We discuss some examples of nonassociative algebras which occur in VOA (vertex operator algebra) theory and finite group theory. Methods of VOA theory and finite group theory provide a lot of nonassociative algebras to study. Ideas from nonassociative algebra theory could be useful to group theorists and VOA theorists.
The notion of deformation quantization was introduced by F.Bayen, M.Flato et al. in [1]. The basic idea is to formally deform the pointwise commutative multiplication in the space of smooth functions on a symplectic manifold to a noncommutative associative multiplication, whose first order commutator is proportional to the Poisson bracket. It is of interest to compute this quantization for naturally occuring cases. In this paper, we discuss deformations of contact algebras and give a definition...
The Evens-Lu-Weinstein representation (Q A, D) for a Lie algebroid A on a manifold M is studied in the transitive case. To consider at the same time non-oriented manifolds as well, this representation is slightly modified to (Q Aor, Dor) by tensoring by orientation flat line bundle, Q Aor=QA⊗or (M) and D or=D⊗∂Aor. It is shown that the induced cohomology pairing is nondegenerate and that the representation (Q Aor, Dor) is the unique (up to isomorphy) line representation for which the top group of...
Each Lie algebra of vector fields (e.g. those which are tangent to a foliation) of a smooth manifold définies, in a natural way, a spectral sequence which converges to the de Rham cohomology of in a finite number of steps. We prove e.g. that for all there exists a foliated compact manifold with infinite dimensional.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 17B01, 17B30, 17B40.Let Lm,c be the free m-generated metabelian nilpotent of class c Lie algebra over a field of characteristic 0. An automorphism φ of Lm,c is called normal if φ(I) = I for every ideal I of the algebra Lm,c. Such automorphisms form a normal subgroup N(Lm,c) of Aut (Lm,c) containing the group of inner automorphisms. We describe the group of normal automorphisms of Lm,c and the quotient group of Aut (Lm,c) modulo N(Lm,c).
We study formal and analytic normal forms of radial and Hamiltonian vector fields on Poisson manifolds near a singular point.
