We investigate Nijenhuis deformations of $L_\infty$-algebras, a notion that unifies several Nijenhuis deformations, namely those of Lie algebras, Lie algebroids, Poisson structures and Courant structures. Additional examples, linked to Lie…
We introduce Lie-Nijenhuis bialgebroids as Lie bialgebroids endowed with an additional derivation-like object. They give a complete infinitesimal description of Poisson-Nijenhuis groupoids, and key examples include Poisson-Nijenhuis…
A compatible $L_\infty$-algebra is a graded vector space together with two compatible $L_\infty$-algebra structures on it. Given a graded vector space, we construct a graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are precisely compatible…
We construct small cylinders for cellular non-symmetric DG-operads over an arbitrary commutative ring by using the basic perturbation lemma from homological algebra. We show that our construction, applied to the A-infinity operad, yields…
This article constructs Von Neumann invariants for constructible complexes and coherent D-modules on compact complex manifolds, generalizing the work of the author on coherent L 2-cohomology. We formulate a conjectural generalization of…
The main results of our paper deal with the lifting problem for multilinear differential operators between complexes of horizontal de Rham forms on the infinite jet bundle. We answer the question when does an n-multilinear differential…
We describe cohomological conditions that are necessary and sufficient for the existence of balanced dualizing dg-modules, generalizing a theorem of Van den Bergh for balanced dualizing complexes over graded algebras. As a consequence, we…
Hurwitz spaces are homotopy quotients of the braid group action on the moduli space of principal bundles over a punctured plane. By considering a certain model for this homotopy quotient we build an aspherical topological operad that we…
We study superconformal indices of $4d$ compactifications of the $6d$ minimal $(D_{N+3},D_{N+3})$ conformal matter theories on a punctured Riemann surface. Introduction of supersymmetric surface defect in these theories is done at the level…
We study diagrams of commutative differential graded algebras (DGAs) over the orbit category $\sO_G$ in the context of equivariant rational homotopy theory. For $G = C_{pq}$ with $p, q$ distinct primes, we give necessary conditions for…
Nongraded infinite-dimensional Lie algebras appeared naturally in the theory of Hamiltonian operators, the theory of vertex algebras and their multi-variable analogues. They play important roles in mathematical physics. This survey article…
We introduce a generalization of the notion of operad that we call a contractad, whose set of operations is indexed by connected graphs and whose composition rules are numbered by contractions of connected subgraphs. We show that many…
This paper deals with the homotopy theory of differential graded operads. We endow the Koszul dual category of curved conilpotent cooperads, where the notion of quasi-isomorphism barely makes sense, with a model category structure Quillen…
This paper explores various algebraic and homotopical aspects of Nijenhuis Lie conformal algebras, including their cohomology theory, $\mathcal{L}_\infty$-structures, non-abelian extensions, and automorphism groups. We define the cohomology…
This article surveys the noncommutative-geometric (NCG) approach to fundamental physics, in which geometry is encoded spectrally by a generalized Dirac operator and where dynamics arise from the spectral action. I review historically how…
We introduce Morita equivalence for Nijenhuis groupoids and for their infinitesimal counterparts, establishing a global-to-infinitesimal correspondence under the Lie functor. A special case is that of holomorphic Lie groupoids and…
Invited talk at the International Symposium on Generalized Symmetries in Physics at the Arnold-Sommerfeld-Institute, Clausthal, Germany, July 26 -- July 29, 1993. This talk reviews results on the structure of algebras consisting of…
We construct germs of complex manifolds of dimension $m$ along projective submanifolds of dimension $n$ with ample normal bundle and without non-constant meromorphic functions whenever $m \geq 2n$. We also show that our methods do not allow…
We develop a theory of equivariant Nijenhuis Lie algebras (ENL algebras), namely Lie algebras equipped with Nijenhuis operators satisfying an equivariance condition with respect to the adjoint representation. This compatibility condition…
We consider the extension of classical 2-dimensional topological quantum field theories to Klein topological quantum field theories which allow unorientable surfaces. We approach this using the theory of modular operads by introducing a new…
