A super Lie group is a group whose operations are $G^{\infty}$ mappings in the sense of Rogers. Thus the underlying supermanifold possesses an atlas whose transition functions are $G^{\infty}$ functions. Moreover the images of our charts are open subsets of a graded infinite-dimensional Banach space since our space of …

Paper constructs super integrable systems on color Lie algebra.

Classifies non-integrable distributions with simple infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras of symmetries.

During the last decades algebraization of space turned out to be a promising tool at the interface between Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. Starting with works by Gel'fand-Kolmogoroff and Gel'fand-Naimark, this branch developed as from the fortieth in two directions: algebraic characterization of usual geometric sp…

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

The hidden M-algebra is integrated into a super-Lie group, allowing for compactification of extra dimensions.

We derive the canonical forms of super Riemannian metrics and the local isometry groups of such metrics. For certain super metrics we also compute the simply connected covering groups of the local isometry groups and interpret these as local spin groups of the super metric. Using a generalization of a Theorem of Rogers…

Unified super-symmetry and higher fluxes using super-Lie-infinity algebras.

We formalize higher dimensional and higher gauge WZW-type sigma-model local prequantum field theory, and discuss its rationalized/perturbative description in (super-)Lie n-algebra homotopy theory (the true home of the "FDA"-language used in the supergravity literature). We show generally how the intersection laws for s…

Odd Khovanov homology gets a new algebraic action from super foams.

In this paper we will prove a super-analogue of a well-known result by Kontsevich which states that the homology of a certain complex which is generated by isomorphism classes of oriented graphs can be calculated as the Lie algebra homology of an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra of symplectic vector fields.

We show that $L_{\infty}$-algebroids, understood in terms of Q-manifolds can be described in terms of certain higher Schouten and Poisson structures on graded (super)manifolds. This generalises known constructions for Lie (super)algebras and Lie algebroids.

Novel Lie-superalgebraic description of superstring dynamics.

We study how to generate new Lie algebras $\mathcal{G}(N_0,..., N_p,...,N_n)$ from a given one $\mathcal{G}$. The (order by order) method consists in expanding its Maurer-Cartan one-forms in powers of a real parameter $λ$ which rescales the coordinates of the Lie (super)group $G$, $g^{i_p} \to λ^p g^{i_p}$, in a way su…

Extends Wigner's representation to study super hyperbolic geometry.

A class of Z_2-graded Lie algebra and Lie superalgebra extensions of the pseudo-orthogonal algebra of a spacetime of arbitrary dimension and signature is investigated. They have the form g = g_0 + g_1, with g_0 = so(V) + W_0 and g_1 = W_1, where the algebra of generalized translations W = W_0 + W_1 is the maximal solva…

Revives Vogel's diagrammatic technique for universal Lie algebra computations.

Constructs local superconformal algebras on supermanifolds.

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. …

New weight systems derived from a specific Lie algebra for knot invariants.

The thesis explores kinematical symmetries beyond Lorentzian spacetime.

A degree 1 non-negative graded super manifold equipped with a degree 1 vector field Q satisfying [Q, Q]=1, namely a so-called NQ-1 manifold is, in plain differential geometry language, a Lie algebroid. We introduce a notion of fibration for such super manifols, that essentially involves a complete Ehresmann connection.…

We propose a model in which a spliced vector bundle (with an arbitrary number of gauge structures in the splice) possesses a geometry which do not split. The model employs connection 1-forms with values in a space-product of Lie algebras, and therefore interlaces the various gauge structures in a non-trivial manner. Sp…

Let M_0=G_0/H be a (pseudo)-Riemannian homogeneous spin manifold, with reductive decomposition g_0=h+m and let S(M_0) be the spin bundle defined by the spin representation Ad:H->\GL_R(S) of the stabilizer H. This article studies the superizations of M_0, i.e. its extensions to a homogeneous supermanifold M=G/H whose sh…

Lie groups of automorphisms of cotangent bundles of Lie groups are completely characterized and interesting results are obtained. We give prominence to the fact that the Lie groups of automorphisms of cotangent bundles of Lie groups are super symmetric Lie groups. In the cases of orthogonal Lie lgebras, semi-simple Lie…

Extends Killing superalgebras to higher dimensions and signatures.

