An invariant for unbounded operators

For a class of unbounded operators, a deformation of a Bott projection is used to construct an integer-valued invariant measuring deviation of the non-commutative deformations from the commutative originals, and its interpretation in terms of -theory of -algebras is given. Calculation of this invariant for specific important classes of unbounded operators is also presented.

     

Integrable Rosochatius Deformations for an Integrable Couplings of CKdV Equation Hierarchy

We propose a method to construct the integrable Rosochatius deformations for an integrable couplings equations hierarchy. As applications, the integrable Rosochatius deformations of the coupled CKdV hierarchy with self-consistent sources and its Lax representation are presented.     

Potassium Doped Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes: Resistance under Pressure

Abstract

We report in situ measurements of four-probe de resistance (R) of K-doped purified single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) “buckypaper” as a function of quasi-hydrostatic pressure. Doped samples show completely different behavior compared to that of pristine nanotubes in the pressure range up to 90 kbar. The characteristic increase in the resistance of pristine buckypaper above 10 kbar, associated with the formation of kinks or/and twists of tubes, is not observed in K-doped samples. This may originate from 1) a substantial change in electronic band structure of donor intercalated nanotubes, 2) completely different transport properties of defect structures, or 3) higher stiffness of doped SWNT's which prevents formation of kinks and twists in this pressure range. On deintercalation, the pristine behavior of R(P) is restored, establishing the reversibility of potassium vapor-transport doping.     

The Moduli Space of 3-Dimensional Associative Algebras

In this article, we give a classification of the 3-dimensional associative algebras over the complex numbers, including a construction of the moduli space, using versal deformations to determine how the space is glued together.     

Homogeneous Deformations of Brauer Tree Algebras

Abstract

Based on tilting theory, we demonstrate the existence of homogeneous deformations for the Brauer tree algebras, which are derived naturally from a tilting complex.     

A Riemann–Hilbert approach to Painlevé IV

The methods of [vdP-Sa, vdP1, vdP2] are applied to the fourth Painlevé equation. One obtains a Riemann–Hilbert correspondence between moduli spaces of rank two connections on ?¹ and moduli spaces for the monodromy data. The moduli spaces for these connections are identified with Okamoto–Painlevé varieties and the Painlevé property follows. For an explicit computation of the full group of Bäcklund transformations, rank three connections on ?¹ are introduced, inspired by the symmetric form for PIV, studied by M. Noumi and Y. Yamada.     

Solutions of the Classical Yang–Baxter Equation and Noncommutative Deformations

We show that given a finite-dimensional real Lie algebra acting on a smooth manifold P then, for any solution of the classical Yang–Baxter equation on , there is a canonical Poisson tensor on P and an associated canonical torsion-free and flat contravariant connection. Moreover, we prove that the metacurvature of this contravariant connection vanishes if the isotropy Lie subalgebras of the action are trivial. Those results permit to get a large class of smooth manifolds satisfying the necessary conditions, introduced by Eli Hawkins, to the existence of noncommutative deformations.

On Hom-Lie antialgebra

Abstract

In this paper, we introduced the notion of Hom-Lie antialgebras. The representations and cohomology theory of Hom-Lie antialgebras are investigated. We prove that the equivalent classes of abelian extensions of Hom-Lie antialgebras are in one-to-one correspondence to elements of the second cohomology group. We also prove that 1-parameter infinitesimal deformation of a Hom-Lie antialgebra are characterized by 2-cocycles of this Hom-Lie antialgebra with adjoint representation in itself. The notion of Nijenhuis operators of Hom-Lie antialgebra is introduced to describe trivial deformations.

Some Infinite-Dimensional Algebras Arising in Spin Systems and in Particle Physics and their Grand Algebra

We indicate similarities in the structure of two types of infinite-dimensional algebras, one introduced 28 years ago in connection with the mass problem of elementary particles and the other seven years ago in connection with spin systems (XY models). We show that these algebras can be considered as representations of a single Grand Algebra, the enveloping algebra of an affine Kac–Moody algebra built on the Poincaré Lie algebra. As an associative and coassociative bialgebra of operators, the latter representation of the grand algebra is a preferred nontrivial deformation of the Ising case bialgebra.
