Matrix coefficients and a Weyl correspondence for nilpotent Lie groups.
It is already known that any filiform Lie algebra which possesses a codimension 2 solvable extension is naturally graded. Here we present an alternative derivation of this result.
Generalizing the notion of matched pair of groups, we define and study matched pairs of locally compact groupoids endowed with Haar systems, in order to give new examples of measured quantum groupoids.
We investigate finite Moufang loops with a unique nonidentity commutator which are not associative, but all of whose proper subloops are associative. Curiously, perhaps, such loops turn out to be ``ring alternative'', in the sense that their loop rings are alternative rings.
Critical points of a master function associated to a simple Lie algebra come in families called the populations [11]. We prove that a population is isomorphic to the flag variety of the Langlands dual Lie algebra . The proof is based on the correspondence between critical points and differential operators called the Miura opers. For a Miura oper D, associated with a critical point of a population, we show that all solutions of the differential equation DY=0 can be written explicitly in terms...
A Q-manifold is a supermanifold equipped with an odd vector field that squares to zero. The notion of the modular class of a Q-manifold – which is viewed as the obstruction to the existence of a Q-invariant Berezin volume – is not well know. We review the basic ideas and then apply this technology to various examples, including -algebroids and higher Poisson manifolds.
We define and make an initial study of (even) Riemannian supermanifolds equipped with a homological vector field that is also a Killing vector field. We refer to such supermanifolds as Riemannian Q-manifolds. We show that such Q-manifolds are unimodular, i.e., come equipped with a Q-invariant Berezin volume.
