Universal central extension and the second invariant of homology of crossed modules in lie algebras

In this paper we show that the kernel of the universal central extension of a crossed module in Lie algebras is the second invariant of this crossed module. As a consequence of this result we obtain a recognition criterion for universal central extensions and a vanishing situation of two invariants associated to a crossed module in Lie algebras.     

A non-abelian tensor product of precrossed modules in lie algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the non-abelian tensor square of precrossed modules in Lie algebras and investigate some of its properties. In particular, for an arbitrary Lie algebra L, we study the relation of the second homology of a precrossed L-module and the non-abelian exterior square. Also, we show how this non-abelian tensor product is related to the universal central extensions (with respect to the subcategory of crossed modules) of a precrossed module.     

On non-Abelian Leibniz cohomology

In this note, by using a generalized notion of the Leibniz algebra of derivations, we present the constructions of the zero, first, and second non-Abelian Leibniz cohomologies with coefficients in crossed modules, which generalize the classical zero, first, and second Leibniz cohomology. For Lie algebras we compare the non-Abelian Leibniz and Lie cohomologies. We describe the second non-Abelian Leibniz cohomology via extensions of Leibniz algebras by crossed modules.     

Capability of Crossed Modules of Lie Algebras

In this paper, we introduce the concept of capability for crossed modules of Lie algebras, which is a generalization of capability in Lie algebras and groups. By using a special central ideal of a crossed module, we give a sufficient condition for the capability of a crossed module of Lie algebras. Also, we will extend the five-term exact sequence on homology of crossed modules of Lie algebras one term further and study the connection between the capability of crossed modules and this sequence. Finally, we study the relation between the capability and the center of a cover of a crossed module.     

On universal central extensions of precrossed and crossed modules

We study the connection between universal central extensions in the categories of precrossed and crossed modules. They are compared with several kinds of universal central extensions in the categories of groups, epimorphisms of groups, groups with operators and modules over a group. We study the relationship between the homologies defined in these categories. Applications to relative algebraic K-theory are also obtained.     

Ganea Term for the Homology of Precrossed Modules

We construct a Ganea term for the homology of precrossed modules, which generalizes the classical Ganea term for the integral homology of groups. We also introduce a central precrossed submodule which relates the Ganea term with capable, unicentral and perfect precrossed modules. Finally, we apply these constructions to the resolution of some open questions in the theory of universal central extensions of precrossed and crossed modules.     

Universal central extensions of Lie conformal algebras,Part 2: Supercase

In the previous part of this study we considered universal central extensions of Lie conformal algebras and conditions for existence of such extensions. The aim of this paper is some refinement of previous results and extension of these results to Lie conformal superalgebras.     

SUPERSYMMETRIC INVARIANCE AND UNIVERSAL CENTRAL EXTENSIONS OF LIE SUPERTRIPLE SYSTEMS

In this article, we discuss some properties of a supersymmetric invariant bilinear form on Lie supertriple systems. In particular, a supersymmetric invariant bilinear form on Lie supertriple systems can be extended to its standard imbedding Lie superalgebras. Furthermore, we generalize Garland＇s theory of universal central extensions for Lie supertriple systems following the classical one for Lie superalgebras. We solve the problems of lifting automorphisms and lifting derivations.     

Steinberg unitary Lie conformal algebras

Crossed Modules for Lie 2-Algebras

We define the notion of crossed modules for Lie 2-algebras. To a given crossed module, we associate a strict Lie 3-algebra structure on its mapping cone complex and a strict Lie 2-algebra structure on its derivations. Finally, we classify strong crossed modules by means of the third cohomology group of Lie 2-algebras.     

Restricted Lie 2-algebras

In this article, we introduce the notions of restricted Lie 2-algebras and crossed modules of restricted Lie algebras, and give a series of examples of restricted Lie 2-algebras. We also construct restricted Lie 2-algebras from A(m)-algebras, restricted Leibniz algebras, restricted right-symmetric algebras. Finally, we prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between strict restricted Lie 2-algebras and crossed modules of restricted Lie algebras.     

Universal Central Extensions of Lie Groups

We call a central Z-extension of a group G weakly universal for an Abelian group A if the correspondence assigning to a homomorphism ZA the corresponding A-extension yields a bijection of extension classes. The main problem discussed in this paper is the existence of central Lie group extensions of a connected Lie group G which is weakly universal for all Abelian Lie groups whose identity components are quotients of vector spaces by discrete subgroups. We call these Abelian groups regular. In the first part of the paper we deal with the corresponding question in the context of topological, Fréchet, and Banach–Lie algebras, and in the second part we turn to the groups. Here we start with a discussion of the weak universality for discrete Abelian groups and then turn to regular Lie groups A. The main results are a Recognition and a Characterization Theorem for weakly universal central extensions.

Twisted affine Lie superalgebra of type Q and quantization of its enveloping superalgebra

We introduce a new quantum group which is a quantization of the enveloping superalgebra of a twisted affine Lie superalgebra of type Q. We study generators and relations for superalgebras in the finite and twisted affine cases, and also universal central extensions. Afterwards, we apply the FRT formalism to a certain solution of the quantum Yang–Baxter equation to define that new quantum group and we study some of its properties. We construct a functor of Schur–Weyl type which connects it to affine Hecke–Clifford algebras and prove that it provides an equivalence between two categories of modules.
