If q : P -> M is a principal K-bundle over the compact manifold M, then any invariant symmetric V-valued bilinear form on the Lie algebra k of K defines a Lie algebra extension of the gauge algebra by a space of bundle-valued 1-forms modulo…

We calculate the first extension groups for finite-dimensional simple modules over an arbitrary generalized current Lie algebra, which includes the case of loop Lie algebras and their multivariable analogs.

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a Lie group with solvable connected component and finitely-generated component group and $\alpha\in H^2(\mathbb{G},\mathbb{S}^1)$ a cohomology class. We prove that if $(\mathbb{G},\alpha)$ is of type I then the same…

We advocate for a simple multipole expansion of the polarization density matrix. The resulting multipoles are used to construct bona fide quasiprobability distributions that appear as a sum of successive moments of the Stokes variables; the…

We generalize Quillen's $F$-isomorphism theorem, Quillen's stratification theorem, the stable transfer, and the finite generation of cohomology rings from finite groups to homotopical groups. As a consequence, we show that the category of…

We explore the group theoretical underpinning of noncommutative quantum mechanics for a system moving on the two-dimensional plane. We show that the pertinent groups for the system are the two-fold central extension of the Galilei group in…

We study cohomology for classical Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{g}$ (e.g. gl(m|n)) over the complex numbers. Using results from invariant theory, we show that there exist subsuperalgebras which detect the cohomology of $\mathfrak{g}.$…

Generalized Weyl quantization formalism for the cylindrical phase space $S^1 \times \mathbb{R}^1$ is developed. It is shown that the quantum observables relevant to the phase of linear harmonic oscillator or electromagnetic field can be…

The main object of study of this paper is the notion of 3-Lie superalgebras with superderivations. We consider a representation $(\Phi,\mathcal{P})$ of a $3$-Lie superalgebra $\mathcal{Q}$ on $\mathcal{P}$ and construct first-order…

In this article I am arguing in favour of the hypothesis that the origin of gauge and string dualities in general can be found in a higher-categorical interpretation of basic quantum mechanics. It is interesting to observe that the Galilei…

For each elliptic curve A over the rational numbers we construct a 2-periodic S^1-equivariant cohomology theory E whose cohomology ring is the sheaf cohomology of A; the homology of the sphere of the representation z^n is the cohomology of…

Let K be a connected Lie group of compact type and let T*(K) be its cotangent bundle. This paper considers geometric quantization of T*(K), first using the vertical polarization and then using a natural Kahler polarization obtained by…

For a sequence of unital tracial $C^*$-algebras $(A_n,\tau_n),$ we construct a canonical central extension of the unitary group $U(\ell^\infty (\mathbb{N},A_n)/c_0(\mathbb{N},A_n))$ by…

We discuss different proposals for the degree of polarization of quantum fields. The simplest approach, namely making a direct analogy with the classical description via the Stokes operators, is known to produce unsatisfactory results.…

We study the modular representation theory of the symmetric and alternating groups. One of the most natural ways to label the irreducible representations of a given group or algebra in the modular case is to show the unitriangularity of the…

We give some basics about homological algebra of difference representations. We consider both the difference-discrete and the difference-rational case. We define the corresponding cohomology theories and show the existence of spectral…

In this paper we study the low dimensional cohomology groups of Hom-Lie algebras and their relation with derivations, abelian extensions and crossed modules. On one hand, we introduce the notion of $\alpha$-abelian extensions and we obtain…

We prove a version of Quillen's stratification theorem in equivariant homotopy theory for a finite group $G$, generalizing the classical theorem in two directions. Firstly, we work with arbitrary commutative equivariant ring spectra as…

Hilbert--Lie groups are Lie groups whose Lie algebra is a real Hilbert space whose scalar product is invariant under the adjoint action. These infinite-dimensional Lie groups are the closest relatives to compact Lie groups. Here we study…
