Twisted Lie algebras by invertible derivations

In this paper, we introduce an algebra structure denoted by InvDer algebra in which we twist an algebra with an invertible derivation whose inverse is also a derivation. We define InvDer Lie algebras, InvDer associative algebras, InvDer Zinbiel algebras and InvDer dendriforme algebras. We also study the relations between these structures by using Rota–Baxter operators and endomorphism operators.

Toda equations for surface defects in SYM and instanton counting for classical Lie groups

The partition function of super Yang-Mills theories with arbitrary simple gauge group coupled to a self-dual Ω background is shown to be fully determined by studying the renormalization group equations relevant to the surface operators generating its one-form symmetries. The corresponding system of equations results in a non-autonomous Toda chain on the root system of the Langlands dual, the evolution parameter being the RG scale. A systematic algorithm computing the full multi-instanton corrections is derived in terms of recursion relations whose gauge theoretical solution is obtained just by fixing the perturbative part of the IR prepotential as its asymptotic boundary condition for the RGE. We analyze the explicit solutions of the τ-system for all the classical groups at the diverse levels, extend our analysis to affine twisted Lie algebras and provide conjectural bilinear relations for the τ-functions of linear quiver gauge theory.

𝑆𝑝-equivariant modules over polynomial rings in infinitely many variables

We study the category of S p \mathbf {Sp} -equivariant modules over the infinite variable polynomial ring, where S p \mathbf {Sp} denotes the infinite symplectic group. We establish a number of results about this category: for instance, we show that every finitely generated module M M fits into an exact triangle T → M → F → T \to M \to F \to where T T is a finite length complex of torsion modules and F F is a finite length complex of “free” modules; we determine the Grothendieck group; and we (partially) determine the structure of injective modules. We apply these results to show that the twisted commutative algebras Sym ⁡ ( C ∞ ⊕ ⋀ 2 C ∞ ) \operatorname {Sym}(\mathbf {C}^{\infty } \oplus \bigwedge ^2{\mathbf {C}^{\infty }}) and Sym ⁡ ( C ∞ ⊕ Sym 2 ⁡ C ∞ ) \operatorname {Sym}(\mathbf {C}^{\infty } \oplus \operatorname {Sym}^2{\mathbf {C}^{\infty }}) are noetherian, which are the strongest results to date of this kind. We also show that the free 2-step nilpotent twisted Lie algebra and Lie superalgebra are noetherian.

Infinite rank spinor and oscillator representations

We develop a functorial theory of spinor and oscillator representations parallel to the theory of Schur functors for general linear groups. This continues our work on developing orthogonal and symplectic analogues of Schur functors. As such, there are a few main points in common. We define a category of representations of what might be thought of as the infinite rank pin and metaplectic groups, and give three models of this category in terms of: multilinear algebra, diagram categories, and twisted Lie algebras. We also define specialization functors to the finite rank groups and calculate the derived functors.

Hall basis of twisted Lie algebras

In this paper we define a minimal generating system for the free twisted Lie algebra. This gives a correct formulation and a proof to an old statement of Barratt. To this aim we use properties of the Lyndon words and of the Klyachko idempotent which generalize to twisted Hopf algebras some similar results well known in the classical case.

On Picard–Vessiot extensions with group PGL 3

Let F be a differential field of characteristic zero with algebraically closed field of constants. We provide an explicit description of the twisted Lie algebras of PGL 3 -equivariant derivations on the coordinate rings of F-irreducible PGL 3 -torsors in terms of nine-dimensional central simple algebras over F. We use this to construct a Picard–Vessiot extension which is the function field of a non-trivial torsor and which is a generic extension for PGL 3 .

The equivalence of certain categories of twisted Lie and Hopf algebras over a commutative ring

The category of connected, twisted Lie algebras over a commutative ring R , which includes ordinary connected graded Lie algebras over R , is shown to be equivalent via an enveloping construction to a category of ‘connected R ∑ ∗-Hopf algebras with commutative comultiplication’. Along the way, a PBW-like decomposition is obtained for the enveloping object of any connected, twisted Lie algebra, and free twisted Lie algebras are shown to admit an R -module basis of simple (left-normed) brackets of generators.
