Lie algebras induced by a nonzero field derivation

Given a finite-dimensional associative commutative algebra A over a field F, we define the structure of a Lie algebra using a nonzero derivation D of A. If A is a field and charF > 3; then the corresponding algebra is simple, presenting a nonisomorphic analog of the Zassenhaus algebra W ₁(m).     

Quasi-state rigidity for finite-dimensional Lie algebras

We say that a Lie algebra g is quasi-state rigid if every Ad-invariant continuous Lie quasi-state on it is the directional derivative of a homogeneous quasimorphism. Extending work of Entov and Polterovich, we show that every reductive Lie algebra, as well as the algebras C ⁿ ? u(n), n ≥ 1, are rigid. On the other hand, a Lie algebra which surjects onto the three-dimensional Heisenberg algebra is not rigid. For Lie algebras of dimension ≤ 3 and for solvable Lie algebras which split over a codimension one abelian ideal, we show that this is the only obstruction to rigidity.     

Determinant formula and a realization for the Lie algebra <Emphasis Type="Italic">W</Emphasis> (2, 2)

In this paper, an explicit determinant formula is given for the Verma modules over the Lie algebra W(2, 2). We construct a natural realization of certain vaccum module for the algebra W(2, 2) via theWeyl vertex algebra. We also describe several results including the irreducibility, characters and the descending filtrations of submodules for the Verma module over the algebra W(2, 2).     

RESTRICTED LIE ALGEBRAS WITH MAXIMAL 0-PIM

In this paper it is shown that the projective cover of the trivial irreducible module of a finite-dimensional solvable restricted Lie algebra is induced from the one dimensional trivial module of a maximal torus. As a consequence, the number of the isomorphism classes of irreducible modules with a fixed p-character for a finite-dimensional solvable restricted Lie algebra L is bounded above by p ^MT(L), where MT(L) denotes the maximal dimension of a torus in L. Finally, it is proved that in characteristic p > 3 the projective cover of the trivial irreducible L-module is induced from the one-dimensional trivial module of a torus of maximal dimension, only if L is solvable.     

Characterization of 2-Local Derivations and Local Lie Derivations on Some Algebras

We prove that each 2-local derivation from the algebra M_n(A ) (n > 2) into its bimodule M_n(M) is a derivation, where A is a unital Banach algebra and M is a unital A -bimodule such that each Jordan derivation from A into M is an inner derivation, and that each 2-local derivation on a C*-algebra with a faithful traceable representation is a derivation. We also characterize local and 2-local Lie derivations on some algebras such as von Neumann algebras, nest algebras, the Jiang–Su algebra, and UHF algebras.     

A class of simple Lie algebras attached to unit forms

Let n ≥ 3. The complex Lie algebra, which is attached to a unit form q(x ₁, x ₂,..., x _n) = \({\sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^n {x_i^2 + \sum\nolimits_{1 \leqslant i \leqslant j \leqslant n} {\left( { - 1} \right)} } ^{j - i}}{x_i}{x_j}\) and defined by generators and generalized Serre relations, is proved to be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra of type A _n , and realized by the Ringel-Hall Lie algebra of a Nakayama algebra of radical square zero. As its application of the realization, we give the roots and a Chevalley basis of the simple Lie algebra.     

SCAP-subalgebras of Lie algebras

A subalgebra H of a finite dimensional Lie algebra L is said to be a SCAP-subalgebra if there is a chief series 0 = L₀ ? L₁ ?... ? L_t = L of L such that for every i = 1, 2,..., t, we have H + L_i = H + L_i-1 or H ∩ L_i = H ∩ L_i-1. This is analogous to the concept of SCAP-subgroup, which has been studied by a number of authors. In this article, we investigate the connection between the structure of a Lie algebra and its SCAP-subalgebras and give some sufficient conditions for a Lie algebra to be solvable or supersolvable.     

Centralizers in Lie Algebras

We determine the number of centralizers of different non-abelian finite dimensional Lie algebras over a specific field. Also, the concept of Lie algebras with abelian centralizers are studied and using a result of Bokut and Kukin [5], for a given residually free Lie algebra L, it is shown that L is fully residually free if and only if every centralizer of non-zero elements of L is abelian.     

