On Behavior of Solvable Ideals of Lie Algebras Under Outer Derivations

Let L be a finite dimensional Lie algebra over a field F. It is well known that the solvable radical S(L) of the algebra L is a characteristic ideal of L if char F = 0, and there are counterexamples to this statement in case char F = p > 0. We prove that the sum S(L) of all solvable ideals of a Lie algebra L (not necessarily finite dimensional) is a characteristic ideal of L in the following cases: 1) char F = 0; 2) S(L) is solvable and its derived length is less than log₂ p.     

Commuting Derivations and Automorphisms of Certain Nilpotent Lie Algebras Over Commutative Rings

Let L be a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra, L _? be the ?-span of a Chevalley basis of L, and L _R  = R ?_? L _? be a Chevalley algebra of type L over a commutative ring R. Let 𝒩(R) be the nilpotent subalgebra of L _R spanned by the root vectors associated with positive roots. A map ? of 𝒩(R) is called commuting if [?(x), x] = 0 for all x ∈ 𝒩(R). In this article, we prove that under some conditions for R, if Φ is not of type A ₂, then a derivation (resp., an automorphism) of 𝒩(R) is commuting if and only if it is a central derivation (resp., automorphism), and if Φ is of type A ₂, then a derivation (resp., an automorphism) of 𝒩(R) is commuting if and only if it is a sum (resp., a product) of a graded diagonal derivation (resp., automorphism) and a central derivation (resp., automorphism).     

Vertex Poisson Algebras Associated with Courant Algebroids

We study relationships between vertex Poisson algebras and Courant algebroids. For any ?-graded vertex Poisson algebra A = ? _n∈? A _(n), we show that A ₍₁₎ is a Courant A ₍₀₎-algebroid. On the other hand, for any Courant 𝒜-algebroid ?, we construct an ?-graded vertex Poisson algebra A = ? _n∈? A _(n) such that A ₍₀₎ is 𝒜 and the Courant 𝒜-algebroid A ₍₁₎ is isomorphic to ? as a Courant 𝒜-algebroid.     

Relatively Free Nilpotent Torsion-Free Groups and Their Lie Algebras

Let K be a field of characteristic zero. For a torsion-free finitely generated nilpotent group G, we naturally associate four finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras over K, ? _K (G), grad^(?)(? _K (G)), grad^(g)(exp ? _K (G)), and L _K (G). Let 𝔗 _c be a torsion-free variety of nilpotent groups of class at most c. For a positive integer n, with n ≥ 2, let F _n (𝔗 _c ) be the relatively free group of rank n in 𝔗 _c . We prove that ? _K (F _n (𝔗 _c )) is relatively free in some variety of nilpotent Lie algebras, and ? _K (F _n (𝔗 _c )) ? L _K (F _n (𝔗 _c )) ? grad^(?)(? _K (F _n (𝔗 _c ))) ? grad^(g)(exp ? _K (F _n (𝔗 _c ))) as Lie algebras in a natural way. Furthermore, F _n (𝔗 _c ) is a Magnus nilpotent group. Let G ₁ and G ₂ be torsion-free finitely generated nilpotent groups which are quasi-isometric. We prove that if G ₁ and G ₂ are relatively free of finite rank, then they are isomorphic. Let L be a relatively free nilpotent Lie algebra over ? of finite rank freely generated by a set X. Give on L the structure of a group R, say, by means of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula, and let H be the subgroup of R generated by the set X. We show that H is relatively free in some variety of nilpotent groups; freely generated by the set X, H is Magnus and L ? ?_?(H) ? L _?(H) as Lie algebras. For relatively free residually torsion-free nilpotent groups, we prove that ? _K and L _K are isomorphic as Lie algebras. We also give an example of a finitely generated Magnus nilpotent group G, not relatively free, such that ?_?(G) is not isomorphic to L _?(G) as Lie algebras.     

