O objetivo deste texto é apresentar uma classe de módulos para álgebra de Lie de campos vetoriais em um toro N -dimensional, Vect( T N ). O caso N = 1 nos dá a famosa álgebra de Witt (sua extensão central é álgebra de Virasoro). A álgebra Vect( T N ) apresenta um classe de módulos parametrizada por módulos de dimensão finita da álgebra gl N . Nosso objeto central de estudo são módulos induzidos dos módulos tensoriais de Vect( T N ) para Vect( T N +1 ). Estes módulos apresentam um quociente irredutível com espaços de peso de dimensão finita. A álgebra Vect( T N ) apresenta como subálgebra sl N +1 . Com a restrição da ação de Vect( T N ) a esta subálgebra obtemos o carácter deste quociente. Para obter um critério de irredutibilidade e construir sua realização de campo livre, consideramos uma classe de módulos para 1 (T N +1 )/ d 0 (T N +1 ) o Vect (T N ) , construída a partir de álgebras de vértice. Quando restritos a Vect (T N ) estes módulos continuam irredutíveis a menos que apareçam no chiral de De Rham. / The goal of this text is to present a class of modules for the Lie algebra of vector fields in a N -dimensional torus, Vect (T N ) . The case N = 1 give us the famous Witt algebra (its central extension is the Virasoro algebra). The algebra Vect( T N ) has a class of modules parametrized by finite dimensional gl N -modules. The central object of our study are modules induced from tensor modules for Vect( T N ) to Vect( T N +1 ). Those modules have an irreducible quotient such that every weight space has finite dimension. The algebra Vect( T N ) has as subalgebra sl N +1 . Restricting the action of Vect( T N ) to this subálgebra we have the character of this quotient. To obtain a irreducible critreria and construct a free field reazilation, we consider a class of modules for 1 (T N +1 )/ d 0 (T N +1 ) o Vect (T N ) , constructed from vertex algebras. When restricted to Vect (T N ) thesse modules remain irreducible, unless they belongs to the chiral De Rham complex.

Quivers (directed graphs) and species (a generalization of quivers) as well as their representations play a key role in many areas of mathematics including combinatorics, geometry, and algebra. Their importance is especially apparent in their applications to the representation theory of associative algebras, Lie algebras, and quantum groups. In this thesis, we discuss the most important results in the representation theory of species, such as Dlab and Ringel’s extension of Gabriel’s theorem, which classifies all species of finite and tame representation type. We also explain the link between species and K-species (where K is a field). Namely, we show that the category of K-species can be viewed as a subcategory of the category of species. Furthermore, we prove two results about the structure of the tensor ring of a species containing no oriented cycles that do not appear in the literature. Specifically, we prove that two such species have isomorphic tensor rings if and only if they are isomorphic as “crushed” species, and we show that if K is a perfect field, then the tensor algebra of a K-species tensored with the algebraic closure of K is isomorphic to, or Morita equivalent to, the path algebra of a quiver.

In this thesis we classify singular vectors in scalar parabolic Verma modules for those pairs (sl(n, C), p) of complex Lie algebras where the homogeneous space SL(n, C)/P is the Grassmannian of k-planes in Cn . We calculate cohomology of nilpotent radicals with values in certain unitarizable highest weight modules. According to [BH09] these modules have BGG resolutions with weights determined by this cohomology. Such resolutions induce complexes of invariant differential operators on sections of associated bundles over Hermitian symmetric spaces. We describe formal completions of unitarizable highest weight modules that one can use to modify method from [CD01] that constructs sequences of differential operators over any 1-graded (aka almost Hermitian) geometry. We suggest uniform description of octonionic planes that could serve as a basis for better understanding of the exceptional Hermitian symmetric space for group E6.

We will show that the only connected Euclidean spheres admitting a structure of Lie group are S1 and S3, for all n greater than or equal to 1. We will do this through the study of properties of the De Rham cohomology groups of sphere Sn and of compact connected Lie groups. / Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas / Mostraremos que as únicas esferas euclidianas conexas que admitem uma estrutura de grupo de Lie são S1 e S3, para todo n maior ou igual a 1. Faremos isso por intermédio do estudo de propriedades dos grupos de cohomologia de De Rham das esfereas Sn e dos grupos de Lie compactos e conexos.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Nesta dissertação, descrevemos resultados obtidos por Hilário Alencar e A. Gervasio Colares, publicado no Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry em 1998. Inicialmente, obtemos fórmulas integrais para a curvatura r-média, as quais generalizam fórmulas de Minkowski. Além disso, usando estas fórmulas, caracterizamos as hipersuperfícies compactas imersas no espaço Euclidiano, esférico ou hiperbólico cujo conjunto de pontos nestes espaços que não pertencem as hipersuperfícies totalmente geodésicas tangentes às hipersuperfícies compactas é aberto e não vazio. Outrossim, obtemos ainda resultados relacionados com a estabilidade. As demonstrações destes resultados são obtidas através da fórmula integral de Dirichlet para o operador linearizado da curvatura r-média de uma hipersuperfície imersa no espaço Euclidiano, esférico ou hiperbólico, bem como do uso de um resultado recente provado por Hilário Alencar, Walcy Santos e Detang Zhou no preprint Curvature Integral Estimates for Complete Hypersurfaces. Ressaltamos que esta dissertação foi baseada na versão corrigida por Hilário Alencar do artigo publicado no Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry.

