We study real triality structures through their intrinsic tensor algebra. Starting from a single triality symbol, we construct the associated Lie algebra of two-triality operators, prove the Jacobi identity, and identify the resulting…
A generalization of super-Lie algebras is presented. It is then shown that all known examples of fractional supersymmetry can be understood in this formulation. However, the incorporation of three dimensional fractional supersymmetry in…
Lie superautomorphisms of prime associative superalgebras are considered. A definitive result is obtained for central simple superalgebras: their Lie superautomorphisms are of standard forms, except when the dimension of the superalgebra in…
In this work we state a version of the double extension for homogeneous quadratic Lie super algebras that includes even and odd cases. We prove that any indecomposable, non-simple and homogeneous quadratic Lie super algebra is obtained by…
Wigner's unitary representation of the Lorentz group is extended to a representation of the complex orthosymplectic Lie super group OSp_C(1|2) acting on Minkowski (3,1|4)-dimensional super space essentially by Hermitean conjugation. The…
We construct, using the supersymplectic framework of Berezin, Kostant and others, two types of supersymmetric extensions of the Schr\"odinger algebra (itself a conformal extension of the Galilei algebra). An `$I$-type' extension exists in…
For certain Lie algebras g, we can use a Z/5Z-grading and define a quartic form and a skew-symmetric bilinear form on the degree 1 component, g_1, thereby constructing a Freudenthal triple system. The structure of the Freudenthal triple…
The coefficient algebra of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra on a finite-dimensional representation is defined as the subalgebra generated by all coefficients of the corresponding characteristic polynomial. We explore connections between…
The Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra vanishes. If we want to extend this result to Lie superalgebras, we should deal with infinite sums. We observe that a suitable method of summation, which goes back to…
Over an arbitrary field of positive characteristic we construct an example of a locally finite variety of Lie algebras which does not have a finite basis of its polynomial identities. As a consequence we construct varieties of Lie algebras…
We present an overview of characteristic identities for Lie algebras and superalgebras. We outline methods that employ these characteristic identities to deduce matrix elements of finite dimensional representations. To demonstrate the…
The present work studies deeply quadratic symplectic Lie superalgebras, obtaining, in particular, that they are all nilpotent. Consequently, we provide classifications in low dimensions and identify the double extensions that maintain…
The five simple exceptional complex Lie superalgbras of vector fields are described. One of them is new; the other four are explicitely described for the first time. All of the exceptional Lie superalgebras are obtained with the help of the…
Recent work applying higher gauge theory to the superstring has indicated the presence of `higher symmetry'. Infinitesimally, this is realized by a `Lie 2-superalgebra' extending the Poincare superalgebra in precisely the dimensions where…
By formulating N = 1, 2, 4, 8, D = 3, Yang-Mills with a single Lagrangian and single set of transformation rules, but with fields valued respectively in R,C,H,O, it was recently shown that tensoring left and right multiplets yields a…
The "curved" super Grassmannian is the supervariety of subsupervarieties of purely odd dimension $k$ in a~supervariety of purely odd dimension $n$, unlike the "usual" super Grassmannian which is the supervariety of linear subsuperspacies of…
Classical affine Lie algebras appear e.g. as symmetries of infinite dimensional integrable systems and are related to certain differential equations. They are central extensions of current algebras associated to finite-dimensional Lie…
We show that the Heisenberg Lie algebras over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic $p>0$ admit a family of restricted Lie algebras, and we classify all such non-isomorphic restricted Lie algebra structures. We use the ordinary 1- and…
We study generalized diffeomorphisms in exceptional geometry with U-duality group E_{n(n)} from an algebraic point of view. By extending the Lie algebra e_n to an infinite-dimensional Borcherds superalgebra, involving also the extension to…
We study identities of Lie superalgebras over a field of characteristic zero. We construct a series of examples of finite-dimensional solvable Lie superalgebras with a non-nilpotent commutator subalgebra for which PI-exponent of codimension…
