Following our approach to metric Lie algebras developed in math.DG/0312243 we propose a way of understanding pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces which are not semi-simple. We introduce cohomology sets (called quadratic cohomology) associated…

Motivated by M-theory, we define a new type of non-associative algebra involving usual and cubic matrices at the same time. The resulting algebra can be regarded as a two-term truncated $L_\infty$ algebra giving rise to a fundamental…

Symplectic (respectively orthogonal) triple systems provide constructions of Lie algebras (resp. superalgebras). However, in characteristic 3, it is shown that this role can be interchanged and that Lie superalgebras (resp. algebras) can be…

Recently was shown that standard odd and even-dimensional General Relativity can be obtained from a $(2n+1)$-dimensional Chern-Simons Lagrangian invariant under the $B_{2n+1}$ algebra and from a $(2n)$-dimensional Born-Infeld Lagrangian…

A classic result of Milnor shows that any 3-dimensional unimodular metric Lie algebra admits an orthonormal frame with at most three nontrivial structure constants. These frames are referred to as Milnor frames. We define extensions of…

In this paper we study the algebra of quantum observables of the Chern-Simons matrix model which was originally proposed by Susskind and Polychronakos to describe electrons in fractional quantum Hall effects. We establish the commutation…

In this paper we establish a Gr\"{o}bner-Shirshov bases theory for Lie algebras over commutative rings. As applications we give some new examples of special Lie algebras (those embeddable in associative algebras over the same ring) and…

We discover the unique, simple Lie Algebra of the Third Kind, or LATKe, that stems from codimension 6 orbifold singularities and gives rise to a kind of Yang-Mills theory which simultaneously is pure and contains matter. The root space of…

A new 3-ary non-associative algebra, which is called a semi-associative $3$-algebra, is introduced, and the double modules and double extensions by cocycles are provided. Every semi-associative $3$-algebra $(A, \{ , , \})$ has an adjacent…

We study two-dimensional integrable field theories from the viewpoint of the four-dimensional Chern-Simons-type gauge theory introduced recently. The integrable field theories are realized as effective theories for the four-dimensional…

Starting from the four normed division algebras - the real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions and octonions - a systematic procedure gives a 3-cocycle on the Poincare Lie superalgebra in dimensions 3, 4, 6 and 10. A related procedure…

In this paper, we define (cohomologically) 1-shifted Manin triples and 1-shifted Lie bialgebras, and study their properties. We derive many results that are parallel to those found in ordinary Lie bialgebras, including the double…

Triangular Lie algebras are the Lie algebras which can be faithfully represented by triangular matrices of any finite size over the real/complex number field. In the paper invariants ('generalized Casimir operators') are found for three…

We study and classify the 3-dimensional Hom-Lie algebras over $\mathbb{C}$. We provide first a complete set of representatives for the isomorphism classes of skew-symmetric bilinear products defined on a 3-dimensional complex vector space…

We show that an extended $3D$ Schr\"odinger algebra introduced in [1] can be reformulated as a $3D$ Poincar\'e algebra extended with an SO(2) R-symmetry generator and an $SO(2)$ doublet of bosonic spin-1/2 generators whose commutator closes…

We use conformal embeddings involving exceptional affine Kac-Moody algebras to derive new dualities of three-dimensional topological field theories. These generalize the familiar level-rank duality of Chern-Simons theories based on…

In this note, we use give some algebraic applications of a previous result by the author which compares the deformations parameterized by the Maurer-Cartan elements of a differential graded Lie algebra, and a differential graded Lie…

A fundamental problem in formulating higher Chern-Simons theories is the construction of a consistent higher gauge theory that circumvents the fake-flatness constraint. Here, we propose a solution to this problem using adjusted higher…

We consider how to take an orbifold reduction for the multiple M2-brane theory recently proposed by Bagger and Lambert, and discuss its relation to Chern-Simons theories. Starting from the infinite dimensional 3-algebra realized as the…

In this paper, we give some low-dimensional examples of local cocycle 3-Lie bialgebras and double construction 3-Lie bialgebras which were introduced in the study of the classical Yang-Baxter equation and Manin triples for 3-Lie algebras.…