Diagonal reduction algebra and the reflection equation

We describe the diagonal reduction algebra D(gl _n ) of the Lie algebra gl _n in the R-matrix formalism. As a byproduct we present two families of central elements and the braided bialgebra structure of D(gl _n ).     

Irreducible <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Stack><Subscript>1</Subscript><Superscript>(1)</Superscript></Stack>-modules from modules over two-dimensional non-abelian Lie algebra

For any module V over the two-dimensional non-abelian Lie algebra b and scalar α ∈ C, we define a class of weight modules F ^α (V) with zero central charge over the affine Lie algebra A ₁ ⁽¹⁾ . These weight modules have infinitedimensional weight spaces if and only if V is infinite dimensional. In this paper, we will determine necessary and sufficient conditions for these modules F ^α(V) to be irreducible. In this way, we obtain a lot of irreducible weight A ₁ ⁽¹⁾ -modules with infinite-dimensional weight spaces.     

On a Variety Related to the Commuting Variety of a Reductive Lie Algebra

For a reductive Lie algbera over an algbraically closed field of charasteristic zero, we consider a Borel subgroup B of its adjoint group, a Cartan subalgebra contained in the Lie algebra of B and the closure X of its orbit under B in the Grassmannian. The variety X plays an important role in the study of the commuting variety. In this note, we prove that X is Gorenstein with rational singularities.     

Representations of the Witt Lie Superalgebra with <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-character of Height One

Let W(n) be the Witt Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>2. We study the representations of W(n),n≥3 with p-character of height one. We prove that the Kac module always has a unique simple quotient and all simple modules are given in this way. In fact, most Kac modules are simple. We will determine the sufficient and necessary conditions such that the Kac module is simple. Moreover, composition factors of each Kac module can be determined. It is proved that the number of composition factors in each Kac module is at most 2.     

Dual Lie bialgebra structures of Poisson types

Let \(\mathcal{A} = \mathbb{F}[x,y]\) be the polynomial algebra on two variables x, y over an algebraically closed field \(\mathbb{F}\) of characteristic zero. Under the Poisson bracket, \(\mathcal{A}\) is equipped with a natural Lie algebra structure. It is proven that the maximal good subspace of \(\mathcal{A}*\) induced from the multiplication of the associative commutative algebra \(\mathcal{A}\) coincides with the maximal good subspace of \(\mathcal{A}*\) induced from the Poisson bracket of the Poisson Lie algebra \(\mathcal{A}\). Based on this, structures of dual Lie bialgebras of the Poisson type are investigated. As by-products, five classes of new infinite-dimensional Lie algebras are obtained.     

Graded Lie algebras with few nontrivial components

We prove that if a (?/n?)-graded Lie algebra L = ? _i=0 ^n?1 L _i has d nontrivial components L _i and the null component L ₀ has finite dimension m, then L has a homogeneous solvable ideal of derived length bounded by a function of d and of codimension bounded by a function of m and d. An analogous result holds also for the (?/n?)-graded Lie rings L = ? _i=0 ^n?1 with few nontrivial components L _i if the null component L ₀ has finite order m. These results generalize Kreknin’s theorem on the solvability of the (?/n?)-graded Lie rings L = ? _i=0 ^n?1 L _i with trivial component L ₀ and Shalev’s theorem on the solvability of such Lie rings with few nontrivial components L _i . The proof is based on the method of generalized centralizers which was created by E. I. Khukhro for Lie rings and nilpotent groups with almost regular automorphisms of prime order [1], as well as on the technique developed in the work of N. Yu. Makarenko and E. I. Khukhro on the almost solvability of Lie algebras with an almost regular automorphism of finite order [2].     

