This is a survey article on real algebra and geometry, and in particular on its recent applications in optimization and convexity. We first introduce basic notions and results from the classical theory. We then explain how these relate to…

Quantum algebras (also called quantum groups) are deformed versions of the usual Lie algebras, to which they reduce when the deformation parameter q is set equal to unity. From the mathematical point of view they are Hopf algebras. Their…

We quantise the classical gauge theory of $N=2\ w_\infty$-supergravity and show how the underlying $N=2$ super-$w_\infty$ algebra gets deformed into an $N=2$ super-$W_\infty$ algebra. Both algebras contain the $N=2$ super-Virasoro algebra…

These lecture notes focus on some numerical linear algebra algorithms in scientific computing. We assume that students are familiar with elementary linear algebra concepts such as vector spaces, systems of equations, matrices, norms,…

Algebras associated with Quantum Electrodynamics and other gauge theories share some mathematical features with T-duality Exploiting this different perspective and some category theory, the full algebra of fermions and bosons can be…

All the basic cohomology groups and reduced cohomology groups of the extended Schr\"odinger-Virasoro conformal algebra with trivial coefficients are completely determined. In particular, we introduce the notion of the relative cohomology of…

Two series of W-algebras with two generators are constructed from chiral vertex operators of a free field representation. If $c = 1 - 24k$, there exists a W(2,3k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/2$ and a W(2,8k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/4$. All…

A discursive, non-technical, analysis is made of some of the basic issues that arise in almost any approach to quantum gravity, and of how these issues stand in relation to recent developments in the field. Specific topics include the…

We introduce an $\mathfrak{F}$-valued generalization of the Virasoro algebra, called the Frobenius-Virasoro algebra $\mathfrak{vir_F}$, where $\mathfrak{F}$ is a Frobenius algebra over $\mathbb{R}$. We also study Euler equations on the…

In this paper we study the variety of one dimensional representations of a finite $W$-algebra attached to a classical Lie algebra, giving a precise description of the dimensions of the irreducible components. We apply this to prove a…

We explore the possibility of extending Mardare et al. quantitative algebras to the structures which naturally emerge from Combinatory Logic and the lambda-calculus. First of all, we show that the framework is indeed applicable to those…

This is an expository article on representation theory of toroidal Lie algebras. We summerize all the results on representation theory of toroidal Lie algebras obtained in the last fifteen years. Apart from that a natural genaralization of…

Let $G$ be a rank $n$ additive subgroup of $\bC$ and $\Vir[G]$ the corresponding Virasoro algebra of rank $n$. In the present paper, irreducible weight modules with finite dimensional weight spaces over $\Vir[G]$ are completely determined.…

A linear \'etale representation of a complex algebraic group $G$ is given by a complex algebraic $G$-module $V$ such that $G$ has a Zariski-open orbit on $V$ and $\dim G=\dim V$. A current line of research investigates which \'etale…

In this paper we construct the quantum Virasoro algebra ${\mathcal{L}}_{c}$ generators in terms of operators of the generalized Clifford algebras $C_{n}^{k}$. Precisely, we show that ${\mathcal{L}}_{c}$ can be embedded into generalized…

There is considerable current interest in applications of generalised Lie algebras graded by an abelian group $\Gamma$ with a commutative factor $\omega$. This calls for a systematic development of the theory of such algebraic structures.…

This is an introduction to quantum algebra, from a geometric perspective. The classical spaces $X$, such as the Lie groups, homogeneous spaces, or more general manifolds, are described by various algebras $A$, defined over various fields…

Let $G$ be a complex classical group, and let $V$ be its defining representation (possibly plus a copy of the dual). A foundational problem in classical invariant theory is to write down generators and relations for the ring of…

I construct classical superextensions of the Virasoro algebra by employing the Ward identities of a linearly realized subalgebra. For the $N=4$ superconformal algebra, this subalgebra is generated by the $N=2$ $U(1)$ supercurrent and a…

A natural family of quantized matrix algebras is introduced. It includes the two best studied such. Located inside ${\s U}_q(A_{2n-1})$, it consists of quadratic algebras with the same Hilbert series as polynomials in $n^2$ variables. We…
