Classification of complex simply connected homogeneous spaces of dimension not greater than 2

The paper is devoted to the classification of finite-dimensional complex Lie algebras of analytic vector fields on the complex plane and the corresponding actions of Lie groups on complex two-dimensional manifolds. These Lie algebras were specified by Sophus Lie. He specified vector fields which form bases of the Lie algebras. However the structure of the Lie algebras was not clarified, and isomorphic Lie algebras among listed were not established. Thus, the classification was far from complete, and the situation has not been essentially changed until now. This paper is devoted to the completion of the above mentioned classification. We consider the part of this classification which concerns transitive actions of Lie groups.

Foundations of the Theory of Dual Lie Algebras

In this paper we introduce and study dual Lie algebras, i.e., Lie algebras over the algebra of dual numbers. We establish some fundamental properties of such Lie algebras and compare them with the corresponding properties of real and complex Lie algebras. We discuss the question of classification of dual Lie algebras of small dimension and consider the connection of dual Lie algebras with approximate Lie algebras.     

c-Graded filiform Lie algebras

In this paper we generalize naturally graded filiform Lie algebras as well as filiform Lie algebras admitting a connected gradation of maximal length, by introducing the concept of c-graded complex filiform Lie algebras. We deal with the particular case of 3-graded filiform Lie algebras and we obtain their classification in arbitrary dimension. We finally show a link among derived algebras, graded filiform and rigid solvable Lie algebras.

Finite gradings of special linear Lie algebras

In this paper, we study gradings of simple classical Lie algebras with arbitrary Abelian groups and the interconnection of such gradings and automorphism groups of Lie algebras. We give a complete classification of gradings of special linear Lie algebras that are specified by inner automorphisms in the case of an algebraically closed field of zero characteristic.     

Metric Lie algebras and quadratic extensions

The present paper contains a systematic study of the structure of metric Lie algebras, i.e., finite-dimensional real Lie algebras equipped with a nondegenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form. We show that any metric Lie algebra g without simple ideals has the structure of a so called balanced quadratic extension of an auxiliary Lie algebra l by an orthogonal l-module a in a canonical way. Identifying equivalence classes of quadratic extensions of l by a with a certain cohomology set H²_Q(l,a), we obtain a classification scheme for general metric Lie algebras and a complete classification of metric Lie algebras of index 3.     

Algébre de lie de type witt

Let ρ be an abelian group and k a commutative field. Inspired by the example of the Witt algebra, we introduce a family of ρ-graded Lie algebras (called Witt type Lie algebras) V = ⊕α?r Vα. where the dimension of each homogeneous component is 1. We characterise those which are simple and we give a complete classification of these Lie algebras. When P is free and the characteristic of k is zero, we show that the universal central extension of simple Witt type Lie algebras is 1-dimensional, and the corresponding cocycle is similar to the cocycle of the Virasoro algebra.     

Blocks and modules for Whittaker pairs

Inspired by recent activities on Whittaker modules over various (Lie) algebras, we describe a general framework for the study of Lie algebra modules locally finite over a subalgebra. As a special case, we obtain a very general set-up for the study of Whittaker modules, which includes, in particular, Lie algebras with triangular decomposition and simple Lie algebras of Cartan type. We describe some basic properties of Whittaker modules, including a block decomposition of the category of Whittaker modules and certain properties of simple Whittaker modules under some rather mild assumptions. We establish a connection between our general set-up and the general set-up of Harish-Chandra subalgebras in the sense of Drozd, Futorny and Ovsienko. For Lie algebras with triangular decomposition, we construct a family of simple Whittaker modules (roughly depending on the choice of a pair of weights in the dual of the Cartan subalgebra), describe their annihilators, and formulate several classification conjectures. In particular, we construct some new simple Whittaker modules for the Virasoro algebra. Finally, we construct a series of simple Whittaker modules for the Lie algebra of derivations of the polynomial algebra, and consider several finite-dimensional examples, where we study the category of Whittaker modules over solvable Lie algebras and their relation to Koszul algebras.

