Deformations of the infinite-dimensional Lie algebra L 3

For the nilpotent infinite-dimensional Lie algebra L ₃, we compute the second cohomology group H ²(L ₃, L ₃) with coefficients in the adjoint module. Nontrivial cocycles are found in closed form, and Massey powers are computed for them.     

q-Deformation of W（2, 2） Lie Algebra Associated with Quantum Groups

The q-deformation of W (2, 2) Lie algebra is well defined based on a realization of this Lie algebra by using the famous bosonic and fermionic oscillators in physics. Furthermore, the quantum group structures on the q-deformation of W (2, 2) Lie algebra are completely determined. Finally, the 1-dimensional central extension of the q-deformed W (2, 2) Lie algebra is studied, which turns out to be coincided with the conventional W (2, 2) Lie algebra in the q → 1 limit.     

Family algebras and generalized exponents for polyvector representations of simple Lie algebras of type <Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

We give an explicit formula for the exterior powers ∧ ^k π ₁ of the defining representation π ₁ of the simple Lie algebra ?ο(2n + 1, ?). We use the technique of family algebras. All representations in question are children of the spinor representation σ of g2ο(2n + 1, ?). We also give a survey of main results on family algebras.     

Generations of integrable hierarchies and exact solutions of related evolution equations with variable coefficients

We first propose a way for generating Lie algebras from which we get a few kinds of reduced 6 6 Lie algebras, denoted by R6, R8 and R1,R6/2, respectively. As for applications of some of them, a Lax pair is introduced by using the Lie algebra R6 whose compatibility gives rise to an integrable hierarchy with 4- potential functions and two arbitrary parameters whose corresponding Hamiltonian structure is obtained by the variational identity. Then we make use of the Lie algebra R6 to deduce a nonlinear integrable coupling hierarchy of the mKdV equation whose Hamiltonian structure is also obtained. Again,via using the Lie algebra R62, we introduce a Lax pair and work out a linear integrable coupling hierarchy of the mKdV equation whose Hamiltonian structure is obtained. Finally, we get some reduced linear and nonlinear equations with variable coefficients and work out the elliptic coordinate solutions, exact traveling wave solutions, respectively.     

Leibniz and Hochschild homology

We construct and study the map from Leibniz homology HL_?(𝔥) of an abelian extension 𝔥 of a simple real Lie algebra 𝔤 to the Hochschild homology HH_??1(U(𝔥)) of the universal envelopping algebra U(𝔥). To calculate some homology groups, we use the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequences and Pirashvili spectral sequences. The result shows what part of the non-commutative Leibniz theory is detected by classical Hochschild homology, which is of interest today in string theory.     

On the McCool group M3 and its associated Lie algebra

We prove that the Lie algebra of the McCool group M₃ is torsion free. As a result, we are able to give a presentation for the Lie algebra of M₃. Furthermore, M₃ is a Magnus group.     

From Lie algebra crossed modules to tensor hierarchies

The present paper, though inspired by the use of tensor hierarchies in theoretical physics, establishes their mathematical credentials, especially as genetically related to Lie algebra crossed modules. Gauging procedures in supergravity rely on a pairing – the embedding tensor – between a Leibniz algebra and a Lie algebra. Two such algebras, together with their embedding tensor, form a triple called a Lie-Leibniz triple, of which Lie algebra crossed modules are particular cases. This paper is devoted to showing that any Lie-Leibniz triple induces a differential graded Lie algebra – its associated tensor hierarchy – whose restriction to the category of Lie algebra crossed modules is the canonical assignment associating to any Lie algebra crossed module its corresponding unique 2-term differential graded Lie algebra. This shows that Lie-Leibniz triples form natural generalizations of Lie algebra crossed modules and that their associated tensor hierarchies can be considered as some kind of ‘lie-ization’ of the former. We deem the present construction of such tensor hierarchies clearer and more straightforward than previous derivations. We stress that such a construction suggests the existence of further well-defined Leibniz gauge theories.     

Modular <Emphasis Type="Italic">W</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis> Type Lie Algebras

The modular Witt algebra W(p, n) and H(p, 2n) are defined on the polynomial rings Z_p[x₁,...,x_n] and Z_p[X₁,...,x_n, y₁,...,y_n] respectively. We generalize Z_p[x₁,...,xn] and Zp[x₁,...,xn, y₁,...,y_n], so we get the generalized W-type and H-type modular Lie algebras. We find all the derivations of W(p, 1).AMS Subject Classification: Primary 17B40, 17B56.     

Leibniz algebras constructed by Witt algebras

We describe infinite-dimensional Leibniz algebras whose associated Lie algebra is the Witt algebra and we prove the triviality of low-dimensional Leibniz cohomology groups of the Witt algebra with the coefficients in itself.     

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.     

A new functor from <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis><Subscript>5</Subscript>-Mod to <Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis><Subscript>6</Subscript>-Mod

We find a new representation of the simple Lie algebra of type E ₆ on the polynomial algebra in 16 variables, which gives a fractional representation of the corresponding Lie group on 16-dimensional space. Using this representation and Shen’s idea of mixed product, we construct a new functor from D ₅-Mod to E ₆-Mod. A condition for the functor to map a finite-dimensional irreducible D ₅-module to an infinite-dimensional irreducible E ₆-module is obtained. Our results yield explicit constructions of certain infinite-dimensional irreducible weight E6-modules with finite-dimensional weight subspaces. In our approach, the idea of Kostant’s characteristic identities plays a key role.     

On v-closed manis valution rings

ABSTRACT

The graded Lie algebra L associated to the Nottingham group with respect to its natural filtration is known to be a loop algebra of the first Witt algebra W ₁ . The fact that the Schur multiplier of W ₁ , in characteristic p > 3, is one-dimensional implies that L is not finitely presented. Consider the universal covering ? ₁ of W ₁ and the corresponding loop algebra M of ? ₁ . In this paper we prove that M itself is finitely presented for p > 3. In characteristic p >  11 the algebra M turns out to be presented by two relations.     

Similarity variables and reduction of the heat equation on torus

The problem of symmetry classification for the heat equation on torus is studied by means of classical Lie group theory. The Lie point symmetries are constructed and Lie algebra is formed for equation under consideration. Then these algebras are used to classify its subalgebras up to conjugacy classes. In general the heat equation on torus admits one-, two-, three- and four-dimensional algebras. For one-dimensional algebra £₁ and £₂ the heat equation on torus is reduced in independent variables whereas in two-dimensional algebras £₃ and £₄ the considered heat equation is investigated by quadrature. While three- and four-dimensional algebras lead to a trivial solution.     

Matrix Bernoulli equations. II

In this paper, we find sufficient conditions for the solvability by quadratures of J. Bernoulli’s equation defined over the set M ₂ of square matrices of order 2. We consider the cases when such equations are stated in terms of bases of a two-dimensional abelian algebra and a three-dimensional solvable Lie algebra over M ₂. We adduce an example of the third degree J. Bernoulli’s equation over a commutative algebra.
