Non-weight representations of Cartan type S Lie algebras

For the two Cartan type S subalgebras of the Witt algebra 𝒲_n, called Lie algebras of divergence-zero vector fields, we determine all module structures on the universal enveloping algebra of their Cartan subalgebra 𝔥_n. We also give all submodules of these modules.     

Extensions of Modules over Hopf Algebras Arising from Lie Algebras of Cartan Type

In this paper we prove that there are no self-extensions of simple modules over restricted Lie algebras of Cartan type. The proof given by Andersen for classical Lie algebras not only uses the representation theory of the Lie algebra, but also representations of the corresponding reductive algebraic group. The proof presented in the paper follows in the same spirit by using the construction of a infinite-dimensional Hopf algebra D(G) u( ) containing u( ) as a normal Hopf subalgebra, and the representation theory of this algebra developed in our previous work. Finite-dimensional hyperalgebra analogs D(G _r ) u( ) have also been constructed, and the results are stated in this setting.     

Lie Bialgebras of Generalized WITT Type,II

In an article by Michaelis, a class of infinite-dimensional Lie bialgebras containing the Virasoro algebra was presented. This type of Lie bialgebras was classified by Ng and Taft. In a recent article by Song and Su, Lie bialgebra structures on graded Lie algebras of generalized Witt type with finite dimensional homogeneous components were considered. In this article we consider Lie bialgebra structures on the graded Lie algebras of generalized Witt type with infinite dimensional homogeneous components. By proving that the first cohomology group H¹(𝒲, 𝒲 ? 𝒲) is trivial for any graded Lie algebras 𝒲 of generalized Witt type with infinite dimensional homogeneous components, we obtain that all such Lie bialgebras are triangular coboundary.     

On Cartan Invariants and Blocks of Zassenhaus Algebras #

In this article, we determine the Cartan invariants for Zassenhaus algebras W(1,n). This is done by reducing representations of generalized restricted Cartan type Lie algebra W(1,n) to representations of restricted Lie algebras W(1,1) and of ± b𝔰 ± b𝔩(2), and then extending Feldvoss-Nakano's argument on W(1,1) to the case W(1,n).     

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.     

Banach Lie algebras with Lie subalgebras of finite codimension: Their invariant subspaces and Lie ideals

The paper studies the existence of closed invariant subspaces for a Lie algebra L of bounded operators on an infinite-dimensional Banach space X. It is assumed that L contains a Lie subalgebra L₀ that has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace in X of finite codimension or dimension. It is proved that L itself has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace in the following two cases: (1) L₀ has finite codimension in L and there are Lie subalgebras L₀=L⁰⊂L¹⊂?⊂Lp=L such that Li+1=Li+[Li,Li+1] for all i; (2) L₀ is a Lie ideal of L and dim(L₀)=∞. These results are applied to the problem of the existence of non-trivial closed Lie ideals and closed characteristic Lie ideals in an infinite-dimensional Banach Lie algebra L that contains a non-trivial closed Lie subalgebra of finite codimension.     

Classical and Exceptional Root Systems and Quantizations

We present a method for quantizing semisimple Lie algebras. In Huru (Russ. Math. [2007]) we defined quantizations of the braided Lie algebra structure on a finite dimensional graded vector space V by quantizations of braided derivations on the exterior algebra of V ^* . We find quantizations of semisimple Lie algebras in this setting using the grading by their roots and shall go through all root systems, classical and exceptional.      

Graded Lie algebras with few nontrivial components

We prove that if a (?/n?)-graded Lie algebra L = ? _i=0 ^n?1 L _i has d nontrivial components L _i and the null component L ₀ has finite dimension m, then L has a homogeneous solvable ideal of derived length bounded by a function of d and of codimension bounded by a function of m and d. An analogous result holds also for the (?/n?)-graded Lie rings L = ? _i=0 ^n?1 with few nontrivial components L _i if the null component L ₀ has finite order m. These results generalize Kreknin’s theorem on the solvability of the (?/n?)-graded Lie rings L = ? _i=0 ^n?1 L _i with trivial component L ₀ and Shalev’s theorem on the solvability of such Lie rings with few nontrivial components L _i . The proof is based on the method of generalized centralizers which was created by E. I. Khukhro for Lie rings and nilpotent groups with almost regular automorphisms of prime order [1], as well as on the technique developed in the work of N. Yu. Makarenko and E. I. Khukhro on the almost solvability of Lie algebras with an almost regular automorphism of finite order [2].

