En utilisant la méthode du double quantique, nous construisons une -matrice universelle pour la quantification de la superalgèbre de Lie . Nous utilisons ce résultat pour construire un invariant d’entrelacs et nous montrons qu’il est égal à une spécialisation du polynôme de Dubrovnik introduit par Kauffman.
We study the Zariski closures of orbits of representations of quivers of type , ou . With the help of Lusztig’s canonical base, we characterize the rationally smooth orbit closures and prove in particular that orbit closures are smooth if and only if they are rationally smooth.
We use the computational power of rational homotopy theory to provide an explicit cochain model for the loop product and the string bracket of a simply connected closed manifold . We prove that the loop homology of is isomorphic to the Hochschild cohomology of the cochain algebra with coefficients in . Some explicit computations of the loop product and the string bracket are given.
The purpose of these survey notes is to give a presentation of a classical theorem of Nomizu [Nom54] that relates the invariant affine connections on reductive homogeneous spaces and nonassociative algebras.
