The main result is the identification of the orthogonal complement of the subalgebra of conformal vector field inside the algebra of all vector fields of a compact flat 2-manifold. As a fundamental tool, the complete Hodge decomposition for…

We prove that the scalar and $2\times 2$ matrix differential operators which preserve the simplest scalar and vector-valued polynomial modules in two variables have a fundamental Lie algebraic structure. Our approach is based on a general…

We introduce the notion of a bicocycle double cross product (resp. sum) Lie group (resp. Lie algebra), and a bicocycle double cross product bialgebra, generalizing the unified products. On the level of Lie groups the construction yields a…

A VB-algebroid is a vector bundle object in the category of Lie algebroids. We attach to every VB-algebroid a differential graded Lie algebra and we show that it controls deformations of the VB-algebroid structure. Several examples and…

We define the notion of action of an L-infinity algebra $g$ on a graded manifold $M$, and show that such an action corresponds to a homological vector field on $g[1] \times M$ of a specific form. This generalizes the correspondence between…

We begin with a short presentation of the basic concepts related to Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids, but the main part of this paper deals with Lie algebroids. A Lie algebroid over a manifold is a vector bundle over that manifold whose…

The space of differential operators acting on skewsymmetric tensor fields or on smooth forms of a smooth manifold are representations of its Lie algebra of vector fields. We compute the first cohomology spaces of these representations and…

We study the Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields on a smooth Danielewski surface of the form $x y = p(z)$ with $x,y,z \in \mathbb{C}$. We provide explicitly given generators to show that: 1. The Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields…

Every Lie algebra over a field $E$ gives rise to new Lie algebras over any subfield $F \subseteq E$ by restricting the scalar multiplication. This paper studies the structure of these underlying Lie algebra in relation to the structure of…

Orbits of families of vector fields on a subcartesian space are shown to be smooth manifolds. This allows for a global description of a smooth geometric structure on a family of manifolds in terms of a single object defined on the…

This paper investigates the irreducibility of certain representations for the Lie algebra of divergence zero vector fields on a torus. In "Irreducible Representations of the Lie-Algebra of the Diffeomorphisms of a d-Dimensional Torus," S.…

In this paper, we study the moduli space of all complex 5-dimensional Lie algebras, realizing it as a stratification by orbifolds, which are connected by jump deformations. The orbifolds are given by the action of finite groups on very…

Let $A$ be a unital commutative associative algebra over a field of characteristic zero, $\k$ be a Lie algebra, and $\z$ a vector space, considered as a trivial module of the Lie algebra $\g := A \otimes \k$. In this paper we give a…

We exhibit a set of generating relations for the modular invariant ring of a vector and a covector for the two-dimensional general linear group over a finite field.

These notes survey the theory of (twisted) conformal blocks from an algebro-geometric perspective and have two main goals. The first one is to summarize the construction of conformal blocks from vertex operator algebras, and to describe…

Vector calculus in three-dimensional space is ubiquitous in applications of mathematics in physics and engineering. Its two-dimensional version is, however, quite rare. Here we try to provide a pedagogical account of the subject. It is…

For a finite dimensional Lie algebra $\g$ of vector fields on a manifold $M$ we show that $M$ can be completed to a $G$-space in a unversal way, which however is neither Hausdorff nor $T_1$ in general. Here $G$ is a connected Lie group with…

The algebras of interacting "Lie random fields" that were introduced in J. Math. Phys. 48, 122302 (2007) are developed further. The conjecture that the vacuum vector defines a state over a Lie random field algebra is proved. The difference…

We study multisymplectic structures taking values in vector bundles with connections from the viewpoint of the Hamiltonian symmetry. We introduce the notion of bundle-valued $n$-plectic structures and exhibit some properties of them. In…
