We give the full description of all degenerations of complex five dimensional noncommutative Heisenberg algebras. As a corollary, we have the full description of all degenerations of four dimensional anticommutative $3$-ary algebras.
For some exact monoidal categories, we describe explicitly a connection between topological and algebraic definitions of the Lie bracket on the extension algebra of the unit object. The topological definition, due to Schwede and Hermann, involves loops in extension categories. The algebraic definition, due to the first author, involves homotopy liftings of maps. As a consequence of our description, we prove that the topological definition indeed yields a Gerstenhaber algebra structure in this monoidal category setting. This answers a question of Hermann for those exact monoidal categories in which the unit object has a particular type of resolution that is called power flat. For use in proofs, we generalize $A_{\infty}$-coderivation and homotopy lifting techniques from bimodule categories to these exact monoidal categories.
We describe all rigid algebras and all irreducible components in the variety of four dimensional Leibniz algebras $\mathfrak{Leib}_4$ over $\mathbb{C}.$ In particular, we prove that the Grunewald--O'Halloran conjecture is not valid and the Vergne conjecture is valid for $\mathfrak{Leib}_4.$
We prove that the action of a generalized braid group on an enhanced triangulated categories, generated by spherical twist functors along an ADE-configuration of $ω$-spherical objects, is faithful for any integer $ω\neq 1$.
We describe degenerations of four-dimensional Zinbiel and four-dimensional nilpotent Leibniz algebras over C. In particular, we describe all irreducible components in the corresponding varieties.
We describe all groups that can be generated by two twists along spherical sequences in an enhanced triangulated category. It will be shown that with one exception such a group is isomorphic to an abelian group generated by not more than two elements, the free group on two generators or the braid group of one of the types $A_2$, $B_2$ and $G_2$ factorized by a central subgroup. The last mentioned subgroup can be nontrivial only if some specific linear relation between length and sphericity holds. The mentioned exception can occur when one has two spherical sequences of length $3$ and sphericity $2$. In this case the group generated by the corresponding two spherical twists can be isomorphic to the nontrivial central extension of the symmetric group on three elements by the infinite cyclic group. Also we will apply this result to give a presentation of the derived Picard group of selfinjective algebras of the type $D_4$ with torsion $3$ by generators and relations.
We consider the variety of Filippov ($n$-Lie) algebra structures on an $(n+1)$-dimensional vector space. The group $GL_n(K)$ acts on it, and we study the orbit closures with respect to the Zariski topology. This leads to the definition of Filippov algebra degenerations. We present some fundamental results on such degenerations, including trace invariants and necessary degeneration criteria. Finally, we classify all orbit closures in the variety of complex $(n+1)$-dimensional Filippov $n$-ary algebras.
$n$-ary algebras of the first degeneration level are described. A detailed classification is given in the cases $n=2,3$.
We describe the derived Picard groups and two-term silting complexes for quasi-hereditary algebras with two simple modules. We also describe by quivers with relations all algebras derived equivalent to a quasi-hereditary algebra with two simple modules.
Anticommutative Engel algebras of the first five degeneration levels are classified. All algebras appearing in this classification are nilpotent Malcev algebras.
We give a complete description of degenerations of $3$-dimensional nilpotent algebras, $4$-dimensional nilpotent commutative algebras and $5$-dimensional nilpotent anticommutative algebras over $ \mathbb C$. In particular, we correct several mistakes from the paper `Contractions of low-dimensional nilpotent Jordan algebras' by Ancochea Bermúdez, Fresán and Margalef Bentabol.
The main result of the paper is the classification of all (nonassociative) algebras of level two, i.e. such algebras that maximal chains of nontrivial degenerations starting at them have length two. During this classification we obtain an estimation of the level of an algebra via its generation type, i.e. the maximal dimension of its one generated subalgebra. Also we describe all degenerations and levels of algebras of the generation type $1$ with a square zero ideal of codimension $1$.
The work is devoted to the variety of $2$-dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field. Firstly, we classify such algebras modulo isomorphism. Then we describe the degenerations and the closures of principal algebra series in the variety under consideration. Finally, we apply our results to obtain analogous descriptions for the subvarieties of flexible, and bicommutative algebras. In particular, we describe rigid algebras and irreducible components for these subvarieties.
In our preceding paper we have introduced the notion of an $s$-homogeneous triple. In this paper we use this technique to study connected $s$-homogeneous algebras with two relations. For such algebras, we describe all possible pairs $(A,M)$, where $A$ is the $s$-Veronese ring and $M$ is the $(s,1)$-Veronese bimodule of the $s$-homogeneous dual algebra. For each such a pair we give an intrinsic characterization of algebras corresponding to it. Due to results of our previous work many pairs determine the algebra uniquely up to isomorphism. Using our partial classification, we show that, to check the $s$-Koszulity of a connected $s$-homogeneous algebras with two relations, it is enough to verify an equality for Hilbert series or to check the exactness of the generalized Koszul complex in the second term. For each pair $(A,M)$ not belonging to one specific series of pairs, we check if there exists an $s$-Koszulity algebra corresponding to it. Thus, we describe a class of possible ${\rm Ext}$-algebras of $s$-Koszul connected algebras with two relations and realize all of them except a finite number of specific algebras as ${\rm Ext}$-algebras. Another result that follows from our classification is that an $s$-homogeneous algebra with two dimensional $s$-th component cannot be $s$-Koszul for $s>2$.
We prove formulas of different types that allow to calculate the Gerstenhaber bracket on the Hochschild cohomology of an algebra using some arbitrary projective bimodule resolution for it. Using one of these formulas, we give a new short proof of the derived invariance of the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on Hochschild cohomology. Also we give some new formulas for the Connes' differential on the Hochschild homology that lead to formulas for BV differential on the Hochschild cohomology in the case of symmetric algebras. Finally, we use one of the obtained formulas to get a full description of the BV structure and, correspondingly, the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology of a class of symmetric algebras.
We describe all degenerations of three dimensional anticommutative algebras $\mathfrak{Acom}_3$ and of three dimensional Leibniz algebras $\mathfrak{Leib}_3$ over $\mathbb{C}.$ In particular, we describe all irreducible components and rigid algebras in the corresponding varieties
To study $s$-homogeneous algebras, we introduce the category of quivers with $s$-homogeneous corelations and the category of $s$-homogeneous triples. We show that both of these categories are equivalent to the category of $s$-homogeneous algebras. We prove some properties of the elements of $s$-homogeneous triples and give some consequences for $s$-Koszul algebras. Then we discuss the relations between the $s$-Koszulity and the Hilbert series of $s$-homogeneous triples. We give some application of the obtained results to $s$-homogeneous algebras with simple zero component. We describe all $s$-Koszul algebras with one relation recovering the result of Berger and all $s$-Koszul algebras with one dimensional $s$-th component. We show that if the $s$-th Veronese ring of an $s$-homogeneous algebra has two generators, then it has at least two relations. Finally, we classify all $s$-homogeneous algebras with $s$-th Veronese rings ${\bf k}\langle x,y\rangle/(xy,yx)$ and ${\bf k}\langle x,y\rangle/(x^2,y^2)$. In particular, we show that all of these algebras are not $s$-Koszul while their $s$-homogeneous duals are $s$-Koszul.
We provide a framework connecting several well known theories related to the linearity of graded modules over graded algebras. In the first part, we pay a particular attention to the tensor products of graded bimodules over graded algebras. Finally, we provide a tool to evaluate the possible degrees of a module appearing in a graded projective resolution once the generating degrees for the first term of some particular projective resolution are known.
