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.     

Twisted Hamiltonian Lie algebras and their multiplicity-free representations

We construct a class of new Lie algebras by generalizing the one-variable Lie algebras generated by the quadratic conformal algebras (or corresponding Hamiltonian operators) associated with Poisson algebras and a quasi-derivation found by Xu. These algebras can be viewed as certain twists of Xu’s generalized Hamiltonian Lie algebras. The simplicity of these algebras is completely determined. Moreover, we construct a family of multiplicity-free representations of these Lie algebras and prove their irreducibility.

The socle of a nondegenerate Lie algebra

We define the socle of a nondegenerate Lie algebra as the sum of all its minimal inner ideals. The socle turns out to be an ideal which is a direct sum of simple ideals, and satisfies the descending chain condition on principal inner ideals. Every classical finite dimensional Lie algebra coincides with its socle, while relevant examples of infinite dimensional Lie algebras with nonzero socle are the simple finitary Lie algebras and the classical Banach Lie algebras of compact operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. This notion of socle for Lie algebras is compatible with the previous ones for associative algebras and Jordan systems. We conclude with a structure theorem for simple nondegenerate Lie algebras containing abelian minimal inner ideals, and as a consequence we obtain that a simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 is finitary if and only if it is nondegenerate and contains a rank-one element.     

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.     

Multiplicative Lie algebras and Schur multiplier

In this paper, we attempt to study the structure of multiplicative Lie algebras, the theory of extensions, the second cohomology groups of multiplicative Lie algebras, and in turn the Schur multipliers. The Schur–Hopf formula is established for multiplicative Lie algebras. We also introduce the group of nontrivial relations satisfied by the Lie product in a multiplicative Lie algebra, and study it as a functor arising from the presentations of multiplicative Lie algebras. Some applications in K-theory are also discussed.     

Beyond Borcherds Lie algebras and inside

We give a definition for a new class of Lie algebras by generators and relations which simultaneously generalize the Borcherds Lie algebras and the Slodowy G.I.M. Lie algebras. After proving these algebras are always subalgebras of Borcherds Lie algebras, as well as some other basic properties, we give a vertex operator representation for a factor of them. We need to develop a highly non-trivial generalization of the square length two cut off theorem of Goddard and Olive to do this.

     

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.     

COMPLETE LIE ALGEBRAS WITH l-STEP NILPOTENT RADICALS

The authors first give a necessary and sufficient condition for some solvable Lie algebras with l-step nilpotent radicals to be complete, and then construct a new class of infinite dimensional complete Lie algebras by using the modules of simple Lie algebras. The quotient algebras of this new constructed Lie algebras are non-solvable complete Lie algebras with l-step nilpotent radicals.     

Hom-Lie algebra structures on semi-simple Lie algebras

Hom-Lie algebras can be considered as a deformation of Lie algebras. In this note, we prove that the hom-Lie algebra structures on finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras are trivial. We find when a finite-dimensional semi-simple Lie algebra admits non-trivial hom-Lie algebra structures and the isomorphic classes of non-trivial hom-Lie algebras are determined.

Locally Vacant Double Lie Groupoids and the Integration of Matched Pairs of Lie Algebroids

We prove a general integrability result for matched pairs of Lie algebroids. (Matched pairs of Lie algebras are also known as double Lie algebras or twilled extensions of Lie algebras.) The method used is an extension of a method introduced by Lu and Weinstein in the case of Poisson Lie groups, and yields double groupoids which satisfy an étale form of the vacancy condition.     

Bases, filtrations and module decompositions of free Lie algebras

We use the technique known as elimination to devise some new bases of the free Lie algebra which (like classical Hall bases) consist of Lie products of left normed basic Lie monomials. Our bases yield direct decompositions of the homogeneous components of the free Lie algebra with direct summands that are particularly easy to describe: they are tensor products of metabelian Lie powers. They also give rise to new filtrations and decompositions of free Lie algebras as modules for groups of graded algebra automorphisms. In particular, we obtain some new decompositions for free Lie algebras and free restricted Lie algebras over fields of positive characteristic.     

Generalized Lie Algebras and Cocycle Twists

We use the results of Etingof and Gelaki on the classification of (co)triangular Hopf algebras to extend Scheunert's “discoloration” technique to Lie algebras in the category of (co)modules. As an application, we prove a PBW-type theorem for such Lie algebras. We also discuss the relationship between Lie algebras in the category of (co)modules and symmetric braided Lie algebras introduced by Gurevich. Finally, we construct examples of symmetric braided Lie algebras that are essentially different from Lie coloralgebras.     

Flat Nonunimodular Lorentzian Lie Algebras

A flat Lorentzian Lie algebra is a left symmetric algebra endowed with a symmetric bilinear form of signature (?, +,…, +) such that left multiplications are skew-symmetric. In geometrical terms, a flat Lorentzian Lie algebra is the Lie algebra of a Lie group with a left-invariant Lorentzian metric with vanishing curvature. In this article, we show that any flat nonunimodular Lorentzian Lie algebras can be obtained as a double extension of flat Riemannian Lie algebras. As an application, we give all flat nonunimodular Lorentzian Lie algebras up to dimension 4.     

Zur konstruktion von Lie-Algebren aus Jordan-Tripelsystemen

In this paper we study certain Lie algebras which are constructed from the (-1)-eigenspaees of an involution of a Jordan algebra. The construction is a generalisation of the Koecher-Tits-construction. We give necessary conditions in terms of the Jordan algebras for the Lie algebras being simple. If the (-1)-spaces are Peirce-1/2-components then we obtain a close relation between the Lie algebras under consideration and the structure algebras of Jordan algebras. We finally give a list of those types of simple Lie algebras which can be formed by this construction; among them are Lie algebras of type E₆ and E₇.Of fundamental importance for our considerations is a close connection between the constructed Lie algebras and the standard imbeddings of Lie triple systems.     

Geometric invariants for nilpotent metric Lie algebras with applications to moduli spaces of nilsoliton metrics

We present new tools for determining whether two nilpotent metric Lie algebras are in the same isometry class. We exhibit new examples of continuous families of nilsoliton metric Lie algebras, including deformations of uniform metric Lie algebras. We show that all algebras of generalized Heisenberg type except for Heisenberg algebras and two others admit deformations by nilsoliton metric Lie algebras.     

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.