Nilpotent Ideals in Graded Lie Algebras and Almost Constant-Free Derivations

It is proved that if a (?/p ?)-graded Lie algebra L, where p is a prime, has exactly d nontrivial grading components and dim L ₀ = m, then L has a nilpotent ideal of d-bounded nilpotency class and of finite (m,d)-bounded codimension. As a consequence, Jacobson's theorem on constant-free nilpotent Lie algebras of derivations is generalized to the almost constant-free case. Another application is for Lie algebras with almost fixed-point-free automorphisms.     

A Note on Semigroup Algebras of Permutable Semigroups

Let S be a semigroup and 𝔽 be a field. For an ideal J of the semigroup algebra 𝔽[S] of S over 𝔽, let ?_J denote the restriction (to S) of the congruence on 𝔽[S] defined by the ideal J. A semigroup S is called a permutable semigroup if α ○ β = β ○ α is satisfied for all congruences α and β of S. In this paper we show that if S is a semilattice or a rectangular band then φ_{{S; 𝔽}}: J → ?_J is a homomorphism of the semigroup (Con(𝔽[S]); ○ ) into the relation semigroup (?_S; ○ ) if and only if S is a permutable semigroup.     

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 Results for Decomposition Numbers for the Hecke Algebra of Type A with q = −1

Let ? = ?_{?, ?1}(𝔖 _n ) be the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group 𝔖 _n . For partitions λ and ν with ν 2 ? regular, define the Specht module S(λ) and the irreducible module D(ν). Define d _λν = [S(λ): D(ν)] to be the composition multiplicity of D(ν) in S(λ). In this paper we compute the decomposition numbers d _λν for all partitions of the form λ = (a, c, 1 ^b ) and ν 2 ? regular.     

On Derived Equivalences for Selfinjective Algebras

We show that if A is a representation-finite selfinjective Artin algebra, then every P ^? ? K ^b(𝒫 _A ) with Hom _K(Mod?A)(P ^?,P ^?[i]) = 0 for i ≠ 0 and add(P ^?) = add(νP ^?) is a direct summand of a tilting complex, and that if A, B are derived equivalent representation-finite selfinjective Artin algebras, then there exists a sequence of selfinjective Artin algebras A = B ₀, B ₁,…, B _m  = B such that, for any 0 ≤ i < m, B _i+1 is the endomorphism algebra of a tilting complex for B _i of length ≤ 1.     

Hopf-Type Algebras

In this article, we provide an alternative approach to the definition of a weak Hopf algebra (WHA). For an associative unital algebra A with a coassociative comultiplication Δ ∈Alg ^u (A, A ? A), the set of homomorphisms from A to A ? A, which do not preserve the units. If the linear maps Ξ₁, Ξ₂ ∈ End(A ? A), defined by Ξ₁(a ? b) = Δ(a)(1 ? b), Ξ₂(a ? b) = (a ? 1)Δ(b), are von Neumann regular elements in the ring End(A ? A) of endomorphisms of A ? A satisfying some appropriate assumptions, we call the A a Hopf-type algebra. We show the existence of a target, a source, a counit, and an antipode of A as in the usual WHA.     

Orthogonal Groups 𝒪(n) over GF(2) as Automorphisms

Let (V, Q) be a quadratic vector space over a fixed field. Orthogonal group 𝒪(V, Q) is defined as automorphisms on (V, Q). If Q = I, it is 𝒪(V, I) = 𝒪(n). There is a nice result that 𝒪(n) ? Aut(𝔬(n)) over ? or ?, where 𝔬(n) is the Lie algebra of n × n alternating matrices over the field. How about another field The answer is “Yes” if it is GF(2). We show it explicitly with the combinatorial basis ?. This is a verification of Steinberg's main result in 1961, that is, Aut(𝔬(n)) is simple over the square field, with a nonsimple exception Aut(𝔬(5)) ? 𝒪(5) ? 𝔖₆.     

