Simplicial and crossed Lie algebras

Lie $^*$-double derivations on Lie $C^*$-algebras

A unital $C^*$ -- algebra $mathcal A,$ endowed withthe Lie product $[x,y]=xy- yx$ on $mathcal A,$ is called a Lie$C^*$ -- algebra. Let $mathcal A$ be a Lie $C^*$ -- algebra and$g,h:mathcal A to mathcal A$ be $Bbb C$ -- linear mappings. A$Bbb C$ -- linear mapping $f:mathcal A to mathcal A$ is calleda Lie $(g,h)$ -- double derivation if$f([a,b])=[f(a),b]+[a,f(b)]+[g(a),h(b)]+[h(a),g(b)]$ for all ...

Crossed Simplicial Groups and Their Associated Homology

We introduce a notion of crossed simplicial group, which generalizes Connes' notion of the cyclic category. We show that this concept has several equivalent descriptions and give a complete classification of these structures. We also show how many of Connes' results can be generalized and simplified in this framework. A simplicial set (resp. group) is a family of sets (resp. groups) {Gn}n>0 tog...

Lie Groups and Lie Algebras

Lie Groups and Lie Algebras

A Lie group is, roughly speaking, an analytic manifold with a group structure such that the group operations are analytic. Lie groups arise in a natural way as transformation groups of geometric objects. For example, the group of all affine transformations of a connected manifold with an affine connection and the group of all isometries of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold are known to be Lie groups...

Leibniz Algebras and Lie Algebras

This paper concerns the algebraic structure of finite-dimensional complex Leibniz algebras. In particular, we introduce left central and symmetric Leibniz algebras, and study the poset of Lie subalgebras using an associative bilinear pairing taking values in the Leibniz kernel.
