Strongly Homotopy Lie Algebras of One Even and Two Odd Dimensions

Alice Fialowski, Michael Penkava

We classify strongly homotopy Lie algebras - also called L-infinity algebras - of one even and two odd dimensions, which are related to -dimensional -graded Lie algebras.…

Versal Deformations of Three Dimensional Lie Algebras as L-infinity Algebras

Alice Fialowski, Michael Penkava

We consider versal deformations of 0|3-dimensional L-infinity algebras, which correspond precisely to ordinary (non-graded) three dimensional Lie algebras. The classification of su…

Volume of representation varieties

Motohico Mulase, Michael Penkava

We introduce the notion of volume of the representation variety of a finitely presented discrete group in a compact Lie group using the push-forward measure associated to a map def…

Infinity Algebras, Cohomology and Cyclic Cohomology, and Infinitesimal Deformations

Michael Penkava

An A-infinity algebra is given by a codifferential on the tensor coalgebra of a (graded) vector space. An associative algebra is a special case of an A-infinity algebra, determined…

Examples of infinity and Lie algebras and their versal deformations

Alice Fialowski, Michael Penkava

This article explores some simple examples of L-infinity algebras and the construction of miniversal deformations of these structures. Among other things, it is shown that there ar…

Infinity Algebras, Massey Products, and Deformations

Michael Penkava, Lynelle Weldon

In this paper we give some examples of generalized Massey products, arising from deformations of A-infinity and L-infinity algebras. The generalized Massey products are given by ce…
