On the dimension of the Schur multiplier of nilpotent lie algebras

We give a bound on the dimension of the Schur multiplier of a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra which sharpens the earlier known bounds.     

Some inequalities for the dimension of the Schur multiplier of a pair of (nilpotent) Lie algebras

The purpose of this paper is to obtain some inequalities for the dimension of the Schur multiplier of a pair of finite dimensional Lie algebras and their factor Lie algebras. Moreover, we present some inequalities for the Schur multiplier of a pair of finite dimensional nilpotent 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.     

On dimension and homological methods of the (higher) Schur multiplier of a pair of Lie algebras

In this article, some inequalities of the dimension of Schur multiplier of pairs of Lie algebras will be obtained and new upper bound will be compared with the existing ones in the literature. Furthermore, by using homological methods, we will derive some properties of the higher Schur multiplier of a pair of Lie algebras and give some isomorphisms that generalize some known results of Stallings in group theory setting.     

On the Schur multiplier of augmented algebras

Letk be a field, andA a finitely generatedk-algebra, with augmentation. Suppose there is a presentation ofA 0→I→R→A→0 whereR is a finitely generated freek-algebra andI is non-zero. IfA is infinite dimensional overk, Lewin proved thatR/I ² is not finitely presented. A stronger statement would be that the ‘Schur multiplier’ ofR/I ² is not finite dimensional. In the case thatA is an augmented domain, we prove this stronger statement, and some related statements.     

Minimal algebras and 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras in dimension 7

We use the methods of Bazzoni and Muñoz (Trans Am Math Soc 364:1007–1028, 2012) to give a classification of 7-dimensional minimal algebras, generated in degree 1, over any field ${\mathbf{k}}$ of characteristic ${{\rm char}(\mathbf{k})\neq 2}$ , whose characteristic filtration has length 2. Equivalently, we classify 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras in dimension 7. This classification also recovers the real homotopy type of 7-dimensional 2-step nilmanifolds.     

On Lie nilpotent modular group algebras

Let K be a field of characteristic p>0 and let KG be the group algebra of an arbitrary group G over K. It is known that if KG is Lie nilpotent, then its lower as well as upper Lie nilpotency index is at least p+1. The group algebras KG for which these indices are p+1 or 2p or 3p?1 or 4p?2 have already been determined. In this paper, we classify the group algebras KG for which the upper Lie nilpotency index is 5p?3, 6p?4 or 7p?5.     

Complete commutative sets of polynomials for solvable Lie algebras of dimension six and nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension seven

A complete commutative set of polynomials is constructed using Sadetov’s method on the coalgebra of each real 6-dimensional solvable non-nilpotent Lie algebra and of each real 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra.     

On the index of certain nilpotent Lie algebras

We introduce a method of calculation of the index of Lie algebras that are factors of the unitriangular Lie algebra with respect to ideals spanned by subsets of root vectors.

On Einstein extensions of nilpotent metric Lie algebras

The main result of the article is as follows: If a nilpotent noncommutative metric Lie algebra (n, Q) is such that the operator Id ? trace(Ric) / trace(Ric²) Ric is positive definite then every Einstein solvable extension of (n, Q) is standard. We deduce several consequences of this assertion. In particular, we prove that all Einstein solvmanifolds of dimension at most 7 are standard.     

On the codimension growth of almost nilpotent Lie algebras

We study codimension growth of infinite dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that if a Lie algebra L is an extension of a nilpotent algebra by a finite dimensional semisimple algebra then the PI-exponent of L exists and is a positive integer.     

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 ).     

Decompositions of nilpotent Lie algebras

It is proved that decompositions of nilpotent Lie algebras are global. In the complex case, nilpotency is also a necessary condition for every decomposition to be global. The results obtained are applied to the classification of complex homogeneous spaces of simply connected nilpotent Lie groups.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 23, No. 1, pp. 27–30, January, 1978.In conclusion, the author would like to thank A. L. Onishchik for his interest in this research.     

The classification of two step nilpotent complex Lie algebras of dimension 8

A Lie algebra g is called two step nilpotent if g is not abelian and [g, g] lies in the center of g. Two step nilpotent Lie algebras are useful in the study of some geometric problems, such as commutative Riemannian manifolds, weakly symmetric Riemannian manifolds, homogeneous Einstein manifolds, etc. Moreover, the classification of two-step nilpotent Lie algebras has been an important problem in Lie theory. In this paper, we study two step nilpotent indecomposable Lie algebras of dimension 8 over the field of complex numbers. Based on the study of minimal systems of generators, we choose an appropriate basis and give a complete classification of two step nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension 8.
