Inhomogeneous Yang-Mills algebras

We study in this article the representation theory of a family of super algebras, called the \emph{super Yang-Mills algebras}, by exploiting the Kirillov orbit method \textit{\`a la Dixmier} for nilpotent super Lie algebras. These super algebras are a generalization of the so-called \emph{Yang-Mills algebras}, introduced by A. Connes and M. Dubois-Violette in \cite{CD02}, but in fact they appear as a "background independent" formulation of supersymmetric gauge theory consider...

The antifield-BRST formalism and the various cohomologies associated with it are surveyed and illustrated in the context of Yang-Mills gauge theory. In particular, the central role played by the Koszul-Tate resolution and its relation to the characteristic cohomology are stressed.

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an N-Koszul algebra defined by a homogeneous potential, to be 3-Calabi-Yau. As an application, we recover two families of 3-Calabi-Yau algebras recently appeared in the literature, by studying skew polynomial algebras over non-commutative quadrics.

In this paper we investigate some important basic properties of simple Hom-Lie superalgebras and show that a Hom-Lie superalgebra does not have any left or right nontrivial ideals. Moreover, we classify invariant bilinear forms on a given simple Hom-Lie superalgebra. Then we study the Killing forms on a Hom-Lie algebra which are examples of the invariant bilinear forms. Making use of the Killing forms, we find conditions for a Hom-Lie superalgebra to be classical. Furthermore...

There are three kinds of Lie superalgebras for each differentiable manifold. In this note, we shall show an application of the homology groups of those superalgebras in order to classify 4 dimensional Engel-like Lie algebras.

We give a one-dimensional interpretation of the four-dimensional twisted N=1 superYang-Mills theory on a Kaehler manifold by performing an appropriate dimensional reduction. We prove the existence of a 6-generator superalgebra, which does not possess any invariant Lagrangian but contains two different subalgebras that determine the twisted and untwisted formulations of the N=1 superYang-Mills theory.

The purpose of this paper is to study Hom-Lie superalgebras, that is a superspace with a bracket for which the superJacobi identity is twisted by a homomorphism. This class is a particular case of $\Gamma$-graded quasi-Lie algebras introduced by Larsson and Silvestrov. In this paper, we characterize Hom-Lie admissible superalgebras and provide a construction theorem from which we derive a one parameter family of Hom-Lie superalgebras deforming the orthosymplectic Lie superalg...

We compute supersymmetry algebra (superalgebra) in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories (SYM) consisting of a vector multiplet including fermionic contribution in six dimensions. We show that the contribution of fermion is given by boundary terms. From six dimensional results we determine superalgebras of five and four dimensional SYM by dimensional reduction. In five dimensional superalgebra the Kaluza-Klein momentum and the instanton particle charge are not the same but algeb...

In this note we give a homological explanation of "pure spinors" in YM theories with minimal amount of supersymmetries. We construct A_{\infty} algebras A for every dimension D=3,4,6,10, which for D=10 coincides with homogeneous coordinate ring of pure spinors with coordinate lambda^{alpha}. These algebras are Bar-dual to Lie algebras generated by supersymmetries, written in components. The algebras have a finite number of higher multiplications. The main result of the presen...

We consider ten-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (10D SUSY YM theory) and its dimensional reductions, in particular, BFSS and IKKT models. We formulate these theories using algebraic techniques based on application of differential graded Lie algebras and associative algebras as well as of more general objects, L_{\infty}- and A_{\infty}- algebras. We show that using pure spinor formulation of 10D SUSY YM theory equations of motion and isotwistor formalism one ca...
