Exponential actions and maximal ?-invariant ideals

Let V be an exponential ?-module, ? being an exponential Lie algebra. Put ? = exp ?. Then every orbit of V under the action of ? admits a closed orbit in its closure. If G= exp ? is a nilpotent Lie group and ? an exponential algebra of derivations of ?, then ? = exp ? acts on G, L ¹(G), (?) and the maximal ?-invariant ideals of L ¹(G), resp. of (?) coincide with the kernels Ker Ω, resp. Ker Ω∩ (?), where Ω is a closed orbit of ?^*. Received: 6 December 1996 / Revised version: 7 December 1997     

The centralizer of an element in a Lie algebra of type <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>

In this paper, we investigate the Lie algebra L(A,α,δ) of type L and obtain the respective sufficient conditions for L(A,α,δ δ to be semisimple, and for Z(ω) = Fω as well, where 0 ≠ ω Є L(A, α, δ, δ) and Z(ω) is the centralizer of ω.     

On the Oka principle in a Banach space,II

 Let X be one of the Banach spaces c ₀ , ℓ _p , 1≤p<∞; Ω⊂X pseudoconvex open, a holomorphic Banach vector bundle with a Banach Lie group G ^* for structure group. We show that a suitable Runge-type approximation hypothesis on X, G ^* (which we also prove for G ^* a solvable Lie group) implies the vanishing of the sheaf cohomology groups H ^q (Ω, 𝒪 ^E ), q≥1, with coefficients in the sheaf of germs of holomorphic sections of E. Further, letting 𝒪^Γ (𝒞^Γ) be the sheaf of germs of holomorphic (continuous) sections of a Banach Lie group bundle Γ→Ω with Banach Lie groups G, G ^* for fiber group and structure group, we show that a suitable Runge-type approximation hypothesis on X, G, G ^* (which we prove again for G, G ^* solvable Lie groups) implies the injectivity (and for X=ℓ₁ also the surjectivity) of the Grauert–Oka map H ¹ (Ω, 𝒪^Γ)→H ¹ (Ω, 𝒞^Γ) of multiplicative cohomology sets.

On 𝒪ℒ∞ structures of nuclear C * -algebras

 We study the local operator space structure of nuclear C ^* -algebras. It is shown that a C ^* -algebra is nuclear if and only if it is an 𝒪ℒ_∞,λ space for some (and actually for every) λ>6. The 𝒪ℒ_∞ constant λ provides an interesting invariant

Multipliers of weighted semigroups and associated Beurling Banach algebras

Given a weighted discrete abelian semigroup (S, ω), the semigroup M _ω (S) of ω-bounded multipliers as well as the Rees quotient M _ω (S)/S together with their respective weights [(w)\tilde]\tilde{\omega} and [(w)\tilde]_q\tilde{\omega}_q induced by ω are studied; for a large class of weights ω, the quotient l¹(M_w(S),[(w)\tilde])/l¹(S,w)\ell^1(M_{\omega}(S),\tilde{\omega})/\ell^1(S,{\omega}) is realized as a Beurling algebra on the quotient semigroup M _ω (S)/S; the Gel’fand spaces of these algebras are determined; and Banach algebra properties like semisimplicity, uniqueness of uniform norm and regularity of associated Beurling algebras on these semigroups are investigated. The involutive analogues of these are also considered. The results are exhibited in the context of several examples.     

Central extensions of current groups

 In this paper we study central extensions of the identity component G of the Lie group C ^∞ (M,K) of smooth maps from a compact manifold M into a Lie group K which might be infinite-dimensional. We restrict our attention to Lie algebra cocycles of the form ω(ξ,η)=[κ(ξ,dη)], where κ:𝔨×𝔨→Y is a symmetric invariant bilinear map on the Lie algebra 𝔨 of K and the values of ω lie in Ω¹(M,Y)/dC ^∞ (M,Y). For such cocycles we show that a corresponding central Lie group extension exists if and only if this is the case for M=𝕊¹. If K is finite-dimensional semisimple, this implies the existence of a universal central Lie group extension of G. The groups Diff(M) and C ^∞ (M,K) act naturally on G by automorphisms. We also show that these smooth actions can be lifted to smooth actions on the central extension if it also is a central extension of the universal covering group G˜ of G.

Unitary units and skew elements in group algebras

 Let FG be the group algebra of a group G over a field F and let * denote the canonical involution of FG induced by the map g→g ⁻¹ ,gG. Let Un(FG)={uFG|uu ^* =1} be the group of unitary units of FG. In case char F=0, we classify the torsion groups G for which Un(FG) satisfies a group identity not vanishing on 2-elements. Along the way we actually prove that, in characteristic 0, the unitary group Un(FG) does not contain a free group of rank 2 if FG ⁻ , the Lie algebra of skew elements of FG, is Lie nilpotent. Motivated by this connection we characterize most groups G for which FG ⁻ is Lie nilpotent and char F≠2.

