Preface

The aim of this book is to extend the understanding of the fundamental role of generalizations of Lie and related non-commutative and non-associative structures in Mathematics and Physics. This is a thematic volume devoted to the interplay between several rapidly expanding research fields in contemporary Mathematics and Physics, such as generalizations of the main structures of Lie theory aimed at quantization and discrete and non-commutative extensions of differential calculus and geometry, non-associative structures, actions of groups and semi-groups, non-commutative dynamics, noncommutative geometry and applications in Physics and beyond. The specific fields covered by this volume include: • Applications of Lie, non-associative and non-commutative associative structures to generalizations of classical and quantum mechanics and non-linear integrable systems, operadic and group theoretical methods; • Generalizations and quasi-deformations of Lie algebras such as color and super Lie algebras, quasi-Lie algebras, Hom–Lie algebras, infinite-dimensional Lie algebras of vector fields associated to Riemann surfaces, quasi-Lie a
