Let $H$ be the quaternion algebra. Let $g$ be a complex Lie algebra and let $U(g)$ be the enveloping algebra of $g$. We define a Lie algebra structure on the tensor product space of $H$ and $U(g)$, and obtain the quaternification $g^H$ of $g$. Let $S^3g^H$ be the set of $g^H$-valued smooth mappings over $S^3$. The Lie algebra structure on $S^3g^H$ is induced naturally from that of $g^H$. On $S^3$ exists the space of Laurent polynomial spinors spanned by a complete orthogonal system of eigen spinors of the tangential Dirac operator on $S^3$. Tensoring $U(g)$ we have the space of $U(g)$-valued Laurent polynomial spinors, which is a Lie subalgebra of $S^3g^H$. We introduce a 2-cocycle on the space of $U(g)$-valued Laurent polynomial spinors by the aid of a tangential vector field on $S^3$. Then we have the corresponding central extension $hat g(a)$ of the Lie algebra of $U(g)$-valued Laurent polynomial spinors. Finally we have the a Lie algebra $hat g=hat g(a)+Cd$ which is obtained by adding to $hat g(a)$ a derivation $d$ which acts on $hat g(a)$ as the radial derivation. When $g$ is a simple Lie algebra with its Cartan subalgebra $h$, We shall investigate the weight space decomposition of $(hat g, ad(hat h))$, where $hat h=h+Ca+Cd$ . The previo

Let L be the space of spinors on the 3-sphere that are the restrictions of the Laurent polynomial type harmonic spinors on C^2. L becomes an associative algebra. For a simple Lie algebra g, the real Lie algebra Lg generated by the tensor product of L and g is called the g-current algebra. The real part K of L becomes a commutative subalgebra of L. For a Cartan subalgebra h of g, h tensored by K becomes a Cartan subalgebra Kh of Lg. The set of non-zero weights of the adjoint representation of Kh corresponds bijectively to the root space of g. Let g=h+e+ f be the standard triangular decomposition of g, and let Lh, Le and Lf respectively be the Lie subalgebras of Lg generated by the tensor products of L with h, e and f respectively . Then we have the triangular decomposition: Lg=Lh+Le+Lf, that is also associated with the weight space decomposition of Lg. With the aid of the basic vector fields on the 3-shpere that arise from the infinitesimal representation of SO(3) we introduce a triple of 2-cocycles {c_k; k=0,1,2} on Lg. Then we have the central extension: Lg+ sum Ca_k associated to the 2-cocycles {c_k; k=0,1,2}. Adjoining a derivation coming from the radial vector field on S^3 we obtain the second central extension g^=Lg+ sum Ca_k + Cn. The root space decomposition of g^ as welll as the Chevalley generators of g^ will be given.
Let Omega^3(SU(n)) be the Lie group of based mappings from S^3 to SU(n). We construct a Lie group extension of Omega^3(SU(n)) for n>2 by the abelian group of the affine dual space of SU(n)-connections on S^3. In this article we give several improvement of J. Mickelssons results in 1987, especially we give a precise description of the extension of those components that are not the identity component,. We also correct several argument about the extension of Omega^3(SU(2)) which seems not to be exact in Mickelssons work, though his observation about the fact that the extension of Omega^3(SU(2)) reduces to the extension by Z_2 is correct. Then we shall investigate the adjoint representation of the Lie group extension of Omega^3(SU(n)) for n>2.
We introduce the notion of Haantjes algebra: It consists of an assignment of a family of operator fields on a differentiable manifold, each of them with vanishing Haantjes torsion. They are also required to satisfy suitable compatibility conditions. Haantjes algebras naturally generalize several known interesting geometric structures, arising in Riemannian geometry and in the theory of integrable systems. At the same time, as we will show, they play a crucial role in the theory of diagonalization of operators on differentiable manifolds. Assuming that the operators of a Haantjes algebra are semisimple and commute, we shall prove that there exists a set of local coordinates where all operators can be diagonalized simultaneously. Moreover, in the general, non-semisimple case, they acquire simultaneously, in a suitable local chart, a block-diagonal form.
We introduce the notions of relational groupoids and relational convolution algebras. We provide various examples arising from the group algebra of a group $G$ and a given normal subgroup $H$. We also give conditions for the existence of a Haar system of measures on a relational groupoid compatible with the convolution, and we prove a reduction theorem that recovers the usual convolution of a Lie groupoid.
This is an old paper put here for archeological purposes. We compute the second cohomology of current Lie algebras of the form $Lotimes A$, where $L$ belongs to some class of Lie algebras which includes classical simple and Zassenhaus algebras, and of some modular semisimple Lie algebras. The results are largely superseded by subsequent papers, though, perhaps, some tricks and observations used here remain of minor interest.
