We present an extremely elementary construction of the simple Lie algebras over the complex numbers in all of their minuscule representations, using the vertices of various polytopes. The construction itself requires no complicated…
This is a survey on appearances of reflection groups, real and complex, in algebraic geometry. We also include a brief introduction into the theory of reflection groups.
These notes present a quick introduction to the q-deformations of semisimple Lie groups from the point of view of unitary representation theory. In order to remain concrete, we concentrate entirely on the case of the lie algebra…
This is an expository article on properties of actions on Lie groups by subgroups of their automorphism groups. After recalling various results on the structure of the automorphism groups, we discuss actions with dense orbits, invariant and…
The main purpose of this work is to develop the basic notions of the Lie theory for commutative algebras. We introduce a class of $\mathbbZ_2$-graded commutative but not associative algebras that we call ``Lie antialgebras''. These algebras…
This is an expository article. We survey some fundamental trends in representation theory of symmetric groups and related objects which became apparent in the last fifteen years. The emphasis is on connections with Lie theory via…
It is well known that the Poisson Lie algebra is isomorphic to the Hamiltonian Lie algebra. We show that the Poisson Lie algebra can be embedded properly in the special type Lie algebra. We also generalize the Hamiltonian Lie algebra using…
In group theory the chief factors allow a group to be studied by its representation theory on particularly natural irreducible modules. It is to be expected, therefore, that they will play an important role in the study of Lie algebras. In…
The ideals of the Lie algebras of unitriangular polynomial derivations are classified. An isomorphism criterion is given for the Lie factor algebras of the Lie algebras of unitriangular polynomial derivations.
We analyse some aspects of the notion of algebraic exponentiation introduced by the second author [16] and satisfied by the category of groups. We show how this notion provides a new approach to the categorical-algebraic question of the…
We study the space of Lie algebras equipped with left-invariant complex structures, $\mathcal{L}_{ J_{\tiny{\mbox{cn}}} }(\mathbb{R}^{2n}) $, with particular attention to their degenerations and deformations. To this end, we identify…
We study the abelianization of Kontsevich's Lie algebra associated with the Lie operad and some related problems. Calculating the abelianization is a long-standing unsolved problem, which is important in at least two different contexts:…
A new structure, based on joining copies of a group by means of a \emph{twist}, has recently been considered to describe the brackets of the two exceptional real Lie algebras of type $G_2$ in a highly symmetric way. In this work we show…
We generalize the classical construction principles of infinite-dimensional real (and complex) Lie groups to the case of Lie groups over non-discrete topological fields. In particular, we discuss linear Lie groups, mapping groups, test…
Lie theory is, beyond any doubt, an absolutely essential part of differential geometry. It is therefore necessary to seek its generalization to $\mathbb{Z}$-graded geometry. In particular, it is vital to construct non-trivial and explicit…
This book is mainly an exposition of the author's works and his joint works with his former students on explicit representations of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras, related partial differential equations, linear orthogonal algebraic…
Certain infinite families of operator identities related to powers of positive root generators of (super) Lie algebras of first-order differential operators and $q$-deformed algebras of first-order finite-difference operators are presented.
We give a complete classification of the class of Lie algebras of simply connected real Lie groups whose nontrivial coadjoint orbits are of codimension 1. Such a Lie group belongs to a well-known class, called the class of MD-groups. The…
The theory of Lie remarkable equations, i.e. differential equations characterized by their Lie point symmetries, is reviewed and applied to ordinary differential equations. In particular, we consider some relevant Lie algebras of vector…
The main aim of this paper is to determine the multiplicative lie algebra structures on the semi-direct product of an abelian group with a group under certain conditions.
