Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Lie algebras constitute one of the most versatile tools in modern mathematics, appearing in many different disciplines like Mechanics, Differential Geometry, Differential Equations or Quantum Theories, being also a relevant technique in Control Theory or Robotics, among others.

We invite researchers to contribute either original papers or review articles concerning currently open problems within the theory of Lie algebras/superalgebras, finite or infinite, and/or dealing with its applications in other disciplines, including engineering sciences.

Articles with strong geometrical backgrounds or describing new computational methods in representation or structural theory, as well as in applications, are especially welcome. Beyond the forementioned topics, the Special Issue is also open to receiving further ideas and applications.

Dr. Rutwig Campoamor-Stursberg
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Axioms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The contraction method is a procedure that allows to establish non-trivial relations between Lie algebras and has had successful applications in both mathematics and theoretical physics. This work deals with generalizations of the contraction procedure, with a main focus on the so-called S-expansion method, as it includes most of the other generalized contractions. Basically, the S-expansion combines a Lie algebra G with a finite abelian semigroup S in order to define new S-expanded algebras. After giving a description of the main ingredients used in this paper, we present a Java library that automates the S-expansion procedure. With this computational tool, we are able to represent Lie algebras and semigroups, so we can perform S-expansions of Lie algebras using arbitrary semigroups. We explain how the library methods have been constructed and how they work; then, we give a set of example programs aimed to solve different problems. They are presented so that any user can easily modify them to perform their own calculations, without necessarily being an expert in Java. Finally, some comments about further developments and possible new applications are made. Full article

This paper investigates the properties of the Yang–Baxter equation, which was initially formulated in the field of theoretical physics and statistical mechanics. The equation’s framework is extended through Yang–Baxter systems, aiming to unify algebraic and coalgebraic structures. The unification of the algebra structures and the coalgebra structures leads to an extension for the duality between finite dimensional algebras and finite dimensional coalgebras to the category of finite dimensional Yang–Baxter structures. In the same manner, we attempt to unify the Tzitzeica–Johnson theorem and its dual version, obtaining a new theorem about circle configurations. Full article

Abstract
This study introduces a 4×4 matrix eigenvalue problem and develops an integrable hierarchy with a bi-Hamiltonian structure. Integrability is ensured by the zero-curvature condition, while the Hamiltonian structure is supported by the trace identity.

This study introduces a 4×4 matrix eigenvalue problem and develops an integrable hierarchy with a bi-Hamiltonian structure. Integrability is ensured by the zero-curvature condition, while the Hamiltonian structure is supported by the trace identity. Explicit derivations yield second-order and third-order integrable equations, illustrating the integrable hierarchy. Full article
