We propose an extension of [Formula: see text]-ary Nambu–Poisson bracket to superspace [Formula: see text] and construct by means of superdeterminant a family of Nambu–Poisson algebras of even degree functions, where the parameter of this family is an invertible transformation of Grassmann coordinates in superspace [Formula: see text]. We prove in the case of the superspaces [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] that our [Formula: see text]-ary bracket, defined with the help of superdeterminant, satisfies the conditions for [Formula: see text]-ary Nambu–Poisson bracket, i.e. it is totally skew-symmetric and it satisfies the Leibniz rule and the Filippov–Jacobi identity (fundamental identity). We study the structure of [Formula: see text]-ary bracket defined with the help of superdeterminant in the case of superspace [Formula: see text] and show that it is the sum of usual [Formula: see text]-ary Nambu–Poisson bracket and a new [Formula: see text]-ary bracket, which we call [Formula: see text]-bracket, where [Formula: see text] is the product of two odd degree smooth functions.

AbstractA Hom-structure on a Lie algebra (g,[,]) is a linear map σ W g σ g which satisfies the Hom-Jacobi identity: [σ(x), [y,z]] + [σ(y), [z,x]] + [σ(z),[x,y]] = 0 for all x; y; z ∈ g. A Hom-structure is referred to as multiplicative if it is also a Lie algebra homomorphism. This paper aims to determine explicitly all the Homstructures on the finite-dimensional semi-simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. As a Hom-structure on a Lie algebra is not necessarily a Lie algebra homomorphism, the method developed for multiplicative Hom-structures by Jin and Li in [J. Algebra 319 (2008): 1398–1408] does not work again in our case. The critical technique used in this paper, which is completely different from that in [J. Algebra 319 (2008): 1398– 1408], is that we characterize the Hom-structures on a semi-simple Lie algebra g by introducing certain reduction methods and using the software GAP. The results not only improve the earlier ones in [J. Algebra 319 (2008): 1398– 1408], but also correct an error in the conclusion for the 3-dimensional simple Lie algebra sl2. In particular, we find an interesting fact that all the Hom-structures on sl2 constitute a 6-dimensional Jordan algebra in the usual way.

We construct L∞ algebras for general “initial data” given by a vector space equipped with an antisymmetric bracket not necessarily satisfying the Jacobi identity. We prove that any such bracket can be extended to a 2-term L∞ algebra on a graded vector space of twice the dimension, with the 3-bracket being related to the Jacobiator. While these L∞ algebras always exist, they generally do not realize a nontrivial symmetry in a field theory. In order to define L∞ algebras with genuine field theory realizations, we prove the significantly more general theorem that if the Jacobiator takes values in the image of any linear map that defines an ideal there is a 3-term L∞ algebra with a generally nontrivial 4-bracket. We discuss special cases such as the commutator algebra of octonions, its contraction to the “R-flux algebra,” and the Courant algebroid.

For redundant second-class constraints the Dirac brackets cannot be defined and new brackets must be introduced. We prove here that the Jacobi identity for the new brackets must hold on the surface of the second-class constraints. In order to illustrate our proof we work out explicitly the cases of a fractional spin particle in 2+1 dimensions and the original Brink–Schwarz massless superparticle in D=10 dimensions in a Lorentz-covariant constraints separation.

Infinite Dimensional Lie Algebra

Given a matrix Lie algebra one can construct the 3-Lie algebra by means of the trace of a matrix. In the present paper, we show that this approach can be extended to the infinite-dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields on a manifold if instead of the trace of a matrix we consider a differential 1-form which satisfies certain conditions. Then we show that the same approach can be extended to matrix Lie superalgebras [Formula: see text] if instead of the trace of a matrix we make use of the supertrace of a matrix. It is proved that a graded triple commutator of matrices constructed with the help of the graded commutator and the supertrace satisfies a graded ternary Filippov–Jacobi identity. In two particular cases of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we show that the Pauli and Dirac matrices generate the matrix 3-Lie superalgebras, and we find the non-trivial graded triple commutators of these algebras. We propose a Clifford algebra approach to 3-Lie superalgebras induced by Lie superalgebras. We also discuss an application of matrix 3-Lie superalgebras in BRST-formalism.
