Fermionic Novikov Algebras Admitting Invariant Non-degenerate Symmetric Bilinear Forms Are Novikov Algebras
Gelfand and Dikii gave a bosonic formal variational calculus in [5, 6] and Xu gave a fermionic formal variational calculus in [13]. Combining the bosonic theory of Gelfand-Dikii and the fermionic theory, Xu gave in [14] a formal variational calculus of super-variables. Fermionic Novikov algebras are related to the Hamiltonian super-operator in terms of this theory. A fermionic Novikov algebra i...
متن کاملBilinear Forms on Frobenius Algebras
We analyze the homothety types of associative bilinear forms that can occur on a Hopf algebra or on a local Frobenius k-algebra R with residue field k. If R is symmetric, then there exists a unique form on R up to homothety iff R is commutative. If R is Frobenius, then we introduce a norm based on the Nakayama automorphism of R. We show that if two forms on R are homothetic, then the norm of th...
متن کاملIntegral forms in vertex operator algebras which are invariant under finite groups
For certain vertex operator algebras (e.g., lattice type) and given finite group of automorphisms, we prove existence of a positive definite integral form invariant under the group. Applications include an integral form in the Moonshine VOA which is invariant under the Monster, and examples in other lattice type VOAs.
متن کاملGraded Contractions of Bilinear Invariant Forms of Lie Algebras
ABSTRACT. We introduce a new construction of bilinear invariant forms on Lie algebras, based on the method of graded contractions. The general method is described and the Z2-, Z3-, and Z2 ⊗ Z2-contractions are found. The results can be applied to all Lie algebras and superalgebras (finite or infinite dimensional) which admit the chosen gradings. We consider some examples: contractions of the Ki...
متن کاملSemi-infinite forms and topological vertex operator algebras
Semi-infinite forms on the moduli spaces of genus-zero Riemann surfaces with punctures and local coordinates are introduced. A partial operad for semi-infinite forms is constructed. Using semi-infinite forms and motivated by a partial suboperad of the partial operad for semi-infinite forms, topological vertex partial operads of type k < 0 and strong topological vertex partial operads of type k ...