Recent work applying higher gauge theory to the superstring has indicated the presence of 'higher symmetry', and the same methods work for the super-2-brane. In the previous paper in this series, we used a geometric technique to construct a 'Lie 2-supergroup' extending the Poincare supergroup in precisely those spaceti…

Vogel's construction links knot invariants to Lie algebras, revealing new insights.

Aim of this article is to introduce the notion of integral and geodesic flows on P-supermanifolds as certain partial actions of R . First I introduce the concept of parametrization over a `small' super algebra P, which leads to the notion of P-objects and is superized local deformation theory. It is shown how parametri…

The definition of Kaehler manifold is superized. In the super setting, it admits a continuous parameter, unlike their analogs on manifolds. This parameter runs the same singular supervariety of parameters that parameterize deformations of the Schouten bracket (a.k.a. Buttin bracket, a.k.a. anti-bracket) considered as d…

Study super cluster algebras from super Plücker and Ptolemy relations.

Constructs 2-vector bundles and 2K-theory for Lie groupoids and 2-equivariant settings.

In this paper we generalize some results of Richard Palais to the case of Lie supergroups and Lie superalgebras. More precisely, let $G$ be a Lie supergroup, $\mathfrak g$ its Lie superalgebra and let $ρ$ be an infinitesimal action (a representation) of $\mathfrak g$ on a supermanifold $M$. We will show that there alwa…

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

Let $λ: \tilde{G}\to G$ be the non-trivial double covering of the symplectic group $G=Sp(V,ω)$ of the symplectic vector space $(V,ω)$ by the metaplectic group $\tilde{G}=Mp(V,ω).$ In this case, $λ$ is also a representation of $\tilde{G}$ on the vector space $V$ and thus, it gives rise to the representation of $\tilde{G…

It is known that there exists a natural functor $Φ$ from Lie supergroups to super Harish-Chandra pairs. A functor going backwards, that associates a Lie supergroup with each super Harish-Chandra pair, yielding an equivalence of categories, was found by Koszul [18]; this result was later extended by other authors, to di…

On every split supermanifold equipped with the Rothstein even super-Poisson bracket we construct a deformation quantization by means of a Fedosov-type procedure. In other words, the supercommutative algebra of all smooth sections of the dual Grassmann algebra bundle of an arbitrarily given vector bundle E (equipped wit…

Researchers extend geometric quantization to complex Abelian Lie supergroups.

With the usual definition of a super Hilbert space and a super unitary representation, it is easy to show that there are lots of super Lie groups for which the left-regular representation is not super unitary. I will argue that weakening the definition of a super Hilbert space (by allowing the super scalar product to b…

Defines super stable maps and proves quotient superorbifolds for genus zero.

Modified Hennings invariant defined using quantum groups and integrals.

We define F-algebra--Rinehart pairs and super F-algebroids and study the connection between them.

We present two different families of eleven-dimensional manifolds that admit non-restricted extensions of the isometry algebras to geometric superalgebras. Both families admit points for which the superalgebra extends to a super Lie algebra; on the one hand, a family of $N=1$, $ν={}^3\!/\!_4$ supergravity backgrounds a…

The paper studies invariant Einstein metrics on Lie supergroups.

The paper develops a theory of $C^\infty$-superrings and their superschemes.

We establish a higher generalization of super L-infinity-algebraic T-duality of super WZW-terms for super p-branes. In particular, we demonstrate spherical T-duality of super M5-branes propagating on exceptional-geometric 11d super spacetime.

Vector bundles and double vector bundles, or $2$-fold vector bundles, arise naturally for instance as base spaces for algebraic structures such as Lie algebroids, Courant algebroids and double Lie algebroids. It is known that all these structures possess a unified description using the language of super\-geometry and g…

This is the first in a series of papers laying the foundations for a differential graded approach to derived differential geometry (and other geometries in characteristic zero). In this paper, we study theories of supercommutative algebras for which infinitely differentiable functions can be evaluated on elements. Such…
