On simple Lie algebras over a field of characteristic 2

We prove that the simple Lie algebras constructed by G. Jurman (2004) in 121 are isomorphic to Hamiltonian algebras. As a corollary we answer all questions formulated in G. Jurman (2004) [2] about isomorphisms of these algebras. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Polynomial and Poisson dependence in free Poisson algebras and free Poisson fields

We prove that any two Poisson dependent elements in a free Poisson algebra and a free Poisson field of characteristic zero are algebraically dependent, thus answering positively a question from Makar-Limanov and Umirbaev (2007) [8]. We apply this result to give a new proof of the tameness of automorphisms for free Poisson algebras of rank two (see Makar-Limanov and Umirbaev (2011) [9], Makar-Limanov et al. (2009) [10]).

Lie algebras and triple systems

This thesis is dedicated to the Tits-Kantor-Koecher (TKK) construction which establishes a bijective correspondence between unital Jordan algebras and shortly graded Lie algebras with Z-grading induced by an sl_2-triple. It is based on the observation that if g is a Lie algebra with a short Z-grading and f lies in g_1, then the formula ab=[[a,f],b] defines a structure of a Jordan algebra on g_{-1}. The TKK construction has been extended to Jordan triple systems and, more recently, to the so-called Kantor triple systems. These generalizations are studied in the thesis.

Representations of semisimple Lie algebras

La tesi è dedicata allo studio delle rappresentazioni delle algebre di Lie semisemplici su un campo algebricamente chiuso di caratteristica zero. Mediante il teorema di Weyl sulla completa riducibilità, ogni rappresentazione di dimensione finita di una algebra di Lie semisemplice è scrivibile come somma diretta di sottorappresentazioni irriducibili. Questo permette di poter concentrare l'attenzione sullo studio delle rappresentazioni irriducibili. Inoltre, mediante il ricorso all'algebra inviluppante universale si ottiene che ogni rappresentazione irriducibile è una rappresentazione di peso più alto. Perciò è naturale chiedersi quando una rappresentazione di peso più alto sia di dimensione finita ottenendo che condizione necessaria e sufficiente perché una rappresentazione di peso più alto sia di dimensione finita è che il peso più alto sia dominante. Immediata è quindi l'applicazione della teoria delle rappresentazioni delle algebre di Lie semisemplici nello studio delle superalgebre di Lie, in quanto costituite da un'algebra di Lie e da una sua rappresentazione, dove viene utilizzata la tecnica della Z-graduazione che viene utilizzata per la prima volta da Victor Kac nello studio delle algebre di Lie di dimensione infinita nell'articolo ''Simple irreducible graded Lie algebras of finite growth'' del 1968.

Real forms of Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras

In questa tesi abbiamo studiato le forme reali di algebre e superalgebre di Lie. Il lavoro si suddivide in tre capitoli diversi, il primo è di introduzione alle algebre di Lie e serve per dare le prime basi di questa teoria e le notazioni. Nel secondo capitolo abbiamo introdotto le algebre compatte e le forme reali. Abbiamo visto come sono correlate tra di loro tramite strumenti potenti come l'involuzione di Cartan e relativa decomposizione ed i diagrammi di Vogan e abbiamo introdotto un algoritmo chiamato "push the button" utile per verificare se due diagrammi di Vogan sono equivalenti. Il terzo capitolo segue la struttura dei primi due, inizialmente abbiamo introdotto le superalgebre di Lie con relativi sistemi di radici e abbiamo proseguito studiando le relative forme reali, diagrammi di Vogan e abbiamo introdotto anche qua l'algoritmo "push the button".

Braided m-Lie algebras

Braided m-Lie algebras induced by multiplication are introduced, which generalize Lie algebras, Lie color algebras and quantum Lie algebras. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the braided m-Lie algebras to be strict Jacobi braided Lie algebras are given. Two classes of braided m-Lie algebras are given, which are generalized matrix braided m-Lie algebras and braided m-Lie subalgebras of End(F)M, where M is a Yetter-Drinfeld module over B with dimB < infinity. In particular, generalized classical braided m-Lie algebras sl(q,f)(GM(G)(A),F) and osp(q,l)(GM(G)(A),M,F) of generalized matrix algebra GMG(A) are constructed and their connection with special generalized matrix Lie superalgebra sl(s,f)(GM(Z2)(A(s)),F) and orthosymplectic generalized matrix Lie super algebra osp(s,l) (GM(Z2)(A(s)),M-s,F) are established. The relationship between representations of braided m-Lie algebras and their associated algebras are established.

