Starting from gravity as a Chern-Simons action for the AdS algebra in five dimensions, it is possible to deform the theory through an expansion of the Lie algebra that leads to a system consisting of the Einstein-Hilbert action plus…
In this note, we use give some algebraic applications of a previous result by the author which compares the deformations parameterized by the Maurer-Cartan elements of a differential graded Lie algebra, and a differential graded Lie…
In this paper, we consider Lie algebroids over commutative ringed spaces. Lie algebroids over ringed spaces unify the existing notion of Lie algebroids over smooth manifolds, complex manifolds, analytic spaces, algebraic varieties, and…
The main purpose of this paper is to study restricted formal deformations of restricted Lie-Rinehart algebras in positive characteristic $p$. For $p>2$, we discuss the deformation theory and show that deformations are controlled by the…
In a recent article we introduced a mechanism for producing a presentation of the descent algebra of the symmetric group as a quiver with relations, the mechanism arising from a new construction of the descent algebra as a homomorphic image…
We describe a new method of quantization of Lie bialgebras, based on a construction of Hopf algebras out of a cocommutative coalgebra and a braided comonoidal functor.
The deformation theory of Lie-Yamaguti algebras is developed by choosing a suitable cohomology. The relationship between the deformation and the obstruction of Lie-Yamaguti algebras is obtained.
We show that Rieffel's deformation sends covariant C(T)-algebras into C(T)-algebras. We also treat the lower semi-continuity issue, proving that Rieffel's deformation transforms covariant continuous fields of C*-algebras into continuous…
In this work, we present straightforward and concrete computations of the unitary irreducible representations of the Euclidean motion group $M(2)$ employing the methods of deformation quantization. Deformation quantization is a quantization…
This paper has two parts. The first part is a review and extension of the methods of integration of Leibniz algebras into Lie racks, including as new feature a new way of integrating 2-cocycles (see Lemma 3.9). In the second part, we use…
We study Lie algebras endowed with an abelian complex structure which admit a symplectic form compatible with the complex structure. We prove that each of those Lie algebras is completely determined by a pair (U,H) where U is a complex…
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…
As an associative algebra, the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra $\mathcal{H}$ is generated by two elements $A$, $B$ subject to the relation $AB-BA=1$. As a Lie algebra, however, where the usual commutator serves as Lie bracket, the elements $A$ and…
This paper develops the deformation theory of Lie ideals. It shows that the smooth deformations of an ideal $\mathfrak i$ in a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ differentiate to cohomology classes in the cohomology of $\mathfrak g$ with values in…
We introduce a new cohomology for Lie algebroids, and prove that it provides a differential graded Lie algebra which ``controls'' deformations of the structure bracket of the algebroid. We also have a closer look at various special cases…
We give a full classification of Lie algebras of specific type in complexified Clifford algebras. These sixteen Lie algebras are direct sums of subspaces of quaternion types. We obtain isomorphisms between these Lie algebras and classical…
The procedure "Lie group --> Lie algebra" has a generalization "simplicial manifold --> L_infinity algebra", or yet better, "presheaf on the category of surjective submersions --> L_infinity algebra". We describe this generalization,…
Let Q denote a smooth manifold acted upon smoothly by a Lie group G. The G-action lifts to an action on the total space T of the cotangent bundle of Q and hence on the standard symplectic Poisson algebra of smooth functions on T. The…
A Lie-Hamilton system is a nonautonomous system of first-order ordinary differential equations describing the integral curves of a $t$-dependent vector field taking values in a finite-dimensional Lie algebra, a Vessiot-Guldberg Lie algebra,…
In this article, we present an integration of any real finite-dimensional Leibniz algebra as a Lie rack which reduces in the particular case of a Lie algebra to the ordinary connected simply connected Lie group. The construction is not…
