Two geometric realizations of $F(4)$ Lie superalgebra found.

The paper realizes Lie superalgebras G(3) and F(4) as symmetries of supergeometries.

The main result of this paper is the computation of the Lie superalgebras of holomorphic vector fields on the complex $Π$-symmetric flag supermanifolds, introduced by Yu.I.~Manin. We prove that with one exception any vector field is fundamental with respect to the natural action of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak q_n(\…

Bounds on knot polynomials for Lie superalgebras of type I.

The main result of this paper is the computation of the Lie superalgebras of holomorphic vector fields on complex flag supermanifolds, introduced by Yu.I.Manin. We prove that with several exceptions any holomorphic vector field is fundamental with respect to the natural action of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak {gl}_{m…

We present a geometric construction of the exceptional Lie algebras F4 and E8 starting from the round 8- and 15-spheres, respectively, inspired by the construction of the Killing superalgebra of a supersymmetric supergravity background. (There is no supergravity in the paper.)

The study examines conditions for completeness and simplicity in hom-Lie superalgebras.

The paper defines Z-graded hom-Lie superalgebras and explores their properties.

A notion of n-Lie algebra introduced by V.T. Filippov can be viewed as a generalization of a concept of binary Lie algebra to the algebras with n-ary multiplication law. A notion of Lie algebra can be extended to Z_2-graded structures giving a notion of Lie superalgebra. Analogously a notion of n-Lie algebra can be ext…

Starting from the four normed division algebras - the real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions and octonions - a systematic procedure gives a 3-cocycle on the Poincare Lie superalgebra in dimensions 3, 4, 6 and 10. A related procedure gives a 4-cocycle on the Poincare Lie superalgebra in dimensions 4, 5, 7 and 11. In…

The note answers a question about Betti numbers for 1D Euclidean space.

Recent work applying higher gauge theory to the superstring has indicated the presence of `higher symmetry'. Infinitesimally, this is realized by a `Lie 2-superalgebra' extending the Poincare superalgebra in precisely the dimensions where the classical supersymmetric string makes sense: 3, 4, 6 and 10. In the previous …

Study uses superalgebra homology to classify 4D Engel-like Lie algebras.

From the four normed division algebras--the real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions and octonions, of dimension k=1, 2, 4 and 8, respectively--a systematic procedure gives a 3-cocycle on the Poincare superalgebra in dimensions k+2=3, 4, 6 and 10, and a 4-cocycle on the Poincare superalgebra in dimensions k+3=4, 5, 7…

New cohomology groups generalize Euler number for Lie superalgebras.

New q-series found for osp(2|2n) Lie superalgebra.

First we recall homology groups of prer Lie superalgebras. Then introducing double weighted chain spaces, we deal with pre Lie superalgebra of multi-vector fields with polynomial coefficients on n-dimensional number space. The bracket is Schouten bracket. We have several results about Euler number and Betti numbers of …

The study explores Lie superalgebras constructed from Lie algebras using Schouten-like brackets.

We determine the structure of the $*$-Lie superalgebra generated by a set of carefully chosen natural operators of an orientable WSD manifold of rank three. This Lie superalgebra is formed by global sections of a natural Lie superalgebra bundle, and turns out to be a product of $\mathbf{sl}(4,\C)$ with the full special…

We describe explicitly Lie superalgebra isomorphisms between the Lie superalgebras of first-order superdifferential operators on supermanifolds, showing in particular that any such isomorphism induces a diffeomorphism of the supermanifolds. We also prove that the group of automorphisms of such a Lie superalgebra is a s…

The paper introduces transposed Poisson superalgebras and their properties.

We discuss the correspondence between Nahm's equations, the Basu-Harvey-Terashima equations, and Lie superalgebras.

Given a finite dimensional representation of a semisimple Lie algebra there are two ways of constructing link invariants: 1) quantum group invariants using the R-matrix, 2) the Kontsevich universal link invariant followed by the Lie algebra based weight system. Le and Murakami showed that these two link invariants are …

In this paper, we show that the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{spo}(2l+2|n)$ is into the intersection of Lie superalgebra of contact vector fields $\mathcal{K}(2l+1|n)$ and the Lie superalgebra of projective vector fields $\mathfrak{pgl}(2l+2|n)$. We use mainly the embedding used by P. Mathonet and F. Radoux in "\textit{ …

Differential geometry of the quantum Lie superalgebra of the extended quantum superplane and its Z$_2$-graded Hopf algebra structure is obtained. Its Z$_2$-graded dual Hopf algebra is also given.

