The paper explores weight systems and their applications to graph and embedded graph invariants.

In this paper we study the invariant metrizability and projective metrizability problems for the special case of the geodesic spray associated to the canonical connection of a Lie group. We prove that such canonical spray is projectively Finsler metrizable if and only if it is Riemann metrizable. This result means that…

A linear connection $D$ in a Lie algebroid is said to be metrizable if there exists a Riemannian metric $h$ in the Lie algebroid such that $Dh=0$. Conditions for the linear connection $D$ to be metrizable are investigated.

A class of metrizable vector bundles in the general framework of generalized Lie algebroids have been presented in the eight reference. Using a generalized Lie algebroid we obtain the Lie algebroid generalized tangent bundle of a vector bundle. This Lie algebroid is a new example of metrizable vector bundle. A new clas…

Study on median algebra structures on Euclidean spaces and manifolds with local CAT(0) cubulation.

We explain a direct topological proof for the multiplicativity of Duflo isomorphism for arbitrary finite dimensional Lie algebras, and derive the explicit formula for the Duflo map. The proof follows a series of implications, starting with "the calculation 1+1=2 on a 4D abacus", using the study of homomorphic expansion…

Two new classes of metrizable vector bundles have been presented in the papers [1] and [4]. The Lie algebroid generalized tangent bundle of a dual vector bundle is presented. This Lie algebroid is a new example of metrizable vector bundle. A new class of Hamilton spaces, called by use, generalized Hamilton (ρ,η)-space,…

This is the second in a series of papers dedicated to studying w-knots, and more generally, w-knotted objects (w-braids, w-tangles, etc.). These are classes of knotted objects that are wider but weaker than their "usual" counterparts. To get (say) w-knots from usual knots (or u-knots), one has to allow non-planar "virt…

We construct and prove a diagrammatic version of the Duflo isomorphism between the invariant subalgebra of the symmetric algebra of a Lie algebra and the center of the universal enveloping algebra. This version implies the original for metrized Lie algebras (Lie algebras with an invariant non-degenerate bilinear form).…

The projective metrizability problem can be formulated as follows: under what conditions the geodesics of a given spray coincide with the geodesics of some Finsler space, as oriented curves. In Theorem 3.8 we reformulate the projective metrizability problem for a spray in terms of a first-order partial differential ope…

Many extensions of General Relativity are based on considering metric and affine structures as independent properties of spacetime. This leads to the possibility of introducing torsion as an independent degree of freedom. In this article we examine the effects of torsion on the affine Killing vectors of two-dimensional…

Study of quasi-Kähler metrics on complex manifolds linked to c-projective metrizability.

The paper proves metrizability and dynamics of Weil bundles.

Using elementary equalities between various cables of the unknot and the Hopf link, we prove the Wheels and Wheeling conjectures of [Bar-Natan, Garoufalidis, Rozansky and Thurston, arXiv:q-alg/9703025] and [Deligne, letter to Bar-Natan, January 1996, http://www.ma.huji.ac.il/~drorbn/Deligne/], which give, respectively,…

Three themes of general topology: quotient spaces; absolute retracts; and inverse limits - are reapproached here in the setting of metrizable uniform spaces, with an eye to applications in geometric and algebraic topology. The results include: 1) If f: A -> Y is a uniformly continuous map, where X and Y are metric spac…

We study two sorts of actions on the space of conjugacy classes of irreducible $SU_2$-representations of a knot group. One of them is an involution which comes from the algebraic structure of $SU_2$ and the other is the action by the outer automorphism group of the knot group. In particular, we consider them on an 1-di…

In this paper we investigate the following question: under what conditions can a second-order homogeneous ordinary differential equation (spray) be the geodesic equation of a Finsler space. We show that the Euler-Lagrange partial differential system on the energy function can be reduced to a first order system on this …

The paper explores non-metrizability of projective deformations of Finsler sprays.

Several authors have pointed out the connection between Barbilian's metric introduced in 1934 and the recent study of Apollonian metrics. We provide examples of various distances that can be obtained by Barbilian's metrization procedure and we discuss the relation between this metrization procedure and important Rieman…

The metrizability problem for a symmetric affine connection on a manifold, invariant with respect to a group of diffeomorphisms G, is considered. We say that the connection is G-metrizable, if it is expressible as the Levi-Civita connection of a G-invariant metric field. In this paper we analyze the G-metrizability equ…

New insights into metrizability of SO(3)-invariant connections, linking Riemann and Finsler structures.

