Some Theorems on Leibniz Algebras

If U is a subnormal subalgebra of a finite-dimensional Leibniz algebra L and M is a finite-dimensional irreducible L-bimodule, then all U-bimodule composition factors of M are isomorphic. If U is a subnormal subalgebra of a finite-dimensional Leibniz algebra L, then the nilpotent residual of U is an ideal of L. Engel subalgebras of finite-dimensional Leibniz algebras are shown to have similar properties to those of Lie algebras. A subalgebra is shown to be a Cartan subalgebra if and only if it is minimal Engel, provided that the field has sufficiently many elements.     

Nondegenerate graded lie algebras with degenerate transitive subalgebras

The property of degeneration of modular graded Lie algebras, first investigated by B. Weisfeiler is analyzed. Transitive irreducible graded Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 2 with classical reductive component L ₀ are considered. We show that if a nondegenerate Lie algebra L containes a transitive degenerate subalgebra L′such that dim L′₁ > 1, then L is an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra.

On Auslander-Reiten Quivers of Enveloping Algebras of Restricted Lie Algebras

Let (L, [p]) be a finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p ≥ 3, X ∈ L* a linear form. In this article we study the Auslander-Reiten quivers of certain blocks of the reduced enveloping algebra u(L,x). In particular, it is shown that the enveloping algebras of supersolvable Lie algebras do not possess AR-components of Euclidean type.     

Locally finite dimensional lie algebras and their derivation algebras

The derivation algebras of all locally finite dimensional locally simple Lie algebras over a field of characteristic 0 are determined. Every locally finite dimensional Lie algebra of countable dimension is a subalgebra of the outer derivation algebra outder (ℒ) for every Lie algebra ℒ, which is the direct limit of diagonally embedded classical Lie algebras. These outer derivation algebras have dimension ℒ and are never locally finite dimensional. Dedicated to Prof. H. Petersson on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

Local systems in simple finitary lie algebras

A Lie subalgebra L of gl_k(V) is said to be finitary if it consists of elements of finite rank. We show that every simple finitary Lie algebra over a field of characteristic ≠2, 3, 5, 7 has a local system consisting of perfect central extensions of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras.     

Heisenberg Lie Color Algebras

In this article, we give a sufficient condition for a Lie color algebra to be complete. The color derivation algebra Der(?) and the holomorph L of finite dimensional Heisenberg Lie color algebra ? graded by a torsion-free abelian group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero are determined. We prove that Der(?) and Der(L) are simple complete Lie color algebras, but L is not a complete Lie color algebra.     

On Strongly Inert Subalgebras of an Infinite-Dimensional Lie Algebra

We study infinite-dimensional Lie algebras L over an arbitrary field that contain a subalgebra A such that dim(A + [A, L])/A < . We prove that if an algebra L is locally finite, then the subalgebra A is contained in a certain ideal I of the Lie algebra L such that dimI/A <. We show that the condition of local finiteness of L is essential in this statement.     

Nilpotent Lie Algebras with a Small Second Derived Quotient 1

Here we find the structure of nilpotent Lie algebras L with dim(L′/L″) = 3 and L″ ≠ 0. Following the pattern of results of Csaba Schneider in p-groups, we show that L is the central direct sum of ideals H and U, where U is the direct sum of a generalized Heisenberg Lie algebra and an abelian Lie algebra. We then find over the complex numbers that H falls into one of fourteen isomorphism classes.     

Finite-Dimensional Subalgebras In Polynomial Lie Algebras Of Rank One

Let W _n ( \mathbb K {\mathbb K} ) be the Lie algebra of derivations of the polynomial algebra \mathbb K {\mathbb K} [X] := \mathbb K {\mathbb K} [x ₁,…,x _n ]over an algebraically closed field \mathbb K {\mathbb K} of characteristic zero. A subalgebra L í W_n(\mathbbK) L \subseteq {W_n}(\mathbb{K}) is called polynomial if it is a submodule of the \mathbb K {\mathbb K} [X]-module W _n ( \mathbb K {\mathbb K} ). We prove that the centralizer of every nonzero element in L is abelian, provided that L is of rank one. This fact allows one to classify finite-dimensional subalgebras in polynomial Lie algebras of rank one.     

On the integrability of hyperbolic systems of riccati-type equations

We consider equations of the form U_xy = U * U_x, where U(x, y) is a function taking values in an arbitrary finite-dimensional algebra T over the field ℂ. We show that every such equation can be naturally associated with two characteristic Lie algebras, L_x and L_y. We define the notion of a ℤ-graded Lie algebraB corresponding to a given equation. We prove that for every equation under consideration, the corresponding algebraB can be taken as a direct sum of the vector spaces L_x and L_y if we define the commutators of the elements from L_x and L_y by means of the zero-curvature relations. Assuming that the algebra T has no left ideals, we classify the equations of the specified type associated with the finite-dimensional characteristic Lie algebras L_x and L_y. All of these equations are Darboux-integrable. Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 113, No. 2, pp. 261–275, November, 1997.     

C-Ideals of Lie Algebras

A subalgebra B of a Lie algebra L is called a c-ideal of L if there is an ideal C of L such that L = B + C and B ∩ C ≤ B _L , where B _L is the largest ideal of L contained in B. This is analogous to the concept of c-normal subgroup, which has been studied by a number of authors. We obtain some properties of c-ideals and use them to give some characterisations of solvable and supersolvable Lie algebras. We also classify those Lie algebras in which every one-dimensional subalgebra is a c-ideal.     

Lie Algebra 𝔉-Normalizers are Intravariant

Let 𝔉 be a saturated formation of soluble Lie algebras. Let L be a soluble Lie algebra, and let U be an 𝔉-normalizer of L. Then U is intravariant in L.     

Free 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras and indecomposable representations

Given an algebraically closed field F of characteristic 0 and an F-vector space V, let L(V)?=?V⊕Λ²(V) denote the free 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra associated to V. In this paper, we classify all uniserial representations of the solvable Lie algebra 𝔤?=??x??L(V), where x acts on V via an arbitrary invertible Jordan block.     

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.     

Lie superalgebras whose enveloping algebras satisfy a non-matrix polynomial identity

Let L be a Lie superalgebra with its enveloping algebra U(L) over a field F. A polynomial identity is called non-matrix if it is not satisfied by the algebra of 2×2 matrices over F. We characterize L when U(L) satisfies a non-matrix polynomial identity. We also characterize L when U(L) is Lie solvable, Lie nilpotent, or Lie super-nilpotent.     

A class of nilpotent lie algebras

A p-filiform Lie algebra g is a nilpotent Lie algebra for which Goze’s invariant is (n–p,1,…,1). These Lie algebras are well known for P ≥ n-4n = dim(g). In this paper we describe the p-filiform Lie algebras, for p = n-5 and we gjive their classification when the derived subalgebra is maximal.
