Abstract

We study affine Jacobi structures on an affine bundle $π:A\to M$, i.e. Jacobi brackets that close on affine functions. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between affine Jacobi structures on $A$ and Lie algebroid structures on the vector bundle $A^+=\bigcup_{p\in M}Aff(A_p,\R)$ of affine functionals. Some examples and applications, also for the linear case, are discussed. For a special type of affine Jacobi structures which are canonically exhibited (strongly-affine or affine-homogeneous Jacobi structures) over a real vector space of finite dimension, we describe the leaves of its characteristic foliation as the orbits of an affine representation. These affine Jacobi structures can be viewed as an analog of the Kostant-Arnold-Liouville linear Poisson structure on the dual space of a real finite-dimensional Lie algebra.

Cohomology of Lie algebroids over topological ringed spaces

We consider Lie algebroids over a topological ringed space as quasicoherent sheaves of Lie-Rinehart algebras. We express hypercohomology for a locally free Lie algebroid (not necessarily of finite rank) as a derived functor, and simplify it via Čech cohomology. Furthermore, we define the Hochschild hypercohomology of a sheaf of generalized bialgebras (using a derived functor) and study the cases of the universal enveloping algebroid and of the jet algebroid of a Lie algebroid. In the sequel, we present a version of Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem for a locally free Lie algebroid, as well as its dual version.

Family index for Fredholm extensions of semi-Fredholm operators

This paper is devoted to an abstract analogue of elliptic boundary value problems, namely, Fredholm realizations of semi-Fredholm operators in a Hilbert space. Such a realization is determined by an abstract boundary condition, which is a subspace in the space of abstract boundary values. We find the $K^0$ index of a family of such abstract boundary value problems, or the $K^1$ index in the self-adjoint case, in terms of the corresponding family of abstract boundary conditions. Our approach is based on passing from a Fredholm operator to its graph. The graph forms a Fredholm pair with the horizontal subspace, and we prove the index formula by deforming the horizontal subspace instead of the operator.

Classifying Slice-Regular Polynomials via Group Actions on the Twistor Space

We study the equivalence classes of slice-regular functions $f:Ω\to\mathbb{H}$ on a symmetric slice domain $Ω$, and of their subclass made of polynomial slice-regular functions, with respect to the natural action of $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\mathbb{H})$ and its subgroups, by employing the twistor construction. In particular, we characterize slice--regular functions whose twistor lift is planar and belongs to a given orbit, and we find normal classes of slice-regular polynomials with respect to the action of a parabolic subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb{H})$.
