We prove a number of results on the structure and enumeration of palindromes and antipalindromes. In particular, we study conjugates of palindromes, palindromic pairs, rich words, and the counterparts of these notions for antipalindromes.

Hom-algebras are generalizations of algebras obtained using a twisting by a linear map. But there is a priori a freedom on where to twist. We enumerate here all the possible choices in the Lie and associative categories and study the…

There are three families of bivariate polynomial maps associated with the rank-$2$ simple complex Lie algebras $A_2, B_2 \cong C_2$ and $G_2$. It is known that the bivariate polynomial map associated with $A_2$ induces a permutation of…

This paper presents a novel approach to automatically solving arithmetic word problems. This is the first algorithmic approach that can handle arithmetic problems with multiple steps and operations, without depending on additional…

We propose a simple new combinatorial model to study spaces of acyclic Jacobi diagrams, in which they are identified with algebras of words modulo operations. This provides a starting point for a word-problem type combinatorial…

In this thesis, we introduce a new cohomology theory associated to a Lie 2-algebras and a new cohomology theory associated to a Lie 2-group. These cohomology theories are shown to extend the classical cohomology theories of Lie algebras and…

We introduce the affine Vogan diagrams of complex simple Lie algebras. These are generalizations of Vogan diagrams, and we study the involutions represented by them. We apply these diagrams to study the symmetric pairs, in particular the…

Goldman and Turaev found a Lie bialgebra structure on the vector space generated by non-trivial free homotopy classes of curves on a surface. When the surface has non-empty boundary, this vector space has a basis of cyclic reduced words in…

These are the notes of my lectures at the 1996 European Congress of Mathematicians. {} Polynomials appear in mathematics frequently, and we all know from experience that low degree polynomials are easier to deal with than high degree ones.…

In this paper we introduce a new type of exponential map in semi-simple compact Lie groups, which is related to the sub-Riemannian geometry generated by the orthogonal complement of a Cartan subalgebra in a similar way to how the group…

We give an algebraic construction of the topological graph-tree configuration pairing of Sinha and Walter beginning with the classical presentation of Lie coalgebras via coefficients of words in the associative Lie polynomial. Our work…

We construct non-power words which have small image in SL(2; 22n) for each n. In particular, the corresponding word maps are non-surjective. We also use this to construct word maps whose values are precisely the identity and a single…

We follow a stream of the history of positive matrices and positive functionals, as applied to algebraic sums of squares decompositions, with emphasis on the interaction between classical moment problems, function theory of one or several…

We generalize several important results from the perturbation theory of linear operators to the setting of semisimple orthogonal symmetric Lie algebras. These Lie algebras provide a unifying framework for various notions of matrix…

We give new applications of graded Lie algebras to: identities of standard polynomials, deformation theory of quadratic Lie algebras, cyclic cohomology of quadratic Lie algebras, $2k$-Lie algebras, generalized Poisson brackets and so on.

Let $G$ be a finite group. There is a standard theorem on the classification of $G$-equivariant finite dimensional simple commutative, associative, and Lie algebras (i.e., simple algebras of these types in the category of representations of…

Methods of solving big Boolean equations can be broadly classified as algebraic, tabular, numerical and map methods. The most prominent among these classes are the algebraic and map methods. This paper surveys and compares these two types…

We discuss various old and new definitions of the notion of a vector field on a convenient manifold that can be proved to give rise to Lie algebras, and are in finite dimensions equivalent to the standard notion of a vector field.

We give a combinatorial description of closed curves on oriented surfaces in terms of certain permutations, called charts. We describe automorphisms of curves in terms of charts and compute the total number of curves counted with…

For any positive integers m and n, the word map (x,y) -> x^m y^n is almost measure preserving on large finite simple groups G.
