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.     

Non-restricted representations of simple Lie superalgebras of special type and Hamiltonian type

Let F be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic p > 2,and g be a simple Lie superalgebra of special type or Hamiltonian type over F.We construct the simple g-modules with non-singular characters of height more than one,and some simple modules with singular characters of height more than five.Furthermore,for the case of special type Lie superalgebras,we also construct a class of simple modules with regular semisimple characters of height one.All those simple modules mentioned above are proved to be reduced Kac modules.     

Cell Decompositions of Quiver Flag Varieties for Nilpotent Representations of the Cyclic Quiver

Generalizing Schubert cells in type A and a cell decomposition of Springer fibres in type A found by L. Fresse we prove that varieties of complete flags in nilpotent representations of a cyclic quiver admit an affine cell decomposition parametrized by multi-tableaux. We show that they carry a torus operation with finitely many fixpoints. As an application of the cell decomposition we obtain a vector space basis of certain modules (for quiver Hecke algebras of nilpotent representations of this quiver), similar modules have been studied by Kato as analogues of standard modules.     

From Lie algebra crossed modules to tensor hierarchies

The present paper, though inspired by the use of tensor hierarchies in theoretical physics, establishes their mathematical credentials, especially as genetically related to Lie algebra crossed modules. Gauging procedures in supergravity rely on a pairing – the embedding tensor – between a Leibniz algebra and a Lie algebra. Two such algebras, together with their embedding tensor, form a triple called a Lie-Leibniz triple, of which Lie algebra crossed modules are particular cases. This paper is devoted to showing that any Lie-Leibniz triple induces a differential graded Lie algebra – its associated tensor hierarchy – whose restriction to the category of Lie algebra crossed modules is the canonical assignment associating to any Lie algebra crossed module its corresponding unique 2-term differential graded Lie algebra. This shows that Lie-Leibniz triples form natural generalizations of Lie algebra crossed modules and that their associated tensor hierarchies can be considered as some kind of ‘lie-ization’ of the former. We deem the present construction of such tensor hierarchies clearer and more straightforward than previous derivations. We stress that such a construction suggests the existence of further well-defined Leibniz gauge theories.     

Representations of étale Lie groupoids and modules over Hopf algebroids

The classical Serre-Swan’s theorem defines an equivalence between the category of vector bundles and the category of finitely generated projective modules over the algebra of continuous functions on some compact Hausdorff topological space. We extend these results to obtain a correspondence between the category of representations of an étale Lie groupoid and the category of modules over its Hopf algebroid that are of finite type and of constant rank. Both of these constructions are functorially defined on the Morita category of étale Lie groupoids and we show that the given correspondence represents a natural equivalence between them.     

Wiener–Tauberian type theorems for radial sections of homogenous vector bundles on certain rank one Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type

We will show that an uniform treatment yields Wiener–Tauberian type results for various Banach algebras and modules consisting of radial sections of some homogenous vector bundles on rank one Riemannian symmetric spaces G/K of noncompact type. One example of such a vector bundle is the spinor bundle. The algebras and modules we consider are natural generalizations of the commutative Banach algebra of integrable radial functions on G/K. The first set of them are Beurling algebras with analytic weights, while the second set arises due to Kunze–Stein phenomenon for noncompact semisimple Lie groups.     

Differential-operator representations of Weyl group and singular vectors in Verma modules

Given a suitable ordering of the positive root system associated with a semisimple Lie algebra,there exists a natural correspondence between Verma modules and related polynomial algebras. With this, the Lie algebra action on a Verma module can be interpreted as a differential operator action on polynomials, and thus on the corresponding truncated formal power series. We prove that the space of truncated formal power series gives a differential-operator representation of the Weyl group W. We also introduce a system of partial differential equations to investigate singular vectors in the Verma module. It is shown that the solution space of the system in the space of truncated formal power series is the span of {w(1) | w ∈ W }. Those w(1) that are polynomials correspond to singular vectors in the Verma module. This elementary approach by partial differential equations also gives a new proof of the well-known BGG-Verma theorem.     

On Tensor Products of Simple Modules for Simple Groups

In an attempt to get some information on the multiplicative structure of the Green ring we study algebraic modules for simple groups, and associated groups such as quasisimple and almost-simple groups. We prove that, for almost all groups of Lie type in defining characteristic, the natural module is non-algebraic. For alternating and symmetric groups, we prove that the simple modules in p-blocks with defect groups of order p ² are algebraic, for p?≤?5. Finally, we analyze nine sporadic groups, finding that all simple modules are algebraic for various primes and sporadic groups.     

Hopf structures on ambiskew polynomial rings

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for an ambiskew polynomial ring to have a Hopf algebra structure of a certain type. This construction generalizes many known Hopf algebras, for example U(sl₂), U_q(sl₂) and the enveloping algebra of the three-dimensional Heisenberg Lie algebra. In a torsion-free case we describe the finite-dimensional simple modules, in particular their dimensions, and prove a Clebsch-Gordan decomposition theorem for the tensor product of two simple modules. We construct a Casimir type operator and prove that any finite-dimensional weight module is semisimple.     

