Frieze groups are discrete subgroups of the full group of isometries of a flat strip. We investigate here the dynamics of specific architected materials generated by acting with a frieze group on a collection of self-coupling seed resonators. We demonstrate that, under unrestricted reconfigurations of the internal structures of the seed resonators, the dynamical matrices of the materials generate the full self-adjoint sector of the stabilized group C*-algebra of the frieze group. As a consequence, in applications where the positions, orientations and internal structures of the seed resonators are adiabatically modified, the spectral bands of the dynamical matrices carry a complete set of topological invariants that are fully accounted by the K-theory of the mentioned algebra. By resolving the generators of the K-theory, we produce the model dynamical matrices that carry the elementary topological charges, which we implement with systems of plate resonators to showcase several applications in spectral engineering. The paper is written in an expository style. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider the quantum Gelfand invariants which first appeared in a landmark paper by Reshetikhin et al. [Algebra Anal. 1(1), 178–206 (1989)]. We calculate the eigenvalues of the invariants acting in irreducible highest weight representations of the quantized enveloping algebra for g l n . The calculation is based on Liouville-type formulas relating two families of central elements in the quantum affine algebras of type A. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate the affine ageing algebra a g e ̂ (1) , which is a central extension of the loop algebra of the one-spatial ageing algebra a g e (1). Certain Verma-type modules including Verma modules and imaginary Verma modules of a g e ̂ (1) are studied. Particularly, the simplicity of these modules are characterized and their irreducible quotient modules are determined. We also study the restricted modules of a g e ̂ (1) which are also the modules of the affine vertex algebra arising from the one-spatial ageing algebra a g e (1). We present certain constructions of simple restricted a g e ̂ (1) -modules and an explicit such example of simple restricted module via the Whittaker module of a g e ̂ (1) is given.

In this paper, we introduce a family of functors denoted as F b , which act on algebraic D-modules and produce modules over N = 2 superconformal algebras. We demonstrate that these functors preserve irreducibility for all values of b, except for explicitly outlined cases. Moreover, we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for determining the natural isomorphism between two such functors. Our constructed functors recover specific irreducible modules over N = 2 superconformal algebras, including intermediate series and U (h) -free modules. Additionally, we show that our constructed functors yield several new irreducible modules for N = 2 superconformal algebras. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The notion of O -operator is a generalization of the Rota–Baxter operator in the presence of a bimodule over an associative algebra. A compatible O -operator is a pair consisting of two O -operators satisfying a compatibility relation. A compatible O -operator algebra is an algebra together with a bimodule and a compatible O -operator. In this paper, we construct a graded Lie algebra and an L∞-algebra that respectively characterize compatible O -operators and compatible O -operator algebras as Maurer–Cartan elements. Using these characterizations, we define cohomology of these structures and as applications, we study formal deformations of compatible O -operators and compatible O -operator algebras. Finally, we consider a brief cohomological study of compatible dendriform algebras and find their relationship with the cohomology of compatible associative algebras and compatible O -operators.
