Graded extended Lie-type algebras

The class of extended Lie-type algebras contains the ones of associative algebras, Lie algebras, Leibniz algebras, dual Leibniz algebras, pre-Lie algebras, and Lie-type algebras, etc. We focus on the class of extended Lie-type algebras graded by an Abelian group G and study its structure, by stating, under certain conditions, a second Wedderburn-type theorem for this class of algebras.     

On Universal Central Extensions of Leibniz Algebras

We construct the endofunctor 𝔲𝔠𝔢 between the category of Leibniz algebras which assigns to a perfect Leibniz algebra its universal central extension, and we obtain the isomorphism 𝔲𝔠𝔢_Lie(𝔮_Lie) ? (𝔲𝔠𝔢_Leib(𝔮))_Lie, where 𝔮 is a perfect Leibniz algebra satisfying the condition [x, [x, y]] + [[x, y], x] = 0, for all x, y ∈ 𝔮. Moreover, we obtain several results concerning the lifting of automorphisms and derivations in a covering. We also study the relationship between the universal central extension of a semidirect product of perfect Leibniz algebras and the semidirect product of the universal central extension of both of them.     

Some notes on the second homology of Leibniz algebras

Some properties of the second homology and cover of Leibniz algebras are established. By constructing a stem cover, the second Leibniz homology and cover of abelian, Heisenberg Lie algebras and cyclic Leibniz algebras are described. Also, for the dimension of a non-cyclic nilpotent Leibniz algebra L, we obtain dim(HL₂(L))≥2.     

Leibniz algebras with pseudo-Riemannian bilinear forms

M. Bordemann has studied non-associative algebras with nondegenerate associative bilinear forms. In this paper, we focus on pseudo-Riemannian bilinear forms and study pseudo-Riemannian Leibniz algebras, i.e., Leibniz algebras with pseudo-Riemannian non-degenerate symmetric bilinear forms. We give the notion and some properties of T*-extensions of Leibniz algebras. In addition, we introduce the definition of equivalence and isometrical equivalence for two T*-extensions of a Leibniz algebra, and give a sufficient and necessary condition for the equivalence and isometrical equivalence.     

On the toroidal Leibniz algebras

Toroidal Leibniz algebras are the universal central extensions of the iterated loop algebras g×C[t1^±1,...,tv^±1] in the category of Leibniz algebras. In this paper, some properties and representations of toroidal Leibniz algebras are studied. Some general theories of central extensions of Leibniz algebras are also obtained.     

The Classification of Naturally Graded p-Filiform Leibniz Algebras

In the present article the classification of n-dimensional naturally graded p-filiform (1 ≤ p ≤ n ? 4) Leibniz algebras is obtained. A splitting of the set of naturally graded Leibniz algebras into the families of Lie and non Lie Leibniz algebras by means of characteristic sequences (isomorphism invariants) is proved.     

Solvable Leibniz algebras with naturally graded non-Lie p-filiform nilradicals

In this paper solvable Leibniz algebras with naturally graded non-Lie p-filiform (n?p≥4) nilradical and with one-dimensional complemented space of nilradical are described. Moreover, solvable Leibniz algebras with abelian nilradical and extremal (minimal, maximal) dimensions of complemented space nilradical are studied. The rigidity of solvable Leibniz algebras with abelian nilradical and maximal dimension of its complemented space is proved.     

Non-abelian Tensor Product of Leibniz Algebras and an Exact Sequence in Leibniz Homology

Abstract

Let 𝔪 and 𝔫 be two-sided ideals of a Leibniz algebra 𝔤 such that 𝔤 = 𝔪 + 𝔫. The goal of the paper is to achieve the exact sequence Ker(𝔪  𝔫 + 𝔫  𝔪 → 𝔤) → HL ₂(𝔤) → HL ₂(𝔤/𝔪) ⊕ HL ₂(𝔤/𝔫) → 𝔪 ∩ 𝔫/ [𝔪,𝔫] → HL ₁(𝔤) → HL ₁(𝔤/𝔪) ⊕ HL ₁(𝔤/𝔫) → 0, where HL denotes the Leibniz homology with trivial coefficients of a Leibniz algebra and denotes a non-abelian tensor product of Leibniz algebras.     

Conformal representations of Leibniz algebras

We study the embedding construction of Lie dialgebras (Leibniz algebras) into conformal algebras. This construction leads to the concept of a conformal representation of Leibniz algebras. We prove that each (finite-dimensional) Leibniz algebra possesses a faithful linear representation (of finite type). As a corollary we give a new proof of the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem for Leibniz algebras.     

