Cohomology of $\mathfrak{psl}(n|n)$ in trivial and in adjoint representations

We compute the cohomology of the projective special linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{psl}(n|n)$ over a field of characteristic zero in trivial and in adjoint coefficients in full detail through its associated Hochschild--Serre spectral sequences. Applications in physics exist for its real form, the projective special unitary Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{psu}(n|n)$ --- in particular, $\mathfrak{psu}(2,2|4)$ for AdS/CFT. We also find the cohomology of $\mathfrak{sl}(m|n)$ in trivial coefficients along the way and we point out a discrepancy with a previous statement in the literature. We present the explicit cohomology groups of low degree for $n\leqslant4$.

Neutrino oscillation in a minimal length spacetime

We investigate how neutrino oscillations are modified in a non-commutative spacetime characterized by a minimal length scale, described by the Quesne-Tkachuk algebra. By incorporating the algebra's deformation parameter $β$ into the effective neutrino mass, we derive the 2-flavor oscillation probability in this non-commutative setting. The resulting probability depends not only on the usual mass-squared difference but also on a fourth-order mass difference scaled by $β$. A comparison between the standard and non-commutative oscillation probabilities reveals a beat pattern arising from the additional non-commutative phase, which induces a small shift in the oscillation profiles. Finally, we extend our analysis to include the effects of a magnetic field on neutrino propagation.

Supersymmetry bicomplex of pure spinor AdS background

Infinitesimal deformations of $\text{AdS}_5 \times \mathbb{S}^5$ form a representation of the AdS supersymmetry algebra. The structure of this representation has not yet been completely described in the literature. Some information can be obtained just from the fact that the space of deformations is the cohomology of a nilpotent BRST operator. We can consider the bicomplex formed by the BRST operator and the Lie cohomology differential, and its two spectral sequences. Their matching imposes some constraints on the structure of representations, which we start exploring in this paper. In particular, we clarify the structure of ghost number three zero modes.