In this thesis we address the analytic and numerical aspects of isospectral flows. Such flows occur in mathematical physics and numerical linear algebra. Their main structural feature is to retain the eigenvalues in the solution space. We explore the solution of Isospectral flows and their stochastic counterpart using explicit generalisation of Magnus expansion. \par In the first part of the thesis we expand the solution of Bloch--Iserles equations, the matrix ordinary differential system of the form $ X'=[N,X^{2}],\ \ t\geq0, \ \ X(0)=X_0\in \textrm{Sym}(n),\ N\in \mathfrak{so}(n), $ where $\textrm{Sym}(n)$ denotes the space of real $n\times n$ symmetric matrices and $\mathfrak{so}(n)$ denotes the Lie algebra of real $n\times n$ skew-symmetric matrices. This system is endowed with Poisson structure and is integrable. Various important properties of the flow are discussed. The flow is solved using explicit Magnus expansion and the terms of expansion are represented as binary rooted trees deducing an explicit formalism to construct the trees recursively. Unlike classical numerical methods, e.g.\ Runge--Kutta and multistep methods, Magnus expansion respects the isospectrality of the system, and the shorthand of binary rooted trees reduces the computational cost of the exponentially growing terms. The desired structure of the solution (also with large time steps) has been displayed. \par Having seen the promising results in the first part of the thesis, the technique has been extended to the generalised double bracket flow $ X^{'}=[[N,X]+M,X], \ \ t\geq0, \ \ X(0)=X_0\in \textrm{Sym}(n),$ where $N\in \textrm{diag}(n)$ and $M\in \mathfrak{so}(n)$, which is also a form of an Isospectral flow. In the second part of the thesis we define the generalised double bracket flow and discuss its dynamics. It is noted that $N=0$ reduces it to an integrable flow, while for $M=0$ it results in a gradient flow. We analyse the flow for various non-zero values of $N$ and $M$ by assigning different weights and observe Hopf bifurcation in the system. The discretisation is done using Magnus series and the expansion terms have been portrayed using binary rooted trees. Although this matrix system appears more complex and leads to the tri-colour leaves; it has been possible to formulate the explicit recursive rule. The desired structure of the solution is obtained that leaves the eigenvalues invariant in the solution space.

Le réseau de Toeplitz est un système hamiltonien dont la structure de Poisson est connue. Dans cette thèse, nous donnons l'origine de cette structure de Poisson et nous en déduisons des équations de Lax associées au réseau de Toeplitz. Nous construisons tout d'abord une sous-variété de Poisson Hn de GLn(C), ce dernier étant vu comme un groupe de Lie-Poisson réel ou complexe dont la structure de Poisson provient d'un R-crochet quadratique sur gln(C) pour une R-matrice fixée. L'existence d'hamiltoniens associés au réseau de Toeplitz pour la structure de Poisson sur Hn ainsi que les propriétés du R-crochet quadratique permettent alors d'expliciter des équations de Lax du système. On en déduit alors l'intégrabilité au sens de Liouville du réseau de Toeplitz. Dans le point de vue réel, nous pouvons ensuite construire une sous-variété de Poisson Han du groupe Un qui est lui-même une sous-variété de Poisson-Dirac de GLR n(C). Nous construisons alors un hamiltonien, pour la structure de Poisson induite sur Han, correspondant à un autre système déduit du réseau de Toeplitz : le réseau de Schur modifié. Grâce aux propriétés des sous-variétés de Poisson-Dirac, nous explicitons une équation de Lax pour ce nouveau système et nous en déduisons une équation de Lax pour le réseau de Schur. On en déduit également l'intégrabilité au sens de Liouville du réseau de Schur modifié. / The Toeplitz lattice is a Hamiltonian system whose Poisson structure is known. In this thesis, we reveil the origins of this Poisson structure and we derive from it the associated Lax equations for this lattice. We first construct a Poisson subvariety Hn of GLn(C), which we view as a real or complex Poisson-Lie group whose Poisson structure comes from a quadratic R-bracket on gln(C) for a fixed R-matrix. The existence of Hamiltonians, associated to the Toeplitz lattice for the Poisson structure on Hn, combined with the properties of the quadratic R-bracket allow us to give explicit formulas for the Lax equation. Then, we derive from it the integrability in the sense of Liouville of the Toeplitz lattice. When we view the lattice as being defined over R, we can construct a Poisson subvariety Han of Un which is itself a Poisson-Dirac subvariety of GLR n(C). We then construct a Hamiltonian for the Poisson structure induced on Han, corresponding to another system which derives from the Toeplitz lattice : the modified Schur lattice. Thanks to the properties of Poisson-Dirac subvarieties, we give an explicit Lax equation for the new system and derive from it a Lax equation for the Schur lattice. We also deduce the integrability in the sense of Liouville of the modified Schur lattice.

Goldman [Gol86] introduced a Lie algebra structure on the free vector space generated by the free homotopy classes of oriented closed curves in any orientable surface F . This Lie bracket is known as the Goldman bracket and the Lie algebra is known as the Goldman Lie algebra. In this dissertation, we compute the center of the Goldman Lie algebra for any hyperbolic surface of finite type. We use hyperbolic geometry and geometric group theory to prove our theorems. We show that for any hyperbolic surface of finite type, the center of the Goldman Lie algebra is generated by closed curves which are either homotopically trivial or homotopic to boundary components or punctures. We use these results to identify the quotient of the Goldman Lie algebra of a non-closed surface by its center as a sub-algebra of the first Hochschild cohomology of the fundamental group. Using hyperbolic geometry, we prove a special case of a theorem of Chas [Cha10], namely, the geometric intersection number between two simple closed geodesics is the same as the number of terms (counted with multiplicity) in the Goldman bracket between them. We also construct infinitely many pairs of length equivalent curves in any hyperbolic surface F of finite type. Our construction shows that given a self- intersecting geodesic x of F and any self-intersection point P of x, we get a sequence of such pairs.