Automorphisms of Relatively Free Nilpotent Lie Algebras

Let L be a relatively free nilpotent Lie algebra over ? of rank n and class c, with n ≥ 2; freely generated by a set 𝒵. Give L the structure of a group, denoted by R, by means of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula. Let G be the subgroup of R generated by the set 𝒵 and N _Aut(L)(G) the normalizer in Aut(L) of the set G. We prove that the automorphism group of L is generated by GL _n (?) and N _Aut(L)(G). Let H be a subgroup of finite index in Aut(G) generated by the tame automorphisms and a finite subset X of IA-automorphisms with cardinal s. We construct a set Y consisting of s + 1 IA-automorphisms of L such that Aut(L) is generated by GL _n (?) and Y. We apply this particular method to construct generating sets for the automorphism groups of certain relatively free nilpotent Lie algebras.     

Simplicity of the Lie Algebra of Skew Symmetric Elements of a Leavitt Path Algebra

For a field F of characteristic not 2 and a directed row-finite graph Γ let L(Γ) be the Leavitt Path Algebra with standard involution *. We study the lie algebra of K = K(L(Γ), *) of * ?skew-symmetric elements and find necessary and sufficient conditions for the Lie algebra [K, K] to be simple.     

Class Partition Algebras as Centralizer Algebras of Wreath Products

In this article, we study an important subalgebra of the tensor product partition algebra P _k (x)? P _k (y), denoted by P _k (x, y) and called “Class Partition Algebra.” We show that the algebra P _k (n, m) is the centralizer algebra of the wreath product S _m ? S _n . Furthermore, the algebra P _k (x, y) and the tensor product partition algebra P _k (x)? P _k (y) are subalgebras of the G-colored partition algebra P _k (x;G) and G-vertex colored partition algebra P _k (x, G) respectively, for every group G with |G|=y ≥ 2k.     

Derivation Simple Color Algebras and Semisimple Lie Color Algebras

Let K be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic and Γ an abelian multiplicative group equipped with a bicharacter ε: Γ × Γ → K*. It is proved that, for any finite-dimensional derivation simple color algebra A over K, there exists a simple color algebra S and a color vector space V such that A? S? S^ε(V), where S^ε(V) is the ε-symmetric algebra of V. As an application of this result, a necessary and sufficient condition such that a Lie color algebra is semisimple is obtained.     

Preprojective Cluster Variables of Acyclic Cluster Algebras

It is proved that any cluster-tilted algebra defined in the cluster category 𝒞(H) has the same representation type as the initial hereditary algebra H. For any valued quiver (Γ, Ω), an injection from the subset 𝒫?(Ω) of the cluster category 𝒞(Ω) consisting of indecomposable preprojective objects, preinjective objects, and the first shifts of indecomposable projective modules to the set of cluster variables of the corresponding cluster algebra 𝒜_Ω is given. The images are called “preprojective cluster variables”. It is proved that all preprojective cluster variables other than u_i have denominators u ^dim M in their irreducible fractions of integral polynomials, where M is the corresponding preprojective module or preinjective module. In case the valued quiver (Γ, Ω) is of finite type, the denominator theorem holds with respect to any cluster. Namely, let x = (x₁,…, x_n) be a cluster of the cluster algebra 𝒜_Ω, and V the cluster tilting object in 𝒞(Ω) corresponding to x, whose endomorphism algebra is denoted by Λ. Then the denominator of any cluster variable y other than x_i is x ^dim M, where M is the indecomposable Λ-module corresponding to y. This result is a generalization of the corresponding result of Caldero–Chapoton–Schiffler to the non-simply-laced case.     

Automorphisms and Derivations of Certain Solvable Lie Algebras Over Commutative Rings

Let L be a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra, L _? be the ?-span of a Chevalley basis of L, and L _R  = R ?_? L _? be a Chevalley algebra of type L over a commutative ring R with identity. Let ?(R) be the solvable subalgebra of L _R spanned by the basis elements of the maximal toral subalgebra and the root vectors associated with positive roots. In this article, we prove that under some conditions for R, any automorphism of ?(R) is uniquely decomposed as a product of a graph automorphism, a diagonal automorphism and an inner automorphism, and any derivation of ?(R) is uniquely decomposed as a sum of an inner derivation induced by root vectors and a diagonal derivation. Correspondingly, the automorphism group and the derivation algebra of ?(R) are determined.
