The interplay between derivations and algebraic structures has been a subject of significant interest and exploration. Inspired by Yau's twist and the Leibniz rule, we investigate the formal deformation of twisted Lie algebras by invertible…
We study formal deformations of multiplication in an operad. This closely resembles Gerstenhaber's deformation theory for associative algebras. However, this applies to various algebras of Loday-type and their twisted analogs. We explicitly…
We introduce a generalization of the Euclidean algorithm for rings equipped with an involution, and completely enumerate all isomorphism classes of orders over definite, rational quaternion algebras equipped with an orthogonal involution…
Although there is no natural internal product for hermitian forms over an algebra with involution of the first kind, we describe how to multiply two $\varepsilon$-hermitian forms to obtain a quadratic form over the base field. This allows…
These notes deal with algebras equipped with an involution and related matters.
This article presents a natural extension of the tensor algebra. In addition to "left multiplications" by vectors, we can consider "derivations" by covectors as basic operators on this extended algebra. These two types of operators satisfy…
We study formally real, non-pythagorean fields which have an anisotropic torsion form that contains every anisotropic torsion form as a subform. We obtain consequences for certain invariants and the Witt ring of such fields and construct…
We define two invariants for (semiprime right Goldie) algebras, one for algebras graded by arbitrary abelian groups, which is unchanged under twists by $2$-cocycles on the grading group, and one for $\mathbb Z$-graded or $\mathbb Z_{\ge…
Some connections between quadratic forms over the field of two elements, Clifford algebras of quadratic forms over the real numbers, real graded division algebras, and twisted group algebras will be highlighted. This allows to revisit real…
Baxter permutations are known to be in bijection with a wide number of combinatorial objects. Previously, it was shown that each of these objects had a natural involution which was carried equivariantly by the known bijections, and the…
In this paper, we consider Leibniz algebras with derivations. A pair consisting of a Leibniz algebra and a distinguished derivation is called a LeibDer pair. We define a cohomology theory for LeibDer pair with coefficients in a…
Let $X$ be a smooth proper curve defined over a field $k$. The representability of the relative Picard functor is obstructed by a class $\alpha\in\mathrm{Br}(\mathrm{Pic}_{X/k})$. We show the associated division algebra on…
Examples of operator algebras with involution include the operator $*$-algebras occurring in noncommutative differential geometry studied recently by Mesland, Kaad, Lesch, and others, several classical function algebras, triangular matrix…
We classify all two-dimensional simple algebras (which may be non-associative) over an algebraically closed field. For each two-dimensional algebra $\mathcal{A}$, we describe a minimal (with respect to inclusion) generating set for the…
Using elementary linear algebra, this paper clarifies and proves some concepts about a recently introduced octonion-like associative division algebra over R. This octonion-like algebra is actually the same as the split-biquaternion algebra,…
In this work we study the space of derivations of non-degenerate evolution algebras. We improve some results obtained recently in the literature and, as a consequence, we advance in the description of the derivations for $n$-dimensional…
The category of Frobenius Lie algebras is stable under deformation, and here we examine explicit infinitesimal deformations of four and six dimensional Frobenius Lie algebras with the goal of understanding if the spectrum of a Frobenius Lie…
The demand to know the structure of functionally independent invariants of tensor fields arises in many problems of theoretical and mathematical physics, for instance for the construction of interacting higher-order tensor field actions. In…
Motivated by a model in quantum computation we study orthogonal sets of integral vectors of the same norm that can be extended with new vectors keeping the norm and the orthogonality. Our approach involves some arithmetic properties of the…
Hom-Lie algebras defined on central extensions of a given quadratic Lie algebra that in turn admit an invariant metric, are studied. It is shown how some of these algebras are naturally equipped with other symmetric, bilinear forms that…
