    Omni-Lie 2-algebras and their Dirac structures

    Full text link
    We introduce the notion of omni-Lie 2-algebra, which is a categorification of Weinstein's omni-Lie algebras. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between strict Lie 2-algebra structures on 2-sub-vector spaces of a 2-vector space \V and Dirac structures on the omni-Lie 2-algebra \gl(\V)\oplus \V . In particular, strict Lie 2-algebra structures on \V itself one-to-one correspond to Dirac structures of the form of graphs. Finally, we introduce the notion of twisted omni-Lie 2-algebra to describe (non-strict) Lie 2-algebra structures. Dirac structures of a twisted omni-Lie 2-algebra correspond to certain (non-strict) Lie 2-algebra structures, which include string Lie 2-algebra structures.Comment: 23 page

    Conservative algebras of 22-dimensional algebras, II

    Full text link
    In 1990 Kantor defined the conservative algebra W(n)W(n) of all algebras (i.e. bilinear maps) on the nn-dimensional vector space. If n>1n>1, then the algebra W(n)W(n) does not belong to any well-known class of algebras (such as associative, Lie, Jordan, or Leibniz algebras). We describe automorphisms, one-sided ideals, and idempotents of W(2).W(2). Also similar problems are solved for the algebra W2W_2 of all commutative algebras on the 2-dimensional vector space and for the algebra S2S_2 of all commutative algebras with trace zero multiplication on the 2-dimensional vector space

    Irreducible Modules for the Lie Algebra of Divergence Zero Vector Fields on a Torus

    Full text link
    This paper investigates the irreducibility of certain representations for the Lie algebra of divergence zero vector fields on a torus. In "Irreducible Representations of the Lie-Algebra of the Diffeomorphisms of a d-Dimensional Torus," S. Eswara Rao constructs modules for the Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields on a d-dimensional torus, and determines the conditions for irreducibility. The current paper considers the restriction of these modules to the subalgebra of divergence zero vector fields. It is shown here that Rao's results transfer to similar irreducibility conditions for the Lie algebra of divergence zero vector fields.Comment: 13 page

    Superspace Geometrical Representations of Extended Super Virasoro Algebras

    Get PDF
    Utilizing sets of super-vector fields (derivations), explicit expressions are obtained for; (a.) the 1D, N-extended superconformal algebra, (b.) the 1D, N-extended super Virasoro algebra for N = 1, 2 and 4 and (c.) a geometrical realization (GR) covering algebra that contains the super Virasoro algebra for arbitrary values of N. By use of such vector fileds, the super Virasoro algebra is embedded as a geometrical and model-independent structure in 1D and 2D Aleph-null-extended superspace.Comment: 13 pages, Late

    On the representations and Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-equivariant normal form for solenoidal Hopf-zero singularities

    Full text link
    In this paper, we deal with the solenoidal conservative Lie algebra associated to the classical normal form of Hopf-zero singular system. We concentrate on the study of some representations and Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-equivariant normal form for such singular differential equations. First, we list some of the representations that this Lie algebra admits. The vector fields from this Lie algebra could be expressed by the set of ordinary differential equations where the first two of them are in the canonical form of a one-degree of freedom Hamiltonian system and the third one depends upon the first two variables. This representation is governed by the associated Poisson algebra to one sub-family of this Lie algebra. Euler's form, vector potential, and Clebsch representation are other representations of this Lie algebra that we list here. We also study the non-potential property of vector fields with Hopf-zero singularity from this Lie algebra. Finally, we examine the unique normal form with non-zero cubic terms of this family in the presence of the symmetry group Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 . The theoretical results of normal form theory are illustrated with the modified Chua's oscillator
