infinite multiplet of massive scalar fields and infinitely many topological higher-spin gauge fields together with their dilaton-like partners. The spectrum includes local…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of derivations of Lie 2-algebras and construct the associated derivation Lie 3-algebra. We prove that isomorphism classes of non-abelian extensions of Lie 2-algebras are classified by equivalence…
We define the concept of higher order differential operators on a general noncommutative, nonassociative superalgebra A, and show that a vertex operator superalgebra has plenty of them, namely modes of vertex operators. A linear operator…
Two superalgebras associated with $p$-branes are the constraint algebra and the Noether charge algebra. Both contain anomalous terms which modify the standard supertranslation algebra. These anomalous terms have a natural description in…
We introduce and study a non-abelian tensor product of two algebras with bracket with compatible actions on each other. We investigate its applications to the universal central extensions and the low-dimensional homology of perfect algebras…
We propose a generalization of the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson action as a candidate for the description of an arbitrary number of M2-branes. The action is formulated in terms of N=2 superfields in three dimensions and corresponds to an…
Generalizations of the (rank 1) Bannai-Ito algebra are obtained from a refinement of the grade involution of the Lie super algebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1,2)$. A hyperoctahedral extension is derived by using a realization of $\mathfrak{osp}(1,2)$…
By means of a generalization of the S-expansion method we construct a procedure to obtain expanded higher-order Lie algebras. It is shown that the direct product between an Abelian semigroup S and a higher-order Lie algebra…
A classical $E_{d(d)}$-invariant Hamiltonian formulation of world-volume theories of half-BPS p-branes in type IIb and eleven-dimensional supergravity is proposed, extending known results to $d \leq 6$. It consists of a Hamiltonian,…
This paper develops a cohomology theory for Hom-Leibniz algebras using the $\beta$-Nijenhuis--Richardson bracket and applies it to classify non-abelian extensions. We introduce left, and right versions of the bracket, each defining a graded…
A Rota-Baxter algebra $A_R$ is an algebra $A$ equipped with a distinguished Rota-Baxter operator $R$ on it. Rota-Baxter algebras are closely related to dendriform algebras introduced by Loday. In this paper, we first consider the…
