    Automorphisms and forms of simple infinite-dimensional linearly compact Lie superalgebras

    No full text
    We describe the group of continuous automorphisms of all simple infinite-dimensional linearly compact Lie superalgebras and use it in order to classify F-forms of these superalgebras over any field F of characteristic zero

    Poisson Λ-brackets for Differential-Difference Equations

    No full text
    We introduce the notion of a multiplicative Poisson λ-bracket, which plays the same role in the theory of Hamiltonian differential-difference equations as the usual Poisson λ-bracket plays in the theory of Hamiltonian partial differential equations (PDE). We classify multiplicative Poisson λ-brackets in one difference variable up to order 5. As an example, we demonstrate how to apply the Lenard-Magri scheme to a compatible pair of multiplicative Poisson λ-brackets of order 1 and 2, to establish integrability of the Volterra chain

    Infinite dimensional primitive linearly compact Lie superalgebras

    No full text
    We classify open maximal subalgebras of all infinite-dimensional linearly compact simple Lie superalgebras. This is applied to the classification of infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras of vector fields, acting transitively and primitively in a formal neighborhood of a point of a finite-dimensional supermanifold

    Chiral versus classical operad

    No full text
    We establish an explicit isomorphism between the associated graded of the filtered chiral operad and the classical operad, which is important for computing the cohomology of vertex algebras

    On Lax operators

    Full text link
    We define a Lax operator as a monic pseudodifferential operator L(∂) of order N ≥ 1, such that the Lax equations ∂L(∂)∂tk=[(L_k^N(∂))_+,L(∂)] are consistent and non-zero for infinitely many positive integers k. Consistency of an equation means that its flow is defined by an evolutionary vector field. In the present paper we demonstrate that the traditional theory of the KP and the N-th KdV hierarchies holds for arbitrary scalar Lax operators

    An operadic approach to vertex algebra and Poisson vertex algebra cohomology

    No full text
    We translate the construction of the chiral operad by Beilinson and Drinfeld to the purely algebraic language of vertex algebras. Consequently, the general construction of a cohomology complex associated to a linear operad produces the vertex algebra cohomology complex. Likewise, the associated graded of the chiral operad leads to the classical operad, which produces a Poisson vertex algebra cohomology complex. The latter is closely related to the variational Poisson cohomology studied by two of the authors

    Classification of linearly compact simple rigid superalgebras

    No full text
    The notion of an anti-commutative (resp. commutative) rigid superalgebra is a natural generalization of the notion of a Lie (resp. Jordan) superalgebra. Intuitively, rigidity means that small deformations of the product under the action of the structural group produce an isomorphic algebra. In this paper, we classify all linearly compact simple anti-commutative (resp. commutative) rigid superalgebras. Beyond Lie (resp. Jordan) superalgebras, the complete list includes four series and 22 exceptional superalgebras (resp. 10 exceptional superalgebras)

    Computation of cohomology of vertex algebras

    Full text link
    We review cohomology theories corresponding to the chiral and classical operads. The first one is the cohomology theory of vertex algebras, while the second one is the classical cohomology of Poisson vertex algebras (PVA), and we construct a spectral sequence relating them. Since in “good” cases the classical PVA cohomology coincides with the variational PVA cohomology and there are well-developed methods to compute the latter, this enables us to compute the cohomology of vertex algebras in many interesting cases. Finally, we describe a unified approach to integrability through vanishing of the first cohomology, which is applicable to both classical and quantum systems of Hamiltonian PDEs
