The root system and the core of an extended affine Lie algebra

Extended affine Lie algebras are higher nullity generalizations of finite dimensional simple Lie algebras and affine Kac Moody Lie algebras. In this paper we completely describe the structure of the core modulo its centre and the root system for extended affine Lie algebras of type B_l (l 3 3) B_l (l\ge 3) , C_l (l 3 2) C_l (l \ge 2), F ₄ and G ₂ .     

Subloop incompatible Bol loops

We give a necessary modification of Proposition 1.18 in Nagy and Strambach (Loops in Group Theory and Lie Theory. de Gruyter Expositions in Mathematics Berlin, New York, 2002) and close the gap in the classification of differentiable Bol loops given in Figula (Manuscrp Math 121:367–385, 2006). Moreover, using the factorization of Lie groups we determine the simple differentiable proper Bol loops L having the direct product G ₁ × G ₂ of two groups with simple Lie algebras as the group topologically generated by their left translations such that the stabilizer of the identity element of L is the direct product H ₁ × H ₂ with H _i < G _i . Also if G ₁ = G ₂ = G is a simple permutation group containing a sharply transitive subgroup A, then an analogous construction yields a simple proper Bol loop. If A is cyclic and G is finite and primitive, then all such loops are classified.     

Irreducible Representations for the Baby Tits–Kantor–Koecher Algebra

The baby Tits–Kantor–Koecher (TKK) algebra constructed from the smallest (nonlattice) semilattice is related to the “smallest” extended affine Lie algebras other than the finite dimensional simple Lie algebras and the affine Kac–Moody algebras. In this article, we classify the finite dimensional irreducible representations for the baby TKK algebra. It turns out that such representations can be lifted from modules of direct sums of finitely many copies of the simple Lie algebra sp ₄(?).     

Constructions for Octonion and Exceptional Jordan Algebras

In this note we reverse theusual process of constructing the Lie algebras of types G ₂and F ₄ as algebras of derivations of the splitoctonions or the exceptional Jordan algebra and instead beginwith their Dynkin diagrams and then construct the algebras togetherwith an action of the Lie algebras and associated Chevalley groups.This is shown to be a variation on a general construction ofall standard modules for simple Lie algebras and it is well suitedfor use in computational algebra systems. All the structure constantswhich occur are integral and hence the construction specialisesto all fields, without restriction on the characteristic, avoidingthe usual problems with characteristics 2 and 3.     

Cohomology of Oriented Tree Diagram Lie Algebras

Xu introduced a family of root-tree-diagram nilpotent Lie algebras of differential operators, in connection with evolution partial differential equations. We generalized his notion to more general oriented tree diagrams. These algebras are natural analogues of the maximal nilpotent Lie subalgebras of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. In this article, we use Hodge Laplacian to study the cohomology of these Lie algebras. The “total rank conjecture” and “b ₂-conjecture” for the algebras are proved. Moreover, we find the generating functions of the Betti numbers by means of Young tableaux for the Lie algebras associated with certain tree diagrams of single branch point. By these functions and Euler–Poincaré principle, we obtain analogues of the denominator identity for finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. The result is a natural generalization of the Bott's classical result in the case of special linear Lie algebras.     

Group Gradings on G 2

In this article, we describe all group gradings by a finite abelian group Γ of a simple Lie algebra of type G ₂ over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic zero.     

New example of a variety of lie algebras with fractional exponent

It is shown that in the case of characteristic zero the variety generated by a simple infinitedimensional Lie algebra of Cartan type W ₂ has a fractional exponent.     

On Exponential Moments for Functionals Defined on the Loop Group

Abstract

We define the composition of a Schwartz distribution on a compact Lie group with the left‐invariant Brownian motion p _t , as a distribution on the Wiener–Lie space. In particular, the composition of p _t with the Dirac distribution will give an expression for the density of the law of p _t for t > 0. As an application, we get a simple condition for a functional F defined on the loop group in order to have exponential moments.     

Segal–Bargmann and Weyl transforms on compact Lie groups

We present an elementary derivation of the reproducing kernel for invariant Fock spaces associated with compact Lie groups which, as ólafsson and ?rsted showed in (Lie Theory and its Applicaitons in Physics. World Scientific, 1996), yields a simple proof of the unitarity of Hall’s Segal–Bargmann transform for compact Lie groups K. Further, we prove certain Hermite and character expansions for the heat and reproducing kernels on K and K_{\mathbb C}{K_{\mathbb C}} . Finally, we introduce a Toeplitz (or Wick) calculus as an attempt to have a quantization of the functions on K_{\mathbb C}{K_{\mathbb C}} as operators on the Hilbert space L ²(K).     

Polynomial Lie Algebras

We introduce and study a special class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras that are finite-dimensional modules over a ring of polynomials. The Lie algebras of this class are said to be polynomial. Some classification results are obtained. An associative co-algebra structure on the rings k[x ₁,...,x _n]/(f ₁,...,f _n) is introduced and, on its basis, an explicit expression for convolution matrices of invariants for isolated singularities of functions is found. The structure polynomials of moving frames defined by convolution matrices are constructed for simple singularities of the types A,B,C, D, and E ₆.     

