Cleft extensions of a family of braided Hopf algebras

We introduce a family of braided Hopf algebras that (in characteristic zero) generalizes the rank 1 Hopf algebras introduced by Krop and Radford and we study its cleft extensions.     

A refinement of the toral rank conjecture for 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras

It is known that the total (co)-homoloy of a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra is at least , where is the center of . We improve this result by showing that a better lower bound is , where and is a complement of in . Furthermore, we provide evidence that this is the best possible bound of the form .

     

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.     

Representations of Loop Kac-Moody Lie Algebras

We study representations of the Loop Kac-Moody Lie algebra 𝔤 ?A, where 𝔤 is any Kac-Moody algebra and A is a ring of Laurent polynomials in n commuting variables. In particular, we study representations with finite dimensional weight spaces and their graded versions. When we specialize 𝔤 to be a finite dimensional or affine Lie algebra we obtain modules for toroidal Lie algebras.     

On Nilpotent Properties of Leibniz Algebras

A generalization of a classical result from the theory of nilpotent Lie algebras to Leibniz algebras leads to several applications concerning the nilpotent properties both of these two types of algebras.     

Tubular algebras and affine Kac-Moody algebras

The purpose of this paper is to construct quotient algebras L(A)1C/I(A) of complex degenerate composition Lie algebras L(A)1C by some ideals, where L(A)1C is defined via Hall algebras of tubular algebras A, and to prove that the quotient algebras L(A)1C/I(A) are isomorphic to the corresponding affine Kac-Moody algebras. Moreover, it is shown that the Lie algebra Lre(A)1C generated by A-modules with a real root coincides with the degenerate composition Lie algebra L(A)1C generated by simple A-modules.     

Capable Lie algebras with the derived subalgebra of dimension 2 over an arbitrary field

In this paper, we classify all capable nilpotent Lie algebras with the derived subalgebra of dimension 2 over an arbitrary field. Moreover, the explicit structure of such Lie algebras of class 3 is given.     

Classification of three-dimensional zeropotent algebras over the real number field

A nonassociative algebra is defined to be zeropotent if the square of any element is zero. In this paper, we give a complete classification of three-dimensional zeropotent algebras over the real number field up to isomorphism. By restricting the result to the subclass of Lie algebras, we can obtain a classification of three-dimensional real Lie algebras, which is in accordance with the Bianchi classification. Moreover, three-dimensional zeropotent algebras over a real closed field are classified in the same manner as those over the real number field.     

Classification of three-dimensional zeropotent algebras over an algebraically closed field

A nonassociative algebra is defined to be zeropotent if the square of any element is zero. Zeropotent algebras are exactly the same as anticommutative algebras when the characteristic of the ground field is not two. The class of zeropotent algebras properly contains that of Lie algebras. In this paper, we give a complete classification of three-dimensional zeropotent algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to two. By restricting the result to the subclass of Lie algebras, we can obtain a classification of three-dimensional complex Lie algebras, which is in accordance with the conventional one.     

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.     

A Nilpotent Ideal in the Lie Rings with Automorphism of Prime Order

We improve the conclusion in Khukhro's theorem stating that a Lie ring (algebra) L admitting an automorphism of prime order p with finitely many m fixed points (with finite-dimensional fixed-point subalgebra of dimension m) has a subring (subalgebra) H of nilpotency class bounded by a function of p such that the index of the additive subgroup |L: H| (the codimension of H) is bounded by a function of m and p. We prove that there exists an ideal, rather than merely a subring (subalgebra), of nilpotency class bounded in terms of p and of index (codimension) bounded in terms of m and p. The proof is based on the method of generalized, or graded, centralizers which was originally suggested in [E. I. Khukhro, Math. USSR Sbornik 71 (1992) 51–63]. An important precursor is a joint theorem of the author and E. I. Khukhro on almost solubility of Lie rings (algebras) with almost regular automorphisms of finite order.     

C-Ideals of Lie Algebras

A subalgebra B of a Lie algebra L is called a c-ideal of L if there is an ideal C of L such that L = B + C and B ∩ C ≤ B _L , where B _L is the largest ideal of L contained in B. This is analogous to the concept of c-normal subgroup, which has been studied by a number of authors. We obtain some properties of c-ideals and use them to give some characterisations of solvable and supersolvable Lie algebras. We also classify those Lie algebras in which every one-dimensional subalgebra is a c-ideal.     

A new characterization of semisimple Lie algebras

Using Casimir elements, we characterize the semisimple Lie algebras among the quadratic Lie algebras. This characterization gives, in particular, a generalization of a consequence of Cartan's second criterion.

     

Solvable complete lie algebras. I ∗

In this paper, we will discuss the properties of solvable complete Lie algebra, describe the structures of the root spaces of solvable complete Lie algebra, prove that solvable Lie algebras of maximal rank are com-plete, and construct some new complete Lie algebras from Kac-Moody algebras.     

Quadratic maps and Bockstein closed group extensions

Let be a central extension of the form where and are elementary abelian -groups. Associated to there is a quadratic map , given by the -power map, which uniquely determines the extension. This quadratic map also determines the extension class of the extension in and an ideal in which is generated by the components of . We say that is Bockstein closed if is an ideal closed under the Bockstein operator.

We find a direct condition on the quadratic map that characterizes when the extension is Bockstein closed. Using this characterization, we show for example that quadratic maps induced from the fundamental quadratic map given by yield Bockstein closed extensions.

On the other hand, it is well known that an extension is Bockstein closed if and only if it lifts to an extension for some -lattice . In this situation, one may write for a ``binding matrix' with entries in . We find a direct way to calculate the module structure of in terms of . Using this, we study extensions where the lattice is diagonalizable/triangulable and find interesting equivalent conditions to these properties.

     

On derived categories of modules over 2-vertex basic algebras

We investigate finite dimensional 2-vertex basic algebras of finite global dimension and the derived categories of modules over such algebras. We prove that any superrigid object in the derived category of modules over a “loop-kind” two-vertex algebra is a pure module up to the action of Serre functor and translation. All superrigid objects in the derived categories of modules over two-vertex algebras of global dimension 2 are described. Also we obtain a complete classification of two-vertex basic algebras possessing a full exceptional pair in the derived category of modules.
