It is shown that the ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SQM) can be extended to a $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-graded superalgebra. This is done by presenting quantum mechanical models which realize, with the aid of Clifford gamma matrices,…

In these lectures, we discuss some well-known facts about Clifford algebras: matrix representations, Cartan's periodicity of 8, double coverings of orthogonal groups by spin groups, Dirac equation in different formalisms, spinors in $n$…

This is an overview paper that describes Eliashberg's Legendrian surgery approach to wrapped Floer cohomology and use it to derive the basic relations between various holomorphic curve theories with additional algebraic constructions. We…

We discuss the notion of basic cohomology for Dirac structures and, more generally, Lie algebroids. We then use this notion to characterize the obstruction to a variational formulation of Dirac dynamics.

Assume that we are given a coaction \delta of a locally compact group G on a C*-algebra A and a T-valued Borel 2-cocycle \omega on G. Motivated by the approach of Kasprzak to Rieffel's deformation we define a deformation A_\omega of A.…

We define a cobordism theory in algebraic geometry based on normal crossing degenerations with double point singularities. The main result is the equivalence of double point cobordism to the theory of algebraic cobordism previously defined…

A general deformation theory of algebras which factorise into two subalgebras is studied. It is shown that the classification of deformations is related to the cohomology of a certain double complex reminiscent of the Gerstenhaber-Schack…

Using the algebraic geometry method of Berenstein and Leigh for the construction of the toroidal orbifold (T^2 x T^2 x T^2) / (Z_2 x Z_2) with discrete torsion and considering local K3 surfaces, we present non-commutative aspects of the…

We give an introduction to some of the recent ideas that go under the name "geometric complexity theory". We first sketch the proof of the known upper and lower bounds for the determinantal complexity of the permanent. We then introduce the…

The linearization of a quadratic form gives rise to a Clifford algebra structure, as seen in Dirac's factorization of the d'Alembert operator. A similar structure known as a generalized Clifford algebra arises from the continuation of this…

Rota-Baxter operators have been paid much attention in the last few decades as they have many applications in mathematics and physics. In this paper, our object of study is modified Rota-Baxter operators on Leibniz algebras. We investigate…

A commutative diagram that connects the basic objects of commutative algebra with the main objects of commutative analysis is constructed. Namely, with the help of five types of canonical embeddings we constructed a diagram between two sets…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a curved $L_\infty$-algebra endowed with a complete filtration $\mathfrak{F}\mathfrak{g}$. Suppose there exists an integer $r \in \mathbb{N}_0$ for which the curvature $\mu_0$ satisfies $\mu_0 \in \mathfrak{F}_{2r+1}…

As a generalization of the classical killing-contractible-complexes lemma, we present algebraic Morse theory via homological perturbation lemma, in a form more general than existing presentations in the literature. Two-sided Anick…

Central issues of the Dirac constraint formalism are discussed in relation to the algorithmic methods of commutative algebra based on the Groebner basis techniques. For a wide class of finite dimensional polynomial degenerate Lagrangian…

Cappell's codimension 1 splitting obstruction surgery group UNil_n(R;R,R) of a ring with involution R is a direct summand of the Wall surgery obstruction group L_n(R[D_{\infty}]) of the amalgamated free product R[D_{\infty}] =…

The theory of Lambda-rings, in the sense of Grothendieck's Riemann-Roch theory, is an enrichment of the theory of commutative rings. In the same way, we can enrich usual algebraic geometry over the ring Z of integers to produce…

The main purpose of this paper is to lay the foundations of a general theory which encompasses the features of the classical Hough transform and extend them to general algebraic objects such as affine schemes. The main motivation comes from…

We survey two decades of work on the (sequential) topological complexity of configuration spaces of graphs (ordered and unordered), aiming to give an account that is unifying, elementary, and self-contained. We discuss the traditional…

Although algebraic structures are frequently analyzed using unary and binary operations, they can also be effectively defined and unified through ternary operations. In this context, we introduce structures that contain two constants and a…
