Let $\Bbbk$ be an algebraically closed field and $\Lambda$ a generalized Brauer tree algebra over $\Bbbk$. We compute the universal deformation rings of the periodic string modules over $\Lambda$. Moreover, for a specific class of…

We discuss some aspects of the deformed W-algebras W_{q,t}[g]. In particular, we derive an explicit formula for the Kac determinant, and discuss the center when t^2 is a primitive k-th root of unity. The relation of the structure of…

We continue analysis of \cite{Parsa:2018kys} and study rigidity and stability of the BMS4 algebra and its centrally extended version. We construct and classify the family of algebras which appear as deformations of BMS4 and in general find…

The aim of this paper is to establish necessary and sufficient algorithmic conditions to guarantee that an algebra is actually a 3-dimensional skew polynomial algebra in the sense of Bell and Smith.

The deformed $\mathcal W$ algebras of type $\textsf{A}$ have a uniform description in terms of the quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ algebra $\mathcal E$. We introduce a comodule algebra $\mathcal K$ over $\mathcal E$ which gives a uniform…

A deformation of the Orlik-Solomon algebra of a matroid M is defined as a quotient of the free associative algebra over a commutative ring R with 1. It is shown that the given generators form a Groebner basis and that after suitable…

This work explores the deformation theory of algebraic structures in a very general setting. These structures include commutative, associative algebras, Lie algebras, and the infinity versions of these structures, the strongly homotopy…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional $k$-algebra standardly stratified for a partial order $\leqslant$ and $\Delta$ be the direct sum of all standard modules. In this paper we study the extension algebra $E= \text{Ext}_A^{\ast} (\Delta, \Delta)$…

We define and investigate a class of Koszul quasi-hereditary algebras for which there is a natural equivalence between the bounded derived category of graded modules and the bounded derived category of graded modules over (a proper version…

We investigate deformations of skew group algebras that arise from a finite cyclic group acting on a polynomial ring in positive characteristic, where characteristic divides the order of the group. We allow deformations which deform both…

Let $A = \bigoplus_{i \geqslant 0} A_i$ be a graded locally finite $k$-algebra such that $A_0$ is an arbitrary finite-dimensional algebra satisfying some splitting condition. In this paper we develop a generalized Koszul theory generalizing…

An algebra $A$ with identity $(a\circ b)\circ c-a\circ(b\circ c)=(a\circ c)\circ b-a\circ(c\circ b),$ is called right-symmetric. Cohomology and deformation theory for right-symmetric algebras are developed. Cohomologies of $gl_n$ and…

These are significantly expanded lecture notes for the author's minicourse at MSRI in June 2012, as published in the MSRI lecture note series, with some minor additional corrections. In these notes, we give an example-motivated review of…

We provide a prorepresenting object for the noncommutative derived deformation problem of deforming a module $X$ over a differential graded algebra. Roughly, we show that the corresponding deformation functor is homotopy prorepresented by…

The deformation bicomplex of a module-algebra over a bialgebra is constructed. It is then applied to study algebraic deformations in which both the module structure and the algebra structure are deformed. The cases of module-coalgebras,…

Let $k$ be a field. Let $A$ and $B$ be connected $N$-graded $k$-algebras. Let $C$ denote a twisted tensor product of $A$ and $B$ in the category of connected $N$-graded $k$-algebras. The purpose of this paper is to understand when $C$…

Degeneration of modules is usually defined geometrically, but due to results of Zwara and Riedtmann we can also define it in terms of exact sequences. This definition also works over fields that are not algebraically closed. Let $k$ be a…

Let $\hat{\mathfrak g}$ be an affine Lie algebra of type 1. We give a PBW basis for the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak g})$ with respect to the triangular decomposition of $\hat{\mathfrak g}$ associated with the imaginary…

In this paper we consider the structure of general quantum W-algebras. We introduce the notions of deformability, positive-definiteness, and reductivity of a W-algebra. We show that one can associate a reductive finite Lie algebra to each…

In recent years, various nonlinear algebraic structures have been obtained in the context of quantum systems as symmetry algebras, Painlev\'{e} transcendent models and missing label problems. In this paper we treat all of these algebras as…