Weyl Groups are Finite — and Other Finiteness Properties of Cartan Subalgebras

For each pair (??,??) consisting of a real Lie algebra ?? and a subalgebra a of some Cartan subalgebra ?? of ?? such that [??, ??]∪ [??, ??] we define a Weyl group W(??, ??) and show that it is finite. In particular, W(??, ??,) is finite for any Cartan subalgebra h. The proof involves the embedding of 0 into the Lie algebra of a complex algebraic linear Lie group to which the structure theory of Lie algebras and algebraic groups is applied. If G is a real connected Lie group with Lie algebra ??, the normalizer N(??, G) acts on the finite set Λ of roots of the complexification ??c with respect to hc, giving a representation π : N(??, G)→ S(Λ) into the symmetric group on the set Λ. We call the kernel of this map the Cartan subgroup C(??) of G with respect to h; the image is isomorphic to W(??, ??), and C(??)= {g G : Ad(g)(h)— h ε [h,h] for all h ε h }. All concepts introduced and discussed reduce in special situations to the familiar ones. The information on the finiteness of the Weyl groups is applied to show that under very general circumstance, for b ∪ ?? the set ??? ?(b) remains finite as ? ranges through the full group of inner automorphisms of ??.     

A computational procedure on higher‐dimensional nilsolitons

In this paper, we develop algorithmic approach to classify nilsoliton metrics on dimension 8. This approach includes finding eigenvalue type of the nilsoliton derivation, the nullity type, the index of the algebra. It can be considered as a continuation of our papers in Abstract and Applied analysis, volume 2013, 1 to 7, (2013), with article ID 871930, and in Journal of Symbolic Computation 50 (2013), 350 ‐ 373. In our previous work, we classified only ordered type, nilsoliton metric Lie algebras ie, the algebras with the derivation type (1 < 2 < 3… < n) in dimension 8 and 9. Here, we consider more general case. We consider such metrics with simple derivations on an indecomposable nilpotent Lie algebra. In one of our previous study, we have already classified nilsoliton metric Lie algebras with nonsingular Gram matrix in dimension 8 in Journal of Symbolic Computation, vol: 50, 350 ‐ 373, 2013. Here, we focus on the metrics with singular Gram matrix. We also develop faster algorithm in classifying such metrics.     

Contact and Frobenius solvable Lie algebras with abelian nilradical

The aim of this work is to characterize the families of Frobenius (respectively, contact) solvable Lie algebras that satisfies the following condition: 𝔤 = 𝔥?V, where 𝔥?𝔤𝔩(V), |dim V?dim 𝔤|≤1 and NilRad(𝔤) = V, V being a finite dimensional vector space. In particular, it is proved that every complex Frobenius solvable Lie algebra is decomposable, whereas that in the real case there are only two indecomposable Frobenius solvable Lie algebras.     

Derivations of generalized Weyl algebras

A class of the associative and Lie algebras A[D] = A F[D] of Weyl type are studied, where A is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field F of characteristic zero, and F[D] is the polynomial algebra of a finite dimensional commutative subalgebra of locally finite derivations of A such that A is D-simple. The derivations of these associative and Lie algebras are precisely determined.     

On the respective terms of the derived and the polycentral series of a free lie algabra and an ideal

Let F be a free Lie algebra of rank> 1 and S be an ideal of F. Denote by F_m and F_{n l},…,n_k the terms of the lower central and the polycentral series of F. The aim of this paper is to provide a sufficient condition for the quotient algebra F_{n l},…,n_k/S_{n l},…,n_k to be infinitely generated. The case F_m/S_m was studied in [6] for free groups and in [ 2 ] for free Lie algebras. In this paper the following main theorem is proved : If F = F2 = S, k > 1 and n_i > 1 for i=l,…, k, then F_{n l}…,n_k/S_{n l} is infinitely generated.     

Generalized Poisson brackets and lie algebras of type H in characteristic 0

The Lie algebra of Cartan type H which occurs as a subalgebra of the Lie algebra of derivations of the polynomial algebra was generalized by the first author to a class which included a subalgebra of the derivations of the Laurent polynomials . We show in this paper that these generalizations of Cartan type H algebras are isomorphic to certain generalizations of the classical algebra of Poisson brackets, and that it can be generalized further. In turn, these algebras can be recast in a form that is an adaption of a class of Lie algebras of characteristic p that was defined in 1958 be R. Block. A further generalization of these algebras is the main topic of this paper. We show when these algebras are simple, find their derivations, and determine all possible isomorphisms between two of these algebras.

Two-step solvable Lie algebras and weight graphs

By using the concept of weight graph associated to nonsplit complex nilpotent Lie algebras \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g}, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for a semidirect product \mathfrakg?^? T_i\mathfrak{g}\overrightarrow{\oplus } T_{i} to be two-step solvable, where $T_{i}TT over \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g} which induces a decomposition of \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g} into one-dimensional weight spaces without zero weights. In particular we show that the semidirect product of such a Lie algebra with a maximal torus of derivations cannot be itself two-step solvable. We also obtain some applications to rigid Lie algebras, as a geometrical proof of the nonexistence of two-step nonsplit solvable rigid Lie algebras in dimensions n\geqslant 3n\geqslant 3.     

A class of nilpotent lie algebras

A p-filiform Lie algebra g is a nilpotent Lie algebra for which Goze’s invariant is (n–p,1,…,1). These Lie algebras are well known for P ≥ n-4n = dim(g). In this paper we describe the p-filiform Lie algebras, for p = n-5 and we gjive their classification when the derived subalgebra is maximal.