Construction process for simple Lie algebras

We give here a construction process for the complex simple Lie algebras and the non-Hermitian type real forms which intersect the minimal nilpotent complex adjoint orbit, using a finite dimensional irreducible representation of the conformal group, or of some two-fold covering of it, with highest weight vector a semi-invariant of degree four. This process leads to a five-graded simple complex Lie algebra and the underlying semi-invariant is intimately related to the structure of the minimal nilpotent orbit. We also describe a similar construction process for the simple real Lie algebras of Hermitian type.     

Solvable Leibniz Algebras with Heisenberg Nilradical

All solvable Lie algebras with Heisenberg nilradical have already been classified. We extend this result to a classification of solvable Leibniz algebras with Heisenberg nilradical. As an example, we show the complete classification of all real or complex Leibniz algebras whose nilradical is the 3-dimensional Heisenberg algebra.     

Classification of Lie algebras of specific type in complexified Clifford algebras

We give a full classification of Lie algebras of specific type in complexified Clifford algebras. These 16 Lie algebras are direct sums of subspaces of quaternion types. We obtain isomorphisms between these Lie algebras and classical matrix Lie algebras in the cases of arbitrary dimension and signature. We present 16 Lie groups: one Lie group for each Lie algebra associated with this Lie group. We study connection between these groups and spin groups.     

Classification of three-dimensional zeropotent algebras over an algebraically closed field

A nonassociative algebra is defined to be zeropotent if the square of any element is zero. Zeropotent algebras are exactly the same as anticommutative algebras when the characteristic of the ground field is not two. The class of zeropotent algebras properly contains that of Lie algebras. In this paper, we give a complete classification of three-dimensional zeropotent algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to two. By restricting the result to the subclass of Lie algebras, we can obtain a classification of three-dimensional complex Lie algebras, which is in accordance with the conventional one.     

Metric Lie algebras with maximal isotropic centre

A metric Lie algebra is a Lie algebra equipped with an invariant non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form. It is called indecomposable if it is not the direct sum of two metric Lie algebras. We are interested in describing the isomorphism classes of indecomposable metric Lie algebras. In the present paper we restrict ourselves to a certain class of solvable metric Lie algebras which includes all indecomposable metric Lie algebras with maximal isotropic centre. We will see that each metric Lie algebra belonging to this class is a twofold extension associated with an orthogonal representation of an abelian Lie algebra. We will describe equivalence classes of such extensions by a certain cohomology set. In particular we obtain a classification scheme for indecomposable metric Lie algebras with maximal isotropic centre and the classification of metric Lie algebras of index 2.     

Hyper-para-Kähler Lie algebras with abelian complex structures and their classification up to dimension 8

Hyper-para-Kähler structures on Lie algebras where the complex structure is abelian are studied. We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between such hyper-para-Kähler Lie algebras and complex commutative (hence, associative) symplectic left-symmetric algebras admitting a semilinear map \(K_s\) verifying certain algebraic properties. Such equivalence allows us to give a complete classification, up to holomorphic isomorphism, of pairs \(({\mathfrak g},J)\) of 8-dimensional Lie algebras endowed with abelian complex structures which admit hyper-para-Kähler structures.     

On simply laced Lie algebras and their minuscule representations

In this paper we adapt a known construction for the simply laced, semisimple Lie algebras (over Z), and thereby obtain a very simple construction for all minuscule representations of those Lie algebras (again over Z). We apply these results to give explicit formulas for tensors invariant under the exceptional algebras and . Received: November 3, 2000     

Gradings on Finite-Dimensional Simple Lie Algebras

In this survey paper we present recent classification results for gradings by arbitrary groups on finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2. We also describe the main tools that were used to obtain these results (in particular, the classification of group gradings on matrix algebras).     

ON THE PRIMARY DECOMPOSITION THEOREM OF MODULAR LIE SUPERALGEBRAS

This gives some identities of associative Lie superalgebras and some properties of modular Lie superalgebras. Furthermore, the primary decomposition theorem of modular Lie superalgebras is shown. It is well known that the primary decomposition theorem of modular Lie algebras has played an important role in the classification of the finite-dimensional simple modular Lie algebras (see [5, 6]). Analogously, the primary decomposition theorem of modular Lie superalgebras may play an important role in the open classification of the finite dimensional simple modular Lie superalgebras.