Generators of Simple Lie Algebras and the Lower Rank of Some Pro-P Groups

Abstract

Let  be a simple classical Lie algebra over a field F of characteristic p > 7. We show that > d () = 2, where d() is the number of generators of . Let G be a profinite group. We say that G has lower rank ≤ l, if there are {G _α} open subgroups which from a base for the topology at the identity and each G _α is generated (topologically) by no more than l elements. There is a standard way to associate a Lie algebra L(G) to a finitely generated (filtered) pro-p group G. Suppose L(G) ?  ? tF _p [t], where  is a simple Lie algebra over F _p , the field of p elements. We show that the lower rank of G is ≤ d () + 1. We also show that if  is simple classical of rank r and p > 7 or p 2r ² ? r, then the lower rank is actually 2.     

Compact Exceptional Simple Kantor Triple Systems Defined on Tensor Products of Composition Algebras∗

In this article we give the classification of compact exceptional simple Kantor triple systems defined on tensor products of composition algebras A =  ₁?  ₂ such that their Kantor algebras ?(φ, A) are real forms of exceptional simple Lie algebras.     

On the Simplicity of Lie Algebras Associated to Leavitt Algebras

For any field 𝕂 and integer n ≥ 2, we consider the Leavitt algebra L _𝕂(n); for any integer d ≥ 1, we form the matrix ring S = M _d (L _𝕂(n)). S is an associative algebra, but we view S as a Lie algebra using the bracket [a, b] = ab ? ba for a, b ∈ S. We denote this Lie algebra as S ^?, and consider its Lie subalgebra [S ^?, S ^?]. In our main result, we show that [S ^?, S ^?] is a simple Lie algebra if and only if char(𝕂) divides n ? 1 and char(𝕂) does not divide d. In particular, when d = 1, we get that [L _𝕂(n)^?, L _𝕂(n)^?] is a simple Lie algebra if and only if char(𝕂) divides n ? 1.     

Parafermion vertex operator algebras

This paper reviews some recent results on the parafermion vertex operator algebra associated to the integrable highest weight module L(k, 0) of positive integer level k for any affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra ĝ, where g is a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra. In particular, the generators and the C ₂-cofiniteness of the parafermion vertex operator algebras are discussed. A proof of the well-known fact that the parafermion vertex operator algebra can be realized as the commutant of a lattice vertex operator algebra in L(k, 0) is also given.     

Generalized Whittaker vectors for holomorphic and quaternionic representations

The conjugacy class of parabolic subgroups with Heisenberg unipotent radical in a simple Lie groups over ³ not of type C_nC_{n} contains an element defined over  for each quaternionic real form. In this paper we study the Whittaker models for quaternionic discrete series of these real forms and prove results analogous and by analogous methods to the case of simple Lie groups over  that are the automorphism groups of tube type Hermitian symmetric domain and (so-called Bessel models) for holomorphic representations. In particular we calculate the decomposition of the space of Whittaker vectors under the action of the stabilizer of the corresponding character in a Levi factor of the Heisenberg parabolic subgroup.     

Lie ideals of graded associative algebras

We study the Lie structure of graded associative algebras. Essentially, we analyze the relation between Lie and associative graded ideals, and between Lie and associative graded derivations. Gathering together results on both directions, we compute maximal graded algebras of quotients of graded Lie algebras that arise from associative algebras. We also show that the Lie algebra Der _gr (A) of graded derivations of a graded semiprime associative algebra is strongly non-degenerate (modulo a certain ideal containing the center of Der _gr (A)).     

Partial differential equation approach to F 4

Singular vectors of a representation of a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra are weight vectors in the underlying module that are nullified by positive root vectors. In this article, we use partial differential equations to explicitly find all the singular vectors of the polynomial representation of the simple Lie algebra of type F ₄ over its 26-dimensional basic irreducible module, which also supplements a proof of the completeness of Brion’s abstractly described generators. Moreover, we show that the number of irreducible submodules contained in the space of homogeneous harmonic polynomials with degree k ⩾ 2 is greater than or equal to 〚k/3〛 + 〚(k − 2)/3〛 + 2.     

Application of a semi-direct sum of Lie algebras to the TD hierarchy

We construct a Lie algebra G by using a semi-direct sum of Lie algebra G₁ with Lie algebra G₂. A direct application to the TD hierarchy leads to a novel hierarchy of integrable couplings of the TD hierarchy. Furthermore, the generalized variational identity is applied to Lie algebra G to obtain quasi-Hamiltonian structures of the associated integrable couplings.     

Products of projective S-Systems

The tree main results of this paper deal with the generating vectors of simple infinite and finite dimesional modules arising as composition factors of the Kac modules K↓ G ₀ and K of the Lie superalgebra sl(m/n).