Right and left solvable extensions of an associative Leibniz algebra

A sequence of nilpotent Leibniz algebras denoted by N_n,18 is introduced. Here n denotes the dimension of the algebra defined for n≥4; the first term in the sequence is ?₁₈ in the list of four-dimensional nilpotent Leibniz algebras introduced by Albeverio et al. [4 Albeverio, S., Omirov, B. A., Rakhimov, I. S. (2006). Classification of 4-dimensional nilpotent complex Leibniz algebras. Extr. Math. 21(3):197–210. [Google Scholar]]. Then all possible right and left solvable indecomposable extensions over the field ? are constructed so that N_n,18 serves as the nilradical of the corresponding solvable algebras. The construction continues Winternitz’ and colleagues’ program established to classify solvable Lie algebras using special properties rather than trying to extend one dimension at a time.     

Leibniz Central Extensions on Some Infinite-Dimensional Lie Algebras

Abstract

In this paper, all one-dimensional Leibniz central extensions on the algebras of differential operators over C[t, t ^?1] and C((t)), as well as on the quantum 2-torus, the Virasoro-like algebra and its q-analog are studied. We determine all nontrivial Leibniz 2-cocycles on these infinite dimensional Lie algebras.     

Leibniz algebras constructed by Witt algebras

ABSTRACT

We describe infinite-dimensional Leibniz algebras whose associated Lie algebra is the Witt algebra and we prove the triviality of low-dimensional Leibniz cohomology groups of the Witt algebra with the coefficients in itself.     

Solvable extensions of naturally graded quasi-filiform Leibniz algebras of second type ℒ1 and ℒ3

For sequences of naturally graded quasi-filiform Leibniz algebras of second type ?¹ and ?³ introduced by Camacho et al., all possible right and left solvable indecomposable extensions over the field ? are constructed so that these algebras serve as the nilradicals of the corresponding solvable algebras. The construction continues Winternitz’ and colleagues’ program established to classify solvable Lie algebras using special properties rather than trying to extend one dimension at a time.     

On Solvability and Nilpotency of Leibniz n-Algebras

The concepts of solvable and nilpotent Leibniz n-algebra are introduced, and classical results of solvable and nilpotent Lie algebras theory are extended to Leibniz n-algebras category. A homological criterion similar to Stallings Theorem for Lie algebras is obtained in Leibniz n-algebras category by means of the homology with trivial coefficients of Leibniz n-algebras.     

Second Homology Groups and Universal Coverings of Steinberg Leibniz Algebras of Small Characteristic

It is known that the second Leibniz homology group HL ₂ (𝔰𝔱𝔩 _n (R)) of the Steinberg Leibniz algebra 𝔰𝔱𝔩 _n (R) is trivial for n ≥ 5. In this article, we determine HL ₂(𝔰𝔱𝔩 _n (R)) explicitly (which are shown to be not necessarily trivial) for n = 3, 4 without any assumption on the base ring.     

3-Filiform Leibniz algebras of maximum length,whose naturally graded algebras are Lie algebras

In this article we present the classification of the 3-filiform Leibniz algebras of maximum length, whose associated naturally graded algebras are Lie algebras. Our main tools are a previous existence result by Cabezas and Pastor [J.M. Cabezas and E. Pastor, Naturally graded p-filiform Lie algebras in arbitrary finite dimension, J. Lie Theory 15 (2005), pp. 379–391] and the construction of appropriate homogeneous bases in the connected gradation considered. This is a continuation of the work done in Ref. [J.M. Cabezas, L.M. Camacho, and I.M. Rodríguez, On filiform and 2-filiform Leibniz algebras of maximum length, J. Lie Theory 18 (2008), pp. 335–350].     

Poisson color algebras of arbitrary degree

A Poisson algebra is a Lie algebra endowed with a commutative associative product in such a way that the Lie and associative products are compatible via a Leibniz rule. If we part from a Lie color algebra, instead of a Lie algebra, a graded-commutative associative product and a graded-version Leibniz rule we get a so-called Poisson color algebra (of degree zero). This concept can be extended to any degree, so as to obtain the class of Poisson color algebras of arbitrary degree. This class turns out to be a wide class of algebras containing the ones of Lie color algebras (and so Lie superalgebras and Lie algebras), Poisson algebras, graded Poisson algebras, z-Poisson algebras, Gerstenhaber algebras, and Schouten algebras among other classes of algebras. The present paper is devoted to the study of structure of Poisson color algebras of degree g₀, where g₀ is some element of the grading group G such that g₀ = 0 or 4g₀≠0, and with restrictions neither on the dimension nor the base field, by stating a second Wedderburn-type theorem for this class of algebras.     

On Jordan-Nilalgebras of Index 3

We study commutative algebras that satisfy the Jacobi identity. Such algebras are Jordan algebras. We describe some of their properties and give a new bound of the index of nilpotency. We prove that every commutative nilalgebra of nilindex 3 generated by k elements over a field of characteristic ≠ 2, 3 is nilpotent of index less than or equal to k + 5.