Weyl modules, Demazure modules, KR-modules, crystals, fusion products and limit constructions

We study finite-dimensional representations of current algebras, loop algebras and their quantized versions. For the current algebra of a simple Lie algebra of type ADE, we show that Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules and Weyl modules are in fact all Demazure modules. As a consequence one obtains an elementary proof of the dimension formula for Weyl modules for the current and the loop algebra. Further, we show that the crystals of the Weyl and the Demazure module are the same up to some additional label zero arrows for the Weyl module.For the current algebra Cg of an arbitrary simple Lie algebra, the fusion product of Demazure modules of the same level turns out to be again a Demazure module. As an application we construct the Cg-module structure of the Kac-Moody algebra -module V(?Λ₀) as a semi-infinite fusion product of finite-dimensional Cg-modules.     

Categorification of (induced) cell modules and the rough structure of generalised Verma modules

This paper presents categorifications of (right) cell modules and induced cell modules for Hecke algebras of finite Weyl groups. In type A we show that these categorifications depend only on the isomorphism class of the cell module, not on the cell itself. Our main application is multiplicity formulas for parabolically induced modules over a reductive Lie algebra of type A, which finally determines the so-called rough structure of generalised Verma modules. On the way we present several categorification results and give a positive answer to Kostant's problem from [A. Joseph, Kostant's problem, Goldie rank and the Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture, Invent. Math. 56 (3) (1980) 191-213] in many cases. We also present a general setup of decategorification, precategorification and categorification.     

The Lie theory of the Rankin-Cohen brackets and allied bi-differential operators

The Lie theoretic nature of the Rankin-Cohen brackets is here uncovered. These bilinear operations, which, among other purposes, were devised to produce a holomorphic automorphic form from any pair of such forms, are instances of SL(2,R)-equivariant holomorphic bi-differential operators on the upper half-plane. All of the latter are here characterized and explicitly obtained, by establishing their one-to-one correspondence with singular vectors in the tensor product of two sl(2,C) Verma modules. The Rankin-Cohen brackets arise in the generic situation where the linear span of the singular vectors of a given weight is one-dimensional. The picture is completed by the special brackets which appear for the finite number of pairs of initial lowest weights for which the above space is two-dimensional. Explicit formulæ for basis vectors in both situations are obtained and universal Lie algebraic objects subsuming all of them are exhibited. A few applications of these results and Lie theoretic approach are then considered. First, a generalization of the latter yields Rankin-Cohen type brackets for Hilbert modular forms. Then, some Rankin-Cohen brackets are shown to intertwine the tensor product of two holomorphic discrete series representations of SL(2,R) with another such representation occurring in the tensor product decomposition. Finally, the sought for precise relationship between the Rankin-Cohen brackets and Gordan's transvection processes of the nineteenth century invariant theory is unveiled.     

Low Dimensional Cohomology of Hom-Lie Algebras and q-deformed W（2, 2） Algebra

This paper aims to study low dimensional cohomology of Hom-Lie algebras and the qdeformed W(2, 2) algebra. We show that the q-deformed W(2, 2) algebra is a Hom-Lie algebra. Also,we establish a one-to-one correspondence between the equivalence classes of one-dimensional central extensions of a Hom-Lie algebra and its second cohomology group, leading us to determine the second cohomology group of the q-deformed W(2, 2) algebra. In addition, we generalize some results of derivations of finitely generated Lie algebras with values in graded modules to Hom-Lie algebras.As application, we compute all αk-derivations and in particular the first cohomology group of the q-deformed W(2, 2) algebra.     

Whittaker modules for a Lie algebra of Block type

In this paper, we study Whittaker modules for a Lie algebra of Block type. We define Whittaker modules and under some conditions, obtain a bijective correspondence between the set of isomorphism classes of Whittaker modules over this algebra and the set of ideals of a polynomial ring, parallel to a result from the classical setting and the case of the Virasoro algebra.     

Composition-diamond lemma for modules

We investigate the relationship between the Gröbner-Shirshov bases in free associative algebras, free left modules and “double-free” left modules (that is, free modules over a free algebra). We first give Chibrikov’s Composition-Diamond lemma for modules and then we show that Kang-Lee’s Composition-Diamond lemma follows from it. We give the Gröbner-Shirshov bases for the following modules: the highest weight module over a Lie algebra sl ₂, the Verma module over a Kac-Moody algebra, the Verma module over the Lie algebra of coefficients of a free conformal algebra, and a universal enveloping module for a Sabinin algebra. As applications, we also obtain linear bases for the above modules.     

Lie algebroid structures on double vector bundles and representation theory of Lie algebroids

A VB-algebroid is essentially defined as a Lie algebroid object in the category of vector bundles. There is a one-to-one correspondence between VB-algebroids and certain flat Lie algebroid superconnections, up to a natural notion of equivalence. In this setting, we are able to construct characteristic classes, which in special cases reproduce characteristic classes constructed by Crainic and Fernandes. We give a complete classification of regular VB-algebroids, and in the process we obtain another characteristic class of Lie algebroids that does not appear in the ordinary representation theory of Lie algebroids.
