Gerstenhaber structure and Deligne’s conjecture for Loday algebras

A method for establishing a Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the cohomology of Loday-type algebras is presented. This method is then applied to dendriform dialgebras and three types of trialgebras introduced by Loday and Ronco. Along the way, our results are combined with a result of McClure-Smith to prove an analogue of Deligne’s conjecture for Loday algebras.     

Construction of dialgebras through bimodules over algebras

The varieties of dialgebras (also known as Loday-type algebras) over a given type of algebra have been the subject of multiple recent developments. We provide here a construction of such dialgebra varieties via bimodules over an algebra and a surjective equivariant map. Our construction is equivalent to the KP construction (Kolesnikov–Pozhidaev construction) when departing from the set of linearized identities of the algebra variety. The novel construction simplifies the obtention of the dialgebra equations without forcing a complete linearization of the algebra identities. We illustrate the use of the novel construction providing the dialgebras associated to several varieties of algebras, including those over diverse Lie admissible algebras. We provide some novel explorations on the structure of the dialgebras which are easily articulated through our construction.     

A deformation of commutative polynomial algebras in even numbers of variables

We introduce and study a deformation of commutative polynomial algebras in even numbers of variables. We also discuss some connections and applications of this deformation to the generalized Laguerre orthogonal polynomials and the interchanges of right and left total symbols of differential operators of polynomial algebras. Furthermore, a more conceptual re-formulation for the image conjecture [18] is also given in terms of the deformed algebras. Consequently, the well-known Jacobian conjecture [8] is reduced to an open problem on this deformation of polynomial algebras.     

Universal Deformation Formulas

We give a conceptual explanation of universal deformation formulas for unital associative algebras and prove some results on the structure of their moduli spaces. We then generalize universal deformation formulas to other types of algebras and their diagrams.     

One Parameter Deformation of Symmetric Toda Lattice Hierarchy

In this paper,we study one parameter deformation of full symmetric Toda hierarchy. This deformation is induced by Hom-Lie algebras,or is the applications of Hom-Lie algebras. We mainly consider three kinds of deformation,and give solutions to deformations respectively under some conditions.     

Skew Derivations and Deformations of a Family of Group Crossed Products

We obtain deformations of a crossed product of a polynomial algebra with a group, under some conditions, from universal deformation formulas. We show that the resulting deformations are nontrivial by a comparison with Hochschild cohomology. The universal deformation formulas arise from actions of Hopf algebras generated by automorphisms and skew derivations, and are universal in the sense that they apply to deform all algebras with such Hopf algebra actions.     

Hom-Lie algebra structures on semi-simple Lie algebras

Hom-Lie algebras can be considered as a deformation of Lie algebras. In this note, we prove that the hom-Lie algebra structures on finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras are trivial. We find when a finite-dimensional semi-simple Lie algebra admits non-trivial hom-Lie algebra structures and the isomorphic classes of non-trivial hom-Lie algebras are determined.     

Koszul duality in deformation quantization and Tamarkin's approach to Kontsevich formality

Let α be a quadratic Poisson bivector on a vector space V. Then one can also consider α as a quadratic Poisson bivector on the vector space V^∗[1]. Fixed a universal deformation quantization (prediction of some complex weights to all Kontsevich graphs [12]), we have deformation quantization of the both algebras S(V^∗) and Λ(V). These are graded quadratic algebras, and therefore Koszul algebras. We prove that for some universal deformation quantization, independent on α, these two algebras are Koszul dual. We characterize some deformation quantizations for which this theorem is true in the framework of the Tamarkin's theory [19].     

Deformation of hom-Lie-Rinehart algebras

Abstract

We study formal deformations of hom-Lie-Rinehart algebras. The associated deformation cohomology that controls deformations is constructed using multiderivations of hom-Lie-Rinehart algebras.     

Associativity of Field Algebras

We study the associativity property of field algebras. After extending the notion of associativity to fields of several variables and developing some structure theorems, we define meromorphic field algebras and relate them to formally rational deformation operads.     

