The aim of the Expositions is to present new and important developments in pure and applied mathematics. Well established in the community over more than two decades, the series offers a large library of mathematical works, including several important classics. The volumes suppl…
Groups which satisfy commutator relations of the type satisfied by Chevalley groups, called here "groups with Steinberg relations", are shown to have certain nonassociative division algebras as parameters. This, in turn, allows an introduction of coordinates into certain polygon…

In this work we recover the construction of Kac-Kazhdan-Lepowsky-Wilson (1981) of the basic modules for the affine Lie algebras of types A([superscript]K), D([superscript]K), and E([superscript]K) using a new method.
For a Lie algebra sheaf L of derivations of a sheaf of rings O on a space X global cohomology groups and local cohomology sheaves are introduced and analyzed. Global and local splitting obstructions for extensions of modules over a Lie algebra sheaf are studied. In the applicati…
