48 results for higher derivatives

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…

In this paper, we generalize the covariant derivative of \cite{BPH} and construct covariant deri…
