We obtain a characterization of the Lie algebras admitting abelian complex structures in terms of certain affine Lie algebras aff(A), where A is a commutative algebra.

Given a finite quiver Q without loops, we introduce a new class of quantum algebras D(Q) which are deformations of the enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra which is a central extension of sln(Π(Q)) where Π(Q) is the preprojective algebra of Q. When Q is an affine Dynkin quiver of type A, D or E, we can relate them to Γ-deformed double current algebras. We are able to construct functors between d...

We study symplectic structures on characteristically nilpotent Lie algebras (CNLAs) by computing the cohomology space H(g, k) for certain Lie algebras g. Among these Lie algebras are filiform CNLAs of dimension n ≤ 14. It turns out that there are many examples of CNLAs which admit a symplectic structure. A generalization of a sympletic structure is an affine structure on a Lie algebra.

Toroidal Lie algebras are very natural multi-variable generalizations of affine Kac-Moody algebras. The theory of affine Lie algebras is rich and beautiful, having connections with diverse areas of mathematics and physics. Toroidal Lie algebras are also proving themselves to be useful for the applications. Frenkel, Jing and Wang [FJW] used representations of toroidal Lie algebras to construct a...

The goal of this paper is to define a new class of objects which we call triple groups and to relate them with Cherednik’s double affine Hecke algebras. This has as immediate consequences new descriptions of double affine Weyl and Artin groups, the double affine Hecke algebras as well as the corresponding elliptic objects. From the new descriptions we recover results of Cherednik on automorphis...

In a vertex algebraic framework, we present an explicit description of the twisted Wakimoto realizations of the affine Lie algebras in correspondence with an arbitrary finite order automorphism and a compatible integral gradation of a complex simple Lie algebra. This yields generalized free field realizations of the twisted and untwisted affine Lie algebras in any gradation. The free field form...

The goal of this paper is to define a new class of objects which we call triple groups and to relate them with Cherednik's double affine Heeke algebras. This has as immediate consequences new descriptions of double affine Weyl and Artin groups, the double affine Heeke algebras as well as the corresponding elliptic objects. From the new descriptions we recover results of Cherednik on automorphis...

A Borel-Tits theory was developped for almost split forms of symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebras [J. of Algebra 171, 43-96 (1995)]. In this paper, we look to almost split real forms for symmetrizable hyperbolic KacMoody Lie algebras and we establish a complete list of these forms, in terms of their Satake-Tits index, for the strictly hyperbolic ones and for those which are obtained as (hyperbo...
