In recent years, averaging operators on Lie algebras (also called embedding tensors in the physics literature) and associated tensor hierarchies have formed an efficient tool for constructing supergravity and higher gauge theories. A Lie algebra with an averaging operator is called an averaging Lie algebra. In the present paper, we introduce 2-term averaging L ∞ -algebras and give characterizations of some particular classes of such homotopy algebras. Next, we study non-abelian extensions of an averaging Lie algebra by another averaging Lie algebra. We define the second non-abelian cohomology group to classify the equivalence classes of such non-abelian extensions. Next, given a non-abelian extension of averaging Lie algebras, we show that the obstruction for a pair of averaging Lie algebra automorphisms to be inducible can be seen as the image of a suitable Wells map. Finally, we discuss the Wells short exact sequence in the above context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lie-Yamaguti algebras generalize both the notions of Lie algebras and Lie triple systems. In this paper, we consider the inducibility problem for automorphisms of Lie-Yamaguti algebra extensions. More precisely, given an abelian extension [Display omitted] of a Lie-Yamaguti algebra L , we are interested in finding the pairs (ϕ , ψ) ∈ Aut (V) × Aut (L) , which are inducible by an automorphism in Aut (L ˜). We connect the inducibility problem to the (2 , 3) -cohomology of Lie-Yamaguti algebra. In particular, we show that the obstruction for a pair of automorphisms in Aut (V) × Aut (L) to be inducible lies in the (2 , 3) -cohomology group H (2 , 3) (L , V). We develop the Wells exact sequence for Lie-Yamaguti algebra extensions, which relates the space of derivations, automorphism groups, and (2 , 3) -cohomology groups of Lie-Yamaguti algebras. As an application, we describe certain automorphism groups of semi-direct product Lie-Yamaguti algebras. In a sequel, we apply our results to discuss inducibility problem for nilpotent Lie-Yamaguti algebras of index 2. We give examples of infinite families of such nilpotent Lie-Yamaguti algebras and characterize the inducible pairs of automorphisms for extensions arising from these examples. Finally, we write an algorithm to find out all the inducible pairs of automorphisms for extensions arising from nilpotent Lie-Yamaguti algebras of index 2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let Γ be a congruence subgroup of level N in GL n (Z). Let P be a maximal Q -parabolic subgroup of GL n / Q , with unipotent radical U , and let Q = (P ∩ Γ) / (U ∩ Γ). Let p > dim Q ⁡ (U (Q)) + 1 be a prime number that does not divide N. Let M be a (U , p) -admissible Γ-module. Consider the Lyndon-Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence arising from the exact sequence 1 → U ∩ Γ → P ∩ Γ → Q → 1 , which abuts to H ⁎ (P ∩ Γ , M). We show that if M is a trivial U ∩ Γ -module, then certain classes in the E 2 page survive to E ∞. We use this to obtain information about classes in H ⁎ (P ∩ Γ , M) even if M is not a trivial U ∩ Γ -module. This information will be used in future work to prove a Serre-type conjecture for sums of two irreducible Galois representations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider stratifying ideals of finite dimensional algebras in relation with Morita contexts. A Morita context is an algebra built on a data consisting of two algebras, two bimodules and two morphisms. For a strongly stratifying Morita context - or equivalently for a strongly stratifying ideal - we show that Han's conjecture holds if and only if it holds for the diagonal subalgebra. The main tool is the Jacobi-Zariski long exact sequence. One of the main consequences is that Han's conjecture holds for an algebra admitting a strongly (co-)stratifying chain whose steps verify Han's conjecture. If Han's conjecture is true for local algebras and an algebra Λ admits a primitive strongly (co-)stratifying chain, then Han's conjecture holds for Λ. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