Lie Algebras of Slow Growth and Klein-Gordon PDE

We discuss the notion of characteristic Lie algebra of a hyperbolic PDE. The integrability of a hyperbolic PDE is closely related to the properties of the corresponding characteristic Lie algebra χ. We establish two explicit isomorphisms:

1. 1)
   the first one is between the characteristic Lie algebra \(\chi (\sinh {u})\) of the sinh-Gordon equation \(u_{xy}=\sinh {u}\) and the non-negative part \({\mathcal {L}}({\mathfrak {sl}}(2,{\mathbb {C}}))^{\ge 0}\) of the loop algebra of \({\mathfrak {sl}}(2,{\mathbb {C}})\) that corresponds to the Kac-Moody algebra \(A_{1}^{(1)}\)

   $$\chi(\sinh{u})\cong {\mathcal{L}}({\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}(2,{\mathbb{C}}))^{\ge 0}={\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}(2, {\mathbb{C}}) \otimes {\mathbb{C}}[t]. $$
    
2. 2)
   the second isomorphism is for the Tzitzeica equation u_xy = e^u + e^??2u

   $$\chi(e^{u}{+}e^{-2u}) \cong {\mathcal{L}}({\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}(3,{\mathbb{C}}), \mu)^{\ge0}=\bigoplus_{j = 0}^{+\infty}{\mathfrak{g}}_{j (\text{mod} \; 2)} \otimes t^{j}, $$

   where \({\mathcal {L}}({\mathfrak {sl}}(3,{\mathbb {C}}), \mu )=\bigoplus _{j \in {\mathbb {Z}}}{\mathfrak {g}}_{j (\text {mod} \; 2)} \otimes t^{j}\) is the twisted loop algebra of the simple Lie algebra \({\mathfrak {sl}}(3,{\mathbb {C}})\) that corresponds to the Kac-Moody algebra \(A_{2}^{(2)}\).
    

Hence the Lie algebras \(\chi (\sinh {u})\) and χ(e^u + e^??2u) are slowly linearly growing Lie algebras with average growth rates \(\frac {3}{2}\) and \(\frac {4}{3}\) respectively.     

On lie algebras of affine vector fields of ideal realizations of holomorphic linear connections

We study the properties of real realizations of holomorphic linear connections over associative commutative algebras \(\mathbb{A}\) _m with unity. The following statements are proved.If a holomorphic linear connection ? on M _n over \(\mathbb{A}\) _m (m ≥ 2) is torsion-free and R ≠ 0, then the dimension over ? of the Lie algebra of all affine vector fields of the space (M _mn ^? , ?^?) is no greater than (mn)² ? 2mn + 5, where m = dim_? \(\mathbb{A}\), \(n = dim_\mathbb{A} \) M _n , and ?^? is the real realization of the connection ?.Let ?^? =¹ ? ײ ? be the real realization of a holomorphic linear connection ? over the algebra of double numbers. If the Weyl tensor W = 0 and the components of the curvature tensor ¹ R ≠ 0, ² R ≠ 0, then the Lie algebra of infinitesimal affine transformations of the space (M _2n ^? , ?^?) is isomorphic to the direct sum of the Lie algebras of infinitesimal affine transformations of the spaces ( ^a M _n , ^a ?) (a = 1, 2).     

On coset-spaces of compact Lie groups by subgroups of corank 2

Let G be a simple compact connected simply connected Lie group, H its connected Lie subgroup of corank 2 which coincides with the commutator group of the centralizer of a torus, and let Sam(G/H) = 0. We prove that if a compact connected simply connected Lie group G' acts transitively and locally effectively on the manifold G/H, then G' is isomorphic to G. if the root system of G consists of roots of the same length, then the action of G' on G/H is similar to the action of G.     

Co-Poisson structures on polynomial Hopf algebras

The Hopf dual H° of any Poisson Hopf algebra H is proved to be a co-Poisson Hopf algebra provided H is noetherian. Without noetherian assumption, unlike it is claimed in literature, the statement does not hold. It is proved that there is no nontrivial Poisson Hopf structure on the universal enveloping algebra of a non-abelian Lie algebra. So the polynomial Hopf algebra, viewed as the universal enveloping algebra of a finite-dimensional abelian Lie algebra, is considered. The Poisson Hopf structures on polynomial Hopf algebras are exactly linear Poisson structures. The co-Poisson structures on polynomial Hopf algebras are characterized. Some correspondences between co-Poisson and Poisson structures are also established.     

Classification of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension 9 with 2-dimensional center

A Lie algebra L is called 2-step nilpotent if L is not abelian and [L,L] lies in the center of L. 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras are useful in the study of some geometric problems, and their classification has been an important problem in Lie theory. In this paper, we give a classification of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension 9 with 2-dimensional center.