Tamed and Compatible Symplectic Forms on Four-Dimensional Almost Complex Lie Algebras

We are able to give a complete description of four-dimensional Lie algebras g which satisfy the tame-compatible question of Donaldson for all almost complex structures J on g are completely described. As a consequence, examples are given of (non-unimodular) four-dimensional Lie algebras with almost complex structures which are tamed but not compatible with symplectic forms.? Note that Donaldson asked his question for compact four-manifolds. In that context, the problem is still open, but it is believed that any tamed almost complex structure is in fact compatible with a symplectic form. In this presentation, I will define the basic objects involved and will give some insights on the proof. The key for the proof is translating the problem into a Linear Algebra setting. This is a joint work with Dr. Draghici.

Free field realizations of the elliptic affine Lie algebra sl(2, R) circle plus (Omega(R)/dR)

In this paper we construct two free field realizations of the elliptic affine Lie algebra sl(2, R) circle plus Omega(R)/dR where R = C[t. t(-1), u vertical bar u(2) = t(3) - 2bt(2) + t]. The first realization provides an analogue of Wakimoto`s construction for Affine Kac-Moody algebras, but in the setting of the elliptic affine Lie algebra. The second realization gives new types of representations analogous to Imaginary Verma modules in the Affine setting. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Non-trivial stably free modules over crossed products

We consider the class of crossed products of noetherian domains with universal enveloping algebras of Lie algebras. For algebras from this class we give a sufficient condition for the existence of projective non-free modules. This class includes Weyl algebras and universal envelopings of Lie algebras, for which this question, known as noncommutative Serre's problem, was extensively studied before. It turns out that the method of lifting of non-trivial stably free modules from simple Ore extensions can be applied to crossed products after an appropriate choice of filtration. The motivating examples of crossed products are provided by the class of RIT algebras, originating in non-equilibrium physics.

Lie group symmetry analysis for granular media stress equations

The Airy stress function, although frequently employed in classical linear elasticity, does not receive similar usage for granular media problems. For plane strain quasi-static deformations of a cohesionless Coulomb–Mohr granular solid, a single nonlinear partial differential equation is formulated for the Airy stress function by combining the equilibrium equations with the yield condition. This has certain advantages from the usual approach, in which two stress invariants and a stress angle are introduced, and a system of two partial differential equations is needed to describe the flow. In the present study, the symmetry analysis of differential equations is utilised for our single partial differential equation, and by computing an optimal system of one-dimensional Lie algebras, a complete set of group-invariant solutions is derived. By this it is meant that any group-invariant solution of the governing partial differential equation (provided it can be derived via the classical symmetries method) may be obtained as a member of this set by a suitable group transformation. For general values of the parameters (angle of internal friction and gravity g) it is found there are three distinct classes of solutions which correspond to granular flows considered previously in the literature. For the two limiting cases of high angle of internal friction and zero gravity, the governing partial differential equation admit larger families of Lie point symmetries, and from these symmetries, further solutions are derived, many of which are new. Furthermore, the majority of these solutions are exact, which is rare for granular flow, especially in the case of gravity driven flows.

Families of orthogonal functions defined by the Weyl groups of compact Lie groups

Plusieurs familles de fonctions spéciales de plusieurs variables, appelées fonctions d'orbites, sont définies dans le contexte des groupes de Weyl de groupes de Lie simples compacts/d'algèbres de Lie simples. Ces fonctions sont étudiées depuis près d'un siècle en raison de leur lien avec les caractères des représentations irréductibles des algèbres de Lie simples, mais également de par leurs symétries et orthogonalités. Nous sommes principalement intéressés par la description des relations d'orthogonalité discrète et des transformations discrètes correspondantes, transformations qui permettent l'utilisation des fonctions d'orbites dans le traitement de données multidimensionnelles. Cette description est donnée pour les groupes de Weyl dont les racines ont deux longueurs différentes, en particulier pour les groupes de rang $2$ dans le cas des fonctions d'orbites du type $E$ et pour les groupes de rang $3$ dans le cas de toutes les autres fonctions d'orbites.
