Lie algebra involutions and their fixed-point subalgebras give rise to symmetric spaces real forms of complex algebras, are well-studied in the context symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. In this paper we study a generalization. Namely, introduce concept pseudo-involution, an automorphism which is only required act involutively on stable Cartan subalgebra, pseudo-fixed-point natural substitute fo...

Langevin equation describing soft modes in the quark-gluon plasma is reformulated on the loop space. The Cauchy problem for the resulting loop equation is solved for the case when the nonvanishing components of the gauge potential correspond to the Cartan generators of the SU(N)-group and are proportional to a constant unit vector in the Cartan subalgebra. The regularized form of the loop equat...

We prove that a type II1 factor M can have at most one Cartan subalgebra A satisfying a combination of rigidity and compact approximation properties. We use this result to show that within the class HT of factors M having such Cartan subalgebras A ⊂ M , the Betti numbers of the standard equivalence relation associated with A ⊂ M ([G2]), are in fact isomorphism invariants for the factorsM , β HT...

We classify all the pairs of a commutative associative algebra with an identity element and its finite-dimensional commutative locally-finite derivation subalgebra such that the commutative associative algebra is derivation-simple with respect to the derivation subalgebra over an algebraically closed field with characteristic 0. Such pairs are the fundamental ingredients for constructing genera...

Given a complex semisimple Lie algebra g = k+ ik, we consider the converse question of Kostant’s convexity theorem for a normal x ∈ g. Let π : g → h be the orthogonal projection under the Killing form onto the Cartan subalgebra h := t+it where t is a maximal abelian subalgebra of k. If π(Ad(K)x) is convex, then there is k ∈ K such that each simple component of Ad(k)x can be rotated into the cor...

One of the four well-known series of simple Lie algebras of Cartan type is the series of Lie algebras of Special type, which are divergence-free Lie algebras associated with polynomial algebras and the operators of taking partial derivatives, connected with volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. In this paper, we determine the structure space of the divergence-free Lie algebras associated with pair...

We prove a Poincaré lemma for a set of r smooth functions on a 2n-dimensional smooth manifold satisfying a commutation relation determined by r singular vector fields associated to a Cartan subalgebra of sp(2r, R). This result has a natural interpretation in terms of the cohomology associated to the infinitesimal deformation of a completely integrable system.

If N ⊆M is an inclusion of type II1 factors of finite index on a separable Hilbert space, and if N has a Cartan subalgebra then we show that H(N ,M) = 0 for n ≥ 1. We also show that H cb(N ,M) = 0, n ≥ 1, for an arbitrary finite index inclusion N ⊆M of von Neumann algebras.

We consider the problem of decomposing a semisimple Lie algebra deened over a eld of characteristic zero as a direct sum of its simple ideals. The method is based on the decomposition of the action of a Cartan subalgebra. An implementation of the algorithm in the system ELIAS is discussed at the end of the paper.

In this paper we prove that for a type II1 factor N with a Cartan maximal abelian subalgebra (masa), the Hochschild cohomology groups Hn(N, N)=0, for all n ≥ 1. This generalizes the result of Sinclair and Smith, who proved this for all N having separable predual.