Novel Lie-superalgebraic description of superstring dynamics.

The abstract discusses new 3-manifold invariants and ETQFTs from Lie superalgebra representations.

The space of Lie algebra cohomology is usually described by the dimensions of components of certain degree even for the adjoint module as coefficients when the spaces of cochains and cohomology can be endowed with a Lie superalgebra structure. Such a description is rather imprecise: these dimensions may coincide for co…

We show that the coefficients of the re-normalized link invariants of the paper "Multivariable link invariants arising from Lie superalgebras of type I" are Vassiliev invariants which give rise to a canonical family of weight systems.

We determine the Killing superalgebras underpinning field theories with rigid unextended supersymmetry on Lorentzian four-manifolds by re-interpreting them as filtered deformations of $\mathbb{Z}$-graded subalgebras with maximum odd dimension of the $N{=}1$ Poincaré superalgebra in four dimensions. Part of this calcula…

The Spencer cohomology of certain graded Lie superalgebras are completely computed. This cohomology is interpreted as analogs of Riemann and Penrose tensors on supermanifolds. The results make it manifest that there is no simple generalization of Borel-Weil-Bott's theorem for Lie superalgebras.

Symmetry algebras of Killing vector fields and conformal Killing vectors fields can be extended to Killing-Yano and conformal Killing-Yano superalgebras in constant curvature manifolds. By defining $\mathbb{Z}$-gradations and filtrations of these superalgebras, we show that the second cohomology groups of them are triv…

We introduce and study a construction of higher derived brackets generated by a (not necessarily inner) derivation of a Lie superalgebra. Higher derived brackets generated by an element of a Lie superalgebra were introduced in our earlier work. Examples of higher derived brackets naturally appear in geometry and mathem…

Extends Killing superalgebras to higher dimensions and signatures.

We generalize the symmetry superalgebras of isometries and geometric Killing spinors on a manifold to include all the hidden symmetries of the manifold generated by Killing spinors in all dimensions. We show that bilinears of geometric Killing spinors produce special Killing-Yano and special conformal Killing-Yano form…

This paper generalize [7](math.GT/0601291): We construct new links invariants from g, a type I basic classical Lie superalgebra. The construction uses the existence of an unexpected replacement of the vanishing quantum dimension of typical module. Using this, we get a multivariable link invariant associated to any one …

Study examines Lie algebroids with homological sections, generalizing Q-manifolds and Lie superalgebras.

The method of double extension, introduced by A.~Medina and Ph.~Revoy, is a procedure which decomposes a Lie algebra with an invariant symmetric form into elementary pieces. Such decompositions were developed for other algebras, for instance for Lie superalgebras and associative algebras, Filippov $n$-algebras and Jord…

We recover the classification of the maximally supersymmetric bosonic backgrounds of eleven-dimensional supergravity by Lie algebraic means. We classify all filtered deformations of the $\mathbb Z$-graded subalgebras $\mathfrak{h}=\mathfrak{h}_{-2}\oplus\mathfrak{h}_{-1}\oplus\mathfrak{h}_{0}$ of the Poincaré superalge…

Let $\mathcal G$ be a Lie supergroup with Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak g$, $\mathcal M$ a supermanifold and $\mathrm{Vec}(\mathcal M)$ the set of vector fields on $\mathcal M$. Let $λ:\mathfrak g\rightarrow \mathrm{Vec}(\mathcal M)$ be an infinitesimal action, i.e. a homomorphism of Lie superalgebras. We show the existe…

Free differential algebras (FDA's) provide an algebraic setting for field theories with antisymmetric tensors. The "presentation" of FDA's generalizes the Cartan-Maurer equations of ordinary Lie algebras, by incorporating p-form potentials. An extended Lie derivative along antisymmetric tensor fields can be defined, an…

We study $n$-ary commutative superalgebras and $L_{\infty}$-algebras that possess a skew-symmetric invariant form, using the derived bracket formalism. This class of superalgebras includes for instance Lie algebras and their $n$-ary generalizations, commutative associative and Jordan algebras with an invariant form. We…

We use the manifestly conformally invariant description of a Lorentzian conformal structure in terms of a parabolic Cartan geometry in order to introduce a superalgebra structure on the space of twistor spinors and normal conformal vector fields formulated in purely algebraic terms on parallel sections in tractor bundl…
