Recently B. Hartwig and the second author found a presentation for the three-point $sl_2$ loop algebra via generators and relations. To obtain this presentation they defined an algebra $\boxtimes$ by generators and relations, and displayed…
We consider general linear superalgebra (type A) and tensor with Laurent polynomial ring in several variables. We then consider the universal central extension of this Lie superalgebra which we call toroidal superalgebra. We give a faithful…
The most general possible central extensions of two whole families of Lie algebras, which can be obtained by contracting the special pseudo-unitary algebras su(p,q) of the Cartan series A_l and the pseudo-unitary algebras u(p,q), are…
We give a characterisation of central extensions of a Lie group G by the non-zero complex numbers in terms of a differential two-form on G and a differential one-form on GxG. This is applied to the case of the central extension of the loop…
The present paper contains a systematic study of the structure of metric Lie algebras, i.e., finite-dimensional real Lie algebras equipped with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form. We show that any metric Lie algebra without…
We classify all three-dimensional connected topological loops such that the group topologically generated by their left translations is the four-dimensional connected Lie group $G$ which has trivial center and precisely two one-dimensional…
In this paper, we study 3-Lie algebras with derivations. We call the pair consisting of a 3-Lie algebra and a distinguished derivation by the 3-LieDer pair. We define a cohomology theory for 3-LieDer pair with coefficients in a…
The symmetries provided by representations of the centrally extended Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{psl}(2|2)$ are known to play an important role in the spin chain models originated in the planar anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory…
We introduce the notion of Lie algebras with plus-minus pairs as well as regular plus-minus pairs. These notions deal with certain factorizations in universal enveloping algebras. We show that many important Lie algebras have such pairs and…
In the category of Hom-Leibniz algebras we introduce the notion of representation as adequate coefficients to construct the chain complex to compute the Leibniz homology of Hom-Leibniz algebras. We study universal central extensions of…
A central extension of the loop group of a Lie group is called transgressive, if it corresponds under transgression to a degree four class in the cohomology of the classifying space of the Lie group. Transgressive loop group extensions are…
We consider the maximal central extension of the supertranslation algebra in d=4 and 3, which includes tensor central charges associated to topological defects such as domain walls (membranes) and strings. We show that for all N-extended…
Let $R := R_{2}(p)=\mathbb{C}[t^{\pm 1}, u : u^2 = t(t-\alpha_1)\cdots (t-\alpha_{2n})] $ be the coordinate ring of a nonsingular hyperelliptic curve and let $\mathfrak{g}\otimes R$ be the corresponding current Lie algebra. \color{black}…
We complete the solution of the problem of finding the universal central extension of the matrix superalgebras $\mathfrak{sl}(m, n, A)$ where $A$ is an associative superalgebra and computing $H_2\big(\mathfrak{sl}(m, n, A)\big)$. The…
Motivated by investigations of the tridiagonal pairs of linear transformations, we introduce the augmented tridiagonal algebra ${\mathcal T}_q$. This is an infinite-dimensional associative ${\mathbb C}$-algebra with 1. We classify the…
A description of the embedding of the universal Askey--Wilson algebra, AW(3), in $U_q(sl_2)^{\otimes 3}$ is given in terms of the universal R-matrix of $U_q(sl_2)$. The generators of the centralizer of $U_q(sl_2)$ in its three-fold product…
We introduce the notion of Hom-co-represention and low-dimensional chain complex. We study universal central extensions of Hom-preLie algebras and generlize some classical results. As the same time, we introduce $\alpha$-central extensions,…
Central extension $\DYg$ of the Double of the Yangian is defined for a simple Lie algebra ${\bf g}$ with complete proof for ${\bf g} =sl_2$. Basic representations and intertwining operators are constructed for $\DY2$.
The expansion method of Lie algebras by a semigroup or S-expansion is generalized to act directly on the group manifold, and not only at the level of its Lie algebra. The consistency of this generalization with the dual formulation of the…
We classify central extensions for the loop group LSDiff(S^2) of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of the 2-sphere, and of related twisted loop groups. We then show that the corresponding Lie algebra cocycles are `fuzzy sphere limits' of…