Quantized Weyl algebras at roots of unity

We classify the centers of the quantized Weyl algebras that are polynomial identity algebras and derive explicit formulas for the discriminants of these algebras over a general class of polynomial central subalgebras. Two different approaches to these formulas are given: one based on Poisson geometry and deformation theory, and the other using techniques from quantum cluster algebras. Furthermore, we classify the PI quantized Weyl algebras that are free over their centers and prove that their discriminants are locally dominating and effective. This is applied to solve the automorphism and isomorphism problems for this family of algebras and their tensor products.     

On Weyl structures

We characterize the relation between the geometrical properties of Weyl manifolds and the algebraic properties of the Weyl algebras (§1) and the deformation algebras associated to two conformal Weyl connections (§2). The last section is devoted to the study of the Weyl-Lyra algebras associated to a conformal Weyl connection and a conformal semisymmetric connection.     

Quantum group actions, twisting elements, and deformations of algebras

We construct twisting elements for module algebras of restricted two-parameter quantum groups from factors of their R-matrices. We generalize the theory of Giaquinto and Zhang to universal deformation formulas for catagories of module algebras and give examples arising from R-matrices of two-parameter quantum groups.     

Braided doubles and rational Cherednik algebras

We introduce and study a large class of algebras with triangular decomposition which we call braided doubles. Braided doubles provide a unifying framework for classical and quantum universal enveloping algebras and rational Cherednik algebras. We classify braided doubles in terms of quasi-Yetter-Drinfeld (QYD) modules over Hopf algebras which turn out to be a generalisation of the ordinary Yetter-Drinfeld modules. To each braiding (a solution to the braid equation) we associate a QYD-module and the corresponding braided Heisenberg double—this is a quantum deformation of the Weyl algebra where the role of polynomial algebras is played by Nichols-Woronowicz algebras. Our main result is that any rational Cherednik algebra canonically embeds in the braided Heisenberg double attached to the corresponding complex reflection group.     

On the Deformation of Lie–Yamaguti Algebras

The deformation theory of Lie–Yamaguti algebras is developed by choosing a suitable cohomology. The relationship between the deformation and the obstruction of Lie–Yamaguti algebras is obtained.     

Pieri algebras for the orthogonal and symplectic groups

We study the structure of a family of algebras which encodes an iterated version of the Pieri Rule for the complex orthogonal group. In particular, we show that each of these algebras has a standard monomial basis and has a flat deformation to a Hibi algebra. There is also a parallel theory for the complex symplectic group.     

Heisenberg doubles of quantized Poincaré algebras

We briefly analyze some general questions concerning the twist deformation of the Heisenberg double. We reconsider Heisenberg doubles based on quantized Poincaré (Hopf) algebras as illustrative examples.     

Deformation theory of abelian categories

In this paper we develop the basic infinitesimal deformation theory of abelian categories. This theory yields a natural generalization of the well-known deformation theory of algebras developed by Gerstenhaber. As part of our deformation theory we define a notion of flatness for abelian categories. We show that various basic properties are preserved under flat deformations, and we construct several equivalences between deformation problems.

     

Deformation of isolated hypersurface singularities and their moduli algebras

By the using of determinantal varieties from moduli algebras of hypersurface singularites the relation of the deformation of hypersurface singularities and the deformation of their moduli algebras is studied. For a type of hypersurface singularities a weak Torelli type result is proved. This weak Torelli type result showes that for families of hypersurface singularities the moduli algebras can be used to distinguish the complex structures of singularities at least in some weak sence.

Deformation Quantization of Symplectic Fibrations

A symplectic fibration is a fibre bundle in the symplectic category (a bundle of symplectic fibres over a symplectic base with a symplectic structure group). We find the relation between the deformation quantization of the base and the fibre, and that of the total space. We consider Fedosov's construction of deformation quantization. We generalize the Fedosov construction to the quantization with values in a bundle of algebras. We find that the characteristic class of deformation of a symplectic fibration is the weak coupling form of Guillemin, Lerman, and Sternberg. We also prove that the classical moment map could be quantized if there exists an equivariant connection.
