Deformation Theory is a natural generalization of Lie Theory, from Lie groups and their linearization, Lie algebras, to differential graded Lie algebras and their higher order deformations, quantum groups. The article focuses on two basic…
Screw and Lie group theory allows for user-friendly modeling of multibody systems (MBS) while at the same they give rise to computationally efficient recursive algorithms. The inherent frame invariance of such formulations allows for use of…
This is lecture notes for a course given at the PCMI Summer School "Quantum Field Theory and Manifold Invariants" (July 1 -- July 5, 2019). I describe basics of gauge-theoretic approach to construction of invariants of manifolds. The main…
Following the structure theory approach for rings, the aim of this paper is to study some distinguished classes of Lie algebras. We introduce the notion of a Lie-module and discuss some relations of it with various classes of ideals of a…
Suppose that a Lie algebra $L$ admits a finite Frobenius group of automorphisms $FH$ with cyclic kernel $F$ and complement $H$ of order 2, such that the fixed-point subalgebra of $F$ is trivial and the fixed-point subalgebra of $H$ is…
This paper presents a derivation of the parallel transport equation expressed in the Lie algebra of a Lie group endowed with a left-invariant metric.The use of this equation is exemplified on the group of rigid body motions SE(3), using…
Based mainly on examples of interest in mechanics, we define the notion of a polite group action. One may view this as not only trying to give a more general notion than properness of a group action, but also to more fully understand the…
In this easy introduction to higher gauge theory, we describe parallel transport for particles and strings in terms of 2-connections on 2-bundles. Just as ordinary gauge theory involves a gauge group, this generalization involves a gauge…
A Lie system is a non-autonomous system of first-order ordinary differential equations whose general solution can be written via an autonomous function, a so-called (nonlinear) superposition rule of a finite number of particular solutions…
There exist several approaches exploiting Lie symmetries in the reduction of boundary-value problems for partial differential equations modelling real-world phenomena to those problems for ordinary differential equations. Using an example…
In this contribution we review some of the interplay between sigma models in theoretical physics and novel geometrical structures such as Lie (n-)algebroids. The first part of the article contains the mathematical background, the definition…
In group theory the chief factors allow a group to be studied by its representation theory on particularly natural irreducible modules. It is to be expected, therefore, that they will play an important role in the study of Lie algebras. In…
The notions of \emph{Poisson Lie group} and \emph{Poisson homogeneous space} are extended to the Dirac category. The theorem of Drinfel$'$d (\cite{Drinfeld93}) on the one-to-one correspondence between Poisson homogeneous spaces of a Poisson…
Carnot groups are distinguished spaces that are rich of structure: they are those Lie groups equipped with a path distance that is invariant by left-translations of the group and admit automorphisms that are dilations with respect to the…
The Butcher group is a powerful tool to analyse integration methods for ordinary differential equations, in particular Runge--Kutta methods. In the present paper, we complement the algebraic treatment of the Butcher group with a natural…
Algebraic geometry for groups and Lie algebraic has been recently defined and studied by many authors on the purpose to study set defined by algebraic equations on abstract groups and Lie algebras. The purpose of this paper is to present a…
In this lecture we review apprearance of the Riemann-Roch Theorem in classical function theory, Algebraic topology, in theory of pseudo-differential operators and finally in noncommutative geometry. We show also it usefulness in many…
Tulczyjew triple for physical systems with configuration manifold equipped with Lie group structure is constructed and discussed. The case of systems invariant with respect to group acton is considered together with appropriate reduction of…
Starting from square-integrable wave functions on a Lie group, we build an invertible Fourier transform mapping them on wave functions on the dual of the Lie algebra. This is a group-theoretic version of the map from position space to…
We reformulate the Omega-deformation of four-dimensional gauge theory in a way that is valid away from fixed points of the associated group action. We use this reformulation together with the theory of coisotropic A-branes to explain recent…
