The derivation of the exact and unique nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST)and anti-BRST symmetries for the matter fields, present in any arbitrary interacting gauge theory, has been a long-standing problem in the framework of superfield approach to BRST formalism. These nilpotent symmetry transformations are deduced for the four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) complex scalar fields, coupled to ...

This is the first of a series of papers devoted to certain pairs of commuting nilpotent elements in a semisimple Lie algebra that enjoy quite remarkable properties and which are expected to play a major role in Representation theory. The properties of these pairs and their role is similar to those of the principal nilpotents. To any principal nilpotent pair we associate a two-parameter analogue...

We show that the dimension of the minimal nilpotent coadjoint orbit for a complex simple Lie algebra is equal to twice the dual Coxeter number minus two. Let g be a finite dimensional complex simple Lie algebra. We fix a Cartan subalgebra h, a root system ∆ ⊂ h and a set of positive roots ∆+ ⊂ ∆. Let ρ be half the sum of all positive roots. Denote by θ the highest root and normalize the Killing...

We show that the existence of a left-invariant pluriclosed Hermitian metric on unimodular Lie group with abelian complex structure forces to be 2-step nilpotent. Moreover, we prove flow starting from nilpotent preserves Strominger Kähler–like condition.

We study HKT structures on nilpotent Lie groups and on associated nilmanifolds. We exhibit three weak HKT structures on R which are homogeneous with respect to extensions of Heisenberg type Lie groups. The corresponding hypercomplex structures are of a special kind, called abelian. We prove that on any 2-step nilpotent Lie group all invariant HKT structures arise from abelian hypercomplex struc...

Our work is concerned with the problem on limit cycle bifurcation for a class of Z3-equivariant Lyapunov system of five degrees with three third-order nilpotent critical points which lie in a Z3-equivariant vector field. With the help of computer algebra system-MATHEMATICA, the first 5 quasiLyapunov constants are deduced. The fact of existing 12 small amplitude limit cycles created from the thr...

which is defined only when I is nilpotent and Q ⊂ A. Goodwillie showed that (1.2) is an isomorphism whenever it is defined, and that it coincides with (1.1) when I = 0. Using this and a 5-Lemma argument, he deduced that (1.1) is an isomorphism for any nilpotent I. The question of whether ch∗ and ch ′ ∗ agree for general nilpotent ideals I was left open in [4], and announced without proof in [7,...
