The Wahlquist-Estabrook prolongation method allows to obtain for some PDEs a Lie algebra that is responsible for Lax pairs and Bäcklund transformations of certain type. We study the Wahlquist-Estabrook algebra of the n-dimensional generalization of the Landau-Lifshitz equation and construct an epimorphism from this algebra onto an infinite-dimensional quasigraded Lie algebra L(n) of certain mat...

A Lie-admissible algebra gives a Lie algebra by anticommutativity. In this work we describe remarkable types of Lie-admissible algebras such as Vinberg algebras, pre-Lie algebras or Lie algebras. We compute the corresponding binary quadratic operads and study their duality. Considering Lie algebras as Lie-admissible algebras, we can define for each Lie algebra a cohomology with values in an Lie...

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...

Energy-momentum tensor for the toroidal Lie algebras. Abstract. We construct vertex operator representations for the full (N + 1)-toroidal Lie algebra g. We associate with g a toroidal vertex operator algebra, which is a tensor product of an affine VOA, a sub-VOA of a hyperbolic lattice VOA, affine sl N VOA and a twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro VOA. The modules for the toroidal VOA are also modules...

It is known that a family of transfer matrix functional equations, the T-system, can be compactly written in terms of the Cartan matrix of a simple Lie algebra. We formally replace this Cartan matrix of a simple Lie algebra with that of an affine Lie algebra, and then we obtain a system of functional equations different from the T-system. It may be viewed as an X (a) n type affine Toda field eq...

We describe an interesting relation between Lie 2-algebras, the Kac– Moody central extensions of loop groups, and the group String(n). A Lie 2-algebra is a categorified version of a Lie algebra where the Jacobi identity holds up to a natural isomorphism called the ‘Jacobiator’. Similarly, a Lie 2-group is a categorified version of a Lie group. If G is a simply-connected compact simple Lie group...

This paper describes progress made in context with the construction of a general library of Lie algebra algorithms, called ELIAS (Eindhoven LIe Algebra System), within the computer algebra package GAP. A first sketch of the package can be found in Cohen and de Graaf[1]. Since then, in a collaborative effort with G. Ivanyos, the authors have continued to develop algorithms which were implemented...