In this paper we characterize sprays that are metrizable by Finsler functions of constant flag curvature. By solving a particular case of the Finsler metrizability problem we provide the necessary and sufficient conditions that can be used to decide whether or not a given homogeneous system of second order ordinary dif…

Study on metrizability and Ricci-flatness of Finsler spaces with Kropina metrics.

This is the first in a series of papers studying w-knotted objects (w-knots, w-braids, w-tangles, etc.), which make a class of knotted objects which is {w}ider but {w}eaker than their usual counterparts. The group of w-braids was studied (as "{w}elded braids") by Fenn-Rimanyi-Rourke and was shown to be isomorphic to th…

Develops a bialgebra theory for post-Lie algebras using geometric interpretations and bilinear forms.

In this paper, we present a study on the prolongations of representations of Lie algebras. We show that a tangent bundle of a given Lie algebra attains a Lie algebra structure. Then, we prove that this tangent bundle is algebraically isomorphic to the Lie algebra of a tangent bundle of a Lie group. Using these, we defi…

A Lie-admissible algebra gives by anticommutativity a Lie algebra. In this work we study remarkable classes of Lie-admissible algebras such as Vinberg, PreLie algebras. We compute the corresponding binary quadratic operads and study their Koszul duality. Considering Lie algebras as Lie-admissible algebras we can define…

C-projective structures are analogues of projective structures in the complex setting. The maximal dimension of the Lie algebra of c-projective symmetries of a complex connection on an almost complex manifold of C-dimension $n>1$ is classically known to be $2n^2+4n$. We prove that the submaximal dimension is equal to $…

The paper generalizes para-Kähler Lie algebras to k-para-Kähler Lie algebras and explores their structures.

We build metrized quantum vector bundles, over a generically transcendental quantum torus, from Riemannian metrics, using Rosenberg's Levi-Civita connections for these metrics. We also prove that two metrized quantum vector bundles, corresponding to positive scalar multiples of a Riemannian metric, have distance zero b…

We introduce post-Lie algebra structures on pairs of Lie algebras $(\Lg,\Ln)$ defined on a fixed vector space $V$. Special cases are LR-structures and pre-Lie algebra structures on Lie algebras. We show that post-Lie algebra structures naturally arise in the study of NIL-affine actions on nilpotent Lie groups. We obtai…

We present the linearized metrizability problem in the context of parabolic geometries and subriemannian geometry, generalizing the metrizability problem in projective geometry studied by R. Liouville in 1889. We give a general method for linearizability and a classification of all cases with irreducible defining distr…

The aim of this note is to introduce the notion of a $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebra and to prove some elementary properties of $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras, the category of $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras, the category of modules on a $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebra and extensions of $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras. …

Pseudo-Riemannian metrics with Levi-Civita connection in the projective class of a given torsion free affine connection can be obtained from (and are equivalent to) the maximal rank solutions of a certain overdetermined projectively invariant differential equation often called the metrizability equation. Dropping this …

Lie's Third Theorem, asserting that each finite-dimensional Lie algebra is the Lie algebra of a Lie group, fails in infinite dimensions. The modern account on this phenomenon is the integration problem for central extensions of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, which in turn is phrased in terms of an integration proce…

Lie algebroids and curved Lie algebras are equivalent categories.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a (regular) Hom-Lie group. We associate a Hom-Lie algebra to a Hom-Lie group and show that every regular Hom-Lie algebra is integrable. Then, we define a Hom-exponential (Hexp) map from the Hom-Lie algebra of a Hom-Lie group to the Hom-Lie group and discuss the universality of …

A pseudo $H$-type Lie algebra naturally gives rise to a conformal pseudo-subriemannian fundamental graded Lie algebras. In this paper we investigate the prolongations of the associated fundamental graded Lie algebra and the associated conformal pseudo-subriemannian fundamental graded Lie algebra. In particular, we show…