The Isomorphism Problem for Universal Enveloping Algebras of Lie Algebras

Let L be a Lie algebra with universal enveloping algebra U(L). We prove that if H is another Lie algebra with the property that U(L) ≅ U(H) then certain invariants of L are inherited by H. For example, we prove that if L is nilpotent then H is nilpotent with the same class as L. We also prove that if L is nilpotent of class at most two then L is isomorphic to H. Presented by D.

Discreteness of Flux Groups

Let （M, ω） be a closed symplectic 2n-dimensional manifold. Donaldson in his paper showed that there exist 2m-dimensional symplectie submanifolds （V^2m,ω） of （M,ω）, 1 ≤m ≤ n - 1, with （m - 1）-equivalent inclusions. On the basis of this fact we obtain isomorphic relations between kernel of Lefschetz map of M and kernels of Lefschetz maps of Donaldson submanifolds V^2m, 2 ≤ m ≤ n - 1. Then, using this relation, we show that the flux group of M is discrete if the action of π1 （M） on π2（M） is trivial and there exists a retraction r ： M→ V, where V is a 4-dimensional Donaldson submanifold. And, in the symplectically aspherical case, we investigate the flux groups of the manifolds.     

On the semigroup nilpotency and the Lie nilpotency of associative algebras

To each associative ringR we can assign the adjoint Lie ringR ⁽⁻⁾ (with the operation(a,b)=ab−ba) and two semigroups, the multiplicative semigroupM(R) and the associated semigroupA(R) (with the operationaob=ab+a+b). It is clear that a Lie ringR ⁽⁻⁾ is commutative if and only if the semigroupM(R) (orA(R)) is commutative. In the present paper we try to generalize this observation to the case in whichR ⁽⁻⁾ is a nilpotent Lie ring. It is proved that ifR is an associative algebra with identity element over an infinite fieldF, then the algebraR ⁽⁻⁾ is nilpotent of lengthc if and only if the semigroupM(R) (orA(R)) is nilpotent of lengthc (in the sense of A. I. Mal'tsev or B. Neumann and T. Taylor). For the case in whichR is an algebra without identity element overF, this assertion remains valid forA(R), but fails forM(R). Another similar results are obtained. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 62, No. 4, pp. 510–519, October, 1997. Translated by A. I. Shtern     

Generalized Symplectic Action and Symplectomorphism Groups of Coadjoint Orbits

Let M be a quantizable symplectic manifold. If ψ_t is a loop in the group {Ham}(M) of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of M and A is a 2k-cycle in M, we define a symplectic action κ_A(ψ)∊ U(1) around ψ_t(A), which is invariant under deformations of ψ, and such that κ_A(ψ) depends only on the homology class of A. Using properties of κ_A( ) we determine a lower bound for ♯π₁(Ham(O)), where O is a quantizable coadjoint orbit of a compact Lie group. In particular we prove that ♯π₁(Ham(CPⁿ)) ≥ n+1.

On dimension of the Schur multiplier of nilpotent Lie algebras

Let L be an n-dimensional non-abelian nilpotent Lie algebra and $ s(L) = \frac{1} {2}(n - 1)(n - 2) + 1 - \dim M(L) $ s(L) = \frac{1} {2}(n - 1)(n - 2) + 1 - \dim M(L) where M(L) is the Schur multiplier of L. In [Niroomand P., Russo F., A note on the Schur multiplier of a nilpotent Lie algebra, Comm. Algebra (in press)] it has been shown that s(L) ≥ 0 and the structure of all nilpotent Lie algebras has been determined when s(L) = 0. In the present paper, we will characterize all finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras with s(L) = 1; 2.     

Topological *-algebras withC*-enveloping algebras II

UniversalC*-algebrasC*(A) exist for certain topological *-algebras called algebras with aC*-enveloping algebra. A Frechet *-algebraA has aC*-enveloping algebra if and only if every operator representation ofA mapsA into bounded operators. This is proved by showing that every unbounded operator representation π, continuous in the uniform topology, of a topological *-algebraA, which is an inverse limit of Banach *-algebras, is a direct sum of bounded operator representations, thereby factoring through the enveloping pro-C*-algebraE(A) ofA. Given aC*-dynamical system (G,A,α), any topological *-algebraB containingC _c (G,A) as a dense *-subalgebra and contained in the crossed productC*-algebraC*(G,A,α) satisfiesE(B) =C*(G,A,α). IfG = ℝ, ifB is an α-invariant dense Frechet *-subalgebra ofA such thatE(B) =A, and if the action α onB ism-tempered, smooth and by continuous *-automorphisms: then the smooth Schwartz crossed productS(ℝ,B,α) satisfiesE(S(ℝ,B,α)) =C*(ℝ,A,α). WhenG is a Lie group, theC ^∞-elementsC ^∞(A), the analytic elementsC ^ω(A) as well as the entire analytic elementsC ^є(A) carry natural topologies making them algebras with aC*-enveloping algebra. Given a non-unitalC*-algebraA, an inductive system of idealsI _α is constructed satisfyingA =C*-ind limI _α; and the locally convex inductive limit ind limI _α is anm-convex algebra with theC*-enveloping algebraA and containing the Pedersen idealK _a ofA. Given generatorsG with weakly Banach admissible relationsR, we construct universal topological *-algebraA(G, R) and show that it has aC*-enveloping algebra if and only if (G, R) isC*-admissible.     

