We prove two recurrence relations among dimensions $$D_g(r,d,\omega):={\rm dim}\,{\rm H}^0(\mathcal{U}_{C,\,\omega},\Theta_{\mathcal{U}_{C,\,\omega}})$$ of spaces of generalized theta functions on moduli spaces $\mathcal{U}_{C,\,\omega}$.…

We formulate and prove a log-algebraicity theorem for arbitrary rank Drinfeld modules defined over the polynomial ring F_q[theta]. This generalizes results of Anderson for the rank one case. As an application we show that certain special…

Let $(\mathfrak{g},[p])$ be a finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra over a perfect field $\mathbbm{k}$ of characteristic $p\!\ge \!3$. By combining methods from recent work of Benson-Carlson \cite{BC20} with those of \cite{CF21,Fa17} we…

In this paper the description of solvable Lie algebras with triangular nilradicals is extended to Leibniz algebras. It is proven that the matrices of the left and right operators on elements of Leibniz algebra have upper triangular forms.…

In accordance with P. Vogel, a set of algebra structures in Chern-Simons theory can be made universal, independent of a particular family of simple Lie algebras. In particular, this means that various quantities in the adjoint…

This article contains the last part of the mini-course `Spaces: a perspective view' delivered at the IFWGP2012. Here I deal with the part of the mini-course which centers on the classification questions associated to the simple real Lie…

The nontrivial unital composition superalgebras, of dimension 3 and 6, which exist only in characteristic 3, are obtained from the split Cayley algebra and its order 3 automorphisms, by means of the process of semisimplification of the…

Models of the exceptional simple modular Lie superalgebras in characteristic $p\geq 3$, that have appeared in the classification due to Bouarroudj, Grozman and Leites of the Lie superalgebras with indecomposable symmetrizable Cartan…

We study the representations of the W-algebra W(g) associated to an arbitrary finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra g via the quantized Drinfeld-Sokolov reductions. The characters of irreducible representations with non-degenerate highest…

A unified treatment of the $2 \times 2$ analog of the Freudenthal-Tits magic square of Lie groups is given, providing an explicit representation in terms of matrix groups over composition algebras.

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 suggest a way to associate to each Lie algebra of type G2, D4, F4, E6, E7, E8 a family of polarized hyperkahler fourfolds, constructed as parametrizing certain families of cycles of hyperplane sections of certain homogeneous or…

The property of triality only appears in one linear simple Lie algebra: $D_4$, a.k.a. $\mathfrak{so}(8, \mathbb{C})$. Though often explored in abstract, it is desirable to have an explicit realization of the concept since there are no other…

We present `liesuperalg` a SageMath package for representation-theoretic calculations involving Lie superalgebras in Type A. Our package introduces functionality to calculate invariants of weights and produce the associated cup diagrams. We…

In differential geometry, the notation d^n f along with the corresponding formalism has fallen into disuse since the birth of exterior calculus. However, differentials of higher order are useful objects that can be interpreted in terms of…

We consider finite-dimensional complex Lie algebras admitting a periodic derivation, i.e., a nonsingular derivation which has finite multiplicative order. We show that such Lie algebras are at most two-step nilpotent and give several…

The problem of computing the characters of the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$ over $\C$ was solved a few years ago by V. Serganova. In this article, we present an entirely…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional simple complex Lie algebra. A layer sum is introduced as the sum of formal exponentials of the distinct weights appearing in an irreducible $\mathfrak{g}$-module. It is argued that the character of…
