Verma-Type Modules for Quantum Affine Lie Algebras

Let be an untwisted affine Kac–Moody algebra and M_J() a Verma-type module for with J-highest weight P. We construct quantum Verma-type modules M_J^q() over the quantum group , investigate their properties and show that M_J^q() is a true quantum deformation of M_J() in the sense that the weight structure is preserved under the deformation. We also analyze the submodule structure of quantum Verma-type modules. Presented by A.

Analytic Rank of Graph Algebras and Quantum Spaces

We show that the analytic rank, as defined by Murphy, of a unitalgraph C*-algebra is either 1 or 0, depending on whether or notthe underlying graph possesses an initial loop. As a corollary,we show that the analytic rank of certain quantum spaces (includingsome quantum spheres, projective spaces and lens spaces) is1. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 46L05, 46L65, 46L87.     

Vertex Algebras, Lie Algebras, and Superstrings

We construct Lie algebras from vertex superalgebras and study their structure. They are sometimes generalized Kac–Moody algebras. In some special cases we can calculate the multiplicities of the roots.     

BRST Operator for Quantum Lie Algebras and Differential Calculus on Quantum Groups

For a Hopf algebra , we define the structures of differential complexes on two dual exterior Hopf algebras: (1) an exterior extension of and (2) an exterior extension of the dual algebra ^*. The Heisenberg double of these two exterior Hopf algebras defines the differential algebra for the Cartan differential calculus on . The first differential complex is an analogue of the de Rham complex. When ^* is a universal enveloping algebra of a Lie (super)algebra, the second complex coincides with the standard complex. The differential is realized as an (anti)commutator with a BRST operator Q. We give a recursive relation that uniquely defines the operator Q. We construct the BRST and anti-BRST operators explicitly and formulate the Hodge decomposition theorem for the case of the quantum Lie algebra U _q(gl(N)).

令C_q:=C_q[t₁^±1,t₂^±1,t₃^±1]为量子环面结合代数,L_q=C_q/C为量子环面李代数。本文定义了一个与q=（qij）_i,j=1³相关的指数方程体系,称之为C_q的特征方程组。通过这个特征方程组,证明了L_q是非单的当且仅当特征方程组在Z³中有非零解。对于|q|=0,证明了在C_q中存在一个极大交换子代数I,并且I严格包含中心Z（C_q）。同时文中也指出,对于|q|≠0,在C_q中不存在这样的子代数。

Foundations of the Theory of Dual Lie Algebras

In this paper we introduce and study dual Lie algebras, i.e., Lie algebras over the algebra of dual numbers. We establish some fundamental properties of such Lie algebras and compare them with the corresponding properties of real and complex Lie algebras. We discuss the question of classification of dual Lie algebras of small dimension and consider the connection of dual Lie algebras with approximate Lie algebras.     

Simple Multilinear Algebras, Rectangular Matrices and Lie Algebras

The paper investigates simple multilinear algebras, known as comtrans algebras, that are determined by Lie algebras and by pairs of matrices. The two classes of algebras obtained in this way separate, except for the vector triple product algebra.     

On the Quantum KPRV Determinants for Semisimple and Affine Lie Algebras

Let g be a semisimple or affine Lie algebra and U _q (g) its quantized enveloping algebra. Extending earlier work, the KPRV determinant for an admissible integrable U _q (g) module V relative to a parabolic subalgebra pg is defined and shown to be nonzero. These determinants had previously been evaluated for g semisimple and p a Borel subalgebra. The present results can be used to extend this to g affine as will be shown in a subsequent publication.For a parabolic subalgebra the evaluation of these determinants is much more difficult. For appropriate overalgebras of the primitive quotients of the enveloping algebra U(g) defined by one-dimensional representations of p, these determinants had been calculated for g semisimple. However the quantum case is interesting because it is unnecessary to pass to overalgebras and besides for U(g):g affine, it is not even clear how these determinants should be defined. Here for g semisimple, the degrees of the determinants are computed and shown to depend on being the same type of functions as in the enveloping algebra case; yet in a different fashion. Some special cases (in type A ₄) are computed explicity. Here, as in the Borel case, the determinants take a remarkably simple form and notably can be expressed as a product of linear factors. However compared to the enveloping algebra case one finds additional factors corresponding to what are called quantum zeros and whose origin remains unknown.     

Invariant Lie Algebras and Lie Algebras with a Small Centroid

A subalgebra of a Lie algebra is said to be invariant if it is invariant under the action of some Cartan subalgebra of that algebra. A known theorem of Melville says that a nilpotent invariant subalgebra of a finite-dimensional semisimple complex Lie algebra has a small centroid. The notion of a Lie algebra with small centroid extends to a class of all finite-dimensional algebras. For finite-dimensional algebras of zero characteristic with semisimple derivations in a sufficiently broad class, their centroid is proved small. As a consequence, it turns out that every invariant subalgebra of a finite-dimensional reductive Lie algebra over an arbitrary definition field of zero characteristic has a small centroid.     

Solvable Lie Algebras, Lie Groups andPolynomial Structures

In this paper, we study polynomial structures by starting on the Lie algebra level, thenpassing to Lie groups to finally arrive at the polycyclic-by-finite group level. To be more precise,we first show how a general solvable Lie algebra can be decomposed into a sum of two nilpotentsubalgebras. Using this result, we construct, for any simply connected, connected solvable Lie groupG of dim n, a simply transitive action on R ⁿ which is polynomial and of degree n³. Finally, we show the existence of a polynomial structure on any polycyclic-by-finite group , which is of degree h()³ on almost the entire group (h () being the Hirsch length of ).     

Topological Graph Polynomial and Quantum Field Theory Part II: Mehler Kernel Theories

We define a new topological polynomial extending the Bollobás–Riordan one, which obeys a four-term reduction relation of the deletion/contraction type and has a natural behaviour under partial duality. This allows to write down a completely explicit combinatorial evaluation of the polynomials, occurring in the parametric representation of the non-commutative Grosse–Wulkenhaar quantum field theory. An explicit solution of the parametric representation for commutative field theories based on the Mehler kernel is also provided.     

Lie Algops and Simple Lie Algebras

ABSTRACT

Pairs (A, L) with A a commutative algebra and L a Lie algebra acting on A by derivations, called Lie algops, are studied as algebraic structures over arbitrary fields of arbitrary characteristic. Lie algops possess modules and tensor products—and are considered with respect to a central simple theory.

The simplicity problem of determining the faithful unital simple Lie algops ( A, L ) is of interest since the corresponding Lie algebras AL are usually simple (Jordan, 2000 Jordan , D. A. ( 2000 ). On the simplicity of Lie algebras of derivations of commutative algebras . J. Algebra 228 : 580 – 585 . [CSA] [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). For locally finite Lie algops, and up to purely inseparable descent, this problem reduces by way of closures to the closed central simplicity problem of determining those which are closed central simple.

The simplicity and representation theories for locally nilpotent separably triangulable unital Lie algops are of particular interest because they relate to the problems of classifying simple Lie algebras of Witt type and their representations. Of these, the simplicity theory reduces to that of Jordan Lie algops.

The main Theorems 7.3 and 7.4 reduce the simplicity and representation theories for Jordan Lie algops to the simplicity and representation theories for simple nil and toral Lie algops.
