The Kuranishi space of complex parallelisable nilmanifolds

Sönke Rollenske (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We show that the deformation space of complex parallelisable nilmanifolds can be described by polynomial equations but is almost never smooth. This is remarkable since these manifolds have trivial canonical bundle and are holomorphic symplectic in even dimension. We describe the Kuranishi space in detail in several examples and also analyse when small deformations remain complex parallelisable.

The local integration of Leibniz algebras

Simon Covez (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

This article gives a local answer to the coquecigrue problem for Leibniz algebras, that is, the problem of finding a generalization of the (Lie) group structure such that Leibniz algebras are the corresponding tangent algebra structure. Using links between Leibniz algebra cohomology and Lie rack cohomology, we generalize the integration of a Lie algebra into a Lie group by proving that every Leibniz algebra is isomorphic to the tangent Leibniz algebra of a local Lie rack. This article ends with...

The Magic Square and symmetric Compositions.

Alberto Elduque (2004)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

The new construction given by Barton and Sudbery of the Freudenthal-Tits magic square, which includes the exceptional classical simple Lie algebras, will be interpreted and extended by using a pair of symmetric composition algebras, instead of the standard unital composition algebras.