On dualL 1-spaces and injective bidual Banach spaces

In a previous paper (Israel J. Math.28 (1977), 313–324), it was shown that for a certain class of cardinals τ,l ¹(τ) embeds in a Banach spaceX if and only ifL ¹([0, 1]^τ) embeds inX ^*. An extension (to a rather wider class of cardinals) of the basic lemma of that paper is here applied so as to yield an affirmative answer to a question posed by Rosenthal concerning dual ℒ₁-spaces. It is shown that ifZ ^* is a dual Banach space, isomorphic to a complemented subspace of anL ¹-space, and κ is the density character ofZ ^*, thenl ¹(κ) embeds inZ ^*. A corollary of this result is that every injective bidual Banach space is isomorphic tol ^∞(κ) for some κ. The second part of this article is devoted to an example, constructed using the continuum hypothesis, of a compact spaceS which carries a homogeneous measure of type ω₁, but which is such thatl ¹(ω₁) does not embed in ℰ(S). This shows that the main theorem of the already mentioned paper is not valid in the case τ = ω₁. The dual space ℰ(S)^* is isometric to , and is a member of a new isomorphism class of dualL ¹-spaces.     

Classification locale simultanée de deux formes symplectiques compatibles

Consider a symplectic form ω and a closed 2-form ω₁ on a real or complex manifold. Suppose that the Nijenhuis torsion of the tensor fieldJ defined by ω₁(X,Y) = ω(JX,Y) vanishes. In this paper we give the complete local classification of the couple {ω, ω₁} on a dense open set, defined by some minor conditions of regularity. Around each point of this open set we can find coordinates on wich ω is written with constant coefficients and ω₁ with affine ones. Projet de recherche DGICYT PB91-0412     

Lie algebras determined by finite valued Auslander-Reiten quivers

Let г denote a connected valued Auslander-Reiten quiver, let ℒ(γ) denote the free abelian group generated by the vertex setγ ₀ and let ℒ(Γ) be the universal cover ofг with fundamental groupG. It is proved that whenγ is a finite connected valued Auslander-Reiten quiver,ℒ(γ) is a Lie subalgebra ofℋ(г), and is just the “orbit” Lie algebra ℒ( )/G, where ℋ (г)₁ is the degenerate Hall algebra ofг and ℒ( )/G is the “orbit” Lie algebra induced by .     

The milnor-moore theorem in tame homotopy theory

LetX be a 1-connected space with Moore loop space ΩX. By a well-known theorem of J. W. Milnor and J. C. Moore [7] the Hurewicz homomorphism induces an isomorphism of Hopf algebrasU(π_*(ΩX) ⊗Q)→H _*(ΩX;Q). HereU(−) denotes the universal enveloping algebra and the Lie bracket on π_*(ΩX) ⊗Q is given by the Samelson product. Assume now thatX is the geometric realization of anr-reduced simplicial set,r≥3. LetL _X be a differential graded free Lie algebra over ℤ describing the tame homotopy type ofX according to the theory of [4]. Then the main result of the present paper is the construction of a sequence of morphisms of differential graded algebras betwenU(L _X ) and the algebraC U _*(ΩX)z of normalized cubical chains on ΩX such that the induced morphisms on homology with coefficientsR _k are isomorphismsH _r-1+l (U(L _x );R _k ) ≅H _r-1+l C U _*(ΩX);R _k ) forl≤k; hereR ₀⊆R ₁⊆… is a tame ring system, i. e.R _k )⊑Q and each primep with 2p−3≤k is invertible inR _k . However, it is no longer true that the Pontrjagin algebraH _≤r−1+k (ΩX; R _k ) of ΩX in degrees ≤r−1+k is determined by π_*(ΩX) or by a cofibrant (-fibrant) modelM of π_*(ΩX) as will be shown by an example. But there is a filtration onH _≤r−1+k (ΩX; R _k ) such that the associated graded algebra is isomorphic toH _≤r−1+k (U(M); R _k ).This will be proved by using a filtered Lie algebra model ofX constructed from a bigraded model of π_*(ΩX).

Representations of nilpotent Lie algebras

Let (L,[p]) a finite dimensional nilpotent restricted Lie algebra of characteristic p 3 3, c ? L^*p \geq 3, \chi \in L^* a linear form. In this paper we study the representation theory of the reduced universal enveloping algebra u(L,c)u(L,\chi ). It is shown that u(L,c)u(L,\chi ) does not admit blocks of tame representation type. As an application, we prove that the nonregular AR-components of u(L,c)u(L,\chi ) are of types \Bbb Z [A_￥ ]\Bbb Z [A_\infty ] or \Bbb Z [A_n]/(t)\Bbb Z [A_n]/(\tau ).
