Weak mirror symmetry of complex symplectic Lie algebras

A complex symplectic structure on a Lie algebra h$\mathfrak{h}$ is an integrable complex structure J$J$ with a closed non-degenerate (2,0)$(2,0)$-form. It is determined by J$J$ and the real part Ω$\Omega$ of the (2,0)$(2,0)$-form. Suppose that h$\mathfrak{h}$ is a semi-direct product g?V$\mathfrak{g}?V$, and both g$\mathfrak{g}$ and V$V$ are Lagrangian with respect to Ω$\Omega$ and totally real with respect to J$J$. This note shows that g?V$\mathfrak{g}?V$ is its own weak mirror image in the sense that the associated differential Gerstenhaber algebras controlling the extended deformations of Ω$\Omega$ and J$J$ are isomorphic.     

Classification of Lie algebras with naturally graded quasi-filiform nilradicals

The whole class of complex Lie algebras g$\mathfrak{g}$ having a naturally graded nilradical with characteristic sequence c(g)=(dimg−2,1,1)$c\left(\mathfrak{g}\right)=(dim\mathfrak{g}-2,1,1)$ is classified. It is shown that up to one exception, such Lie algebras are solvable.     

Omni-Lie 2-algebras and their Dirac structures

We introduce the notion of omni-Lie 2-algebra, which is a categorification of Weinstein’s omni-Lie algebras. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between strict Lie 2-algebra structures on 2-sub-vector spaces of a 2-vector space V$\mathbb{V}$ and Dirac structures on the omni-Lie 2-algebra gl(V)⊕V$\mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}\left(\mathbb{V}\right)\oplus \mathbb{V}$. In particular, strict Lie 2-algebra structures on V$\mathbb{V}$ itself one-to-one correspond to Dirac structures of the form of graphs. Finally, we introduce the notion of twisted omni-Lie 2-algebra to describe (non-strict) Lie 2-algebra structures. Dirac structures of a twisted omni-Lie 2-algebra correspond to certain (non-strict) Lie 2-algebra structures, which include string Lie 2-algebra structures.     

Integrable deformations of nilpotent color Lie superalgebras

In this paper we study the infinitesimal deformations of the _Z3${\mathbb{Z}}_3$-color Lie superalgebra L^n,m,p$L^{n,m,p}$. By means of these deformations all filiform _Z3${\mathbb{Z}}_3$-color Lie superalgebras can be obtained. In particular, we give a method that will allow us to determine the dimension of the subspaces that are composed by linearly integrable deformations.     

Non-Abelian fusion rules from an Abelian system

We demonstrate the emergence of non-Abelian fusion rules for excitations of a two dimensional lattice model built out of Abelian degrees of freedom. It can be considered as an extension of the usual toric code model on a two dimensional lattice augmented with matter fields. It consists of the usual C(Z_p)$\mathbb{C}\left({\mathbb{Z}}_p\right)$ gauge degrees of freedom living on the links together with matter degrees of freedom living on the vertices. The matter part is described by a n$n$ dimensional vector space which we call H_n$H_n$. The Z_p${\mathbb{Z}}_p$ gauge particles act on the vertex particles and thus H_n$H_n$ can be thought of as a C(Z_p)$\mathbb{C}\left({\mathbb{Z}}_p\right)$ module. An exactly solvable model is built with operators acting in this Hilbert space. The vertex excitations for this model are studied and shown to obey non-Abelian fusion rules. We will show this for specific values of n$n$ and p$p$, though we believe this feature holds for all n>p$n>p$. We will see that non-Abelian anyons of the quantum double of C(S₃)$\mathbb{C}\left(S_3\right)$ are obtained as part of the vertex excitations of the model with n=6$n=6$ and p=3$p=3$. Ising anyons are obtained in the model with n=4$n=4$ and p=2$p=2$. The n=3$n=3$ and p=2$p=2$ case is also worked out as this is the simplest model exhibiting non-Abelian fusion rules. Another common feature shared by these models is that the ground states have a higher symmetry than Z_p${\mathbb{Z}}_p$. This makes them possible candidates for realizing quantum computation.     

A trihamiltonian extension of the Toda lattice

A new Poisson structure is defined on a subspace of the Kupershmidt algebra, isomorphic to the space H$\mathfrak{H}$ of n×n$n\times n$ Hermitian matrices. The new Poisson structure is of Lie–Poisson type with respect to the standard Lie bracket of H$\mathfrak{H}$. This Poisson structure (together with two already known ones, obtained through a r$r$-matrix technique) allows to construct an extension of the periodic Toda lattice with n$n$ particles that fits in a trihamiltonian recurrence scheme. Some explicit examples of the construction and of the first integrals found in this way are given.     

On the Riemannian geometry of Seiberg–Witten moduli spaces

We construct a natural L²$L^2$-metric on the perturbed Seiberg–Witten moduli spaces _Mμ+${\mathfrak{M}}_{{\mu }^{+}}$ of a compact 4-manifold M$M$, and we study the resulting Riemannian geometry of _Mμ+${\mathfrak{M}}_{{\mu }^{+}}$. We derive a formula which expresses the sectional curvature of _Mμ+${\mathfrak{M}}_{{\mu }^{+}}$ in terms of the Green operators of the deformation complex of the Seiberg–Witten equations. In case M$M$ is simply connected, we construct a Riemannian metric on the Seiberg–Witten principal U(1)$U\left(1\right)$ bundle P→_Mμ+$\mathfrak{P}\to {\mathfrak{M}}_{{\mu }^{+}}$ such that the bundle projection becomes a Riemannian submersion. On a Kähler surface M$M$, the L²$L^2$-metric on _Mμ+${\mathfrak{M}}_{{\mu }^{+}}$ coincides with the natural Kähler metric on moduli spaces of vortices.     

Spin vortices in the Abelian–Higgs model with cholesteric vacuum structure

We continue the study of U(1)$U\left(1\right)$ vortices with cholesteric vacuum structure. A new class of solutions is found which represent global vortices of the internal spin field. These spin vortices are characterized by a non-vanishing angular dependence at spatial infinity, or winding. We show that despite the topological Z₂${\mathbb{Z}}_2$ behavior of SO(3)$SO\left(3\right)$ windings, the topological charge of the spin vortices is of the Z$\mathbb{Z}$ type in the cholesteric. We find these solutions numerically and discuss the properties derived from their low energy effective field theory in 1+1$1+1$ dimensions.
