Quasi-filiform Leibniz algebras of maximum length

The n-dimensional p-filiform Leibniz algebras of maximum length have already been studied with 0 ≤ p ≤ 2. For Lie algebras whose nilindex is equal to n−2 there is only one characteristic sequence, (n − 2, 1, 1), while in Leibniz theory we obtain the two possibilities: (n − 2, 1, 1) and (n − 2, 2). The first case (the 2-filiform case) is already known. The present paper deals with the second case, i.e., quasi-filiform non-Lie-Leibniz algebras of maximum length. Therefore this work completes the study of the maximum length of the Leibniz algebras with nilindex n − p with 0 ≤ p ≤ 2.     

3-Filiform Leibniz algebras of maximum length,whose naturally graded algebras are Lie algebras

In this article we present the classification of the 3-filiform Leibniz algebras of maximum length, whose associated naturally graded algebras are Lie algebras. Our main tools are a previous existence result by Cabezas and Pastor [J.M. Cabezas and E. Pastor, Naturally graded p-filiform Lie algebras in arbitrary finite dimension, J. Lie Theory 15 (2005), pp. 379–391] and the construction of appropriate homogeneous bases in the connected gradation considered. This is a continuation of the work done in Ref. [J.M. Cabezas, L.M. Camacho, and I.M. Rodríguez, On filiform and 2-filiform Leibniz algebras of maximum length, J. Lie Theory 18 (2008), pp. 335–350].     

Solvable Leibniz algebras with quasi-filiform Lie algebras of maximum length nilradicals

Abstract

In this article, solvable Leibniz algebras, whose nilradical is quasi-filiform Lie algebra of maximum length, are classified. The rigidity of such Leibniz algebras with two-dimensional complemented space to the nilradical is proved.

Thin Leibniz algebras

In this paper, we study the Darboux transformation of the Darboux-Treibich-Verdier equation. On the basis of this transformation, we construct a generalization of the Darboux transformation to the case of the Heun equation and to other linear ordinary differential equations of second order. Examples are given.     

Leibniz algebras constructed by Witt algebras

ABSTRACT

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.     

Rational homotopy of Leibniz algebras

We construct a non-commutative rational homotopy theory by replacing the pair (Lie algebras, commutative algebras) by the pair (Leibniz algebras, Leibniz-dual algebras). Both pairs are Koszul dual in the sense of operads (Ginzburg–Kapranov). We prove the existence of minimal models and the Hurewicz theorem in this framework. We define Leibniz spheres and prove that their homotopy is periodic. Received: 19 September 1997 / Revised version: 23 February 1998     

Conformal representations of Leibniz algebras

We study the embedding construction of Lie dialgebras (Leibniz algebras) into conformal algebras. This construction leads to the concept of a conformal representation of Leibniz algebras. We prove that each (finite-dimensional) Leibniz algebra possesses a faithful linear representation (of finite type). As a corollary we give a new proof of the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem for Leibniz algebras.     

On the toroidal Leibniz algebras

Toroidal Leibniz algebras are the universal central extensions of the iterated loop algebras g×C[t1^±1,...,tv^±1] in the category of Leibniz algebras. In this paper, some properties and representations of toroidal Leibniz algebras are studied. Some general theories of central extensions of Leibniz algebras are also obtained.     

The Schur Lie-multiplier of Leibniz algebras

Abstract

For a free presentation 0 → τ → → → 0 of a Leibniz algebra , the Baer invariant is called the Schur multiplier of relative to the Liezation functor or Schur Lie-multiplier. For a two-sided ideal of a Leibniz algebra , we construct a four-term exact sequence relating the Schur Lie-multipliers of and /, which is applied to study and characterize Lie-nilpotency, Lie-stem covers and Lie-capability of Leibniz algebras.     

Derived brackets and sh Leibniz algebras

We develop a general framework for the construction of various derived brackets. We show that suitably deforming the differential of a graded Leibniz algebra extends the derived bracket construction and leads to the notion of strong homotopy (sh) Leibniz algebra. We discuss the connections among homotopy algebra theory, deformation theory and derived brackets. We prove that the derived bracket construction induces a map from suitably defined deformation theory equivalence classes to the isomorphism classes of sh Leibniz algebras.     

Leibniz algebras with pseudo-Riemannian bilinear forms

M. Bordemann has studied non-associative algebras with nondegenerate associative bilinear forms. In this paper, we focus on pseudo-Riemannian bilinear forms and study pseudo-Riemannian Leibniz algebras, i.e., Leibniz algebras with pseudo-Riemannian non-degenerate symmetric bilinear forms. We give the notion and some properties of T*-extensions of Leibniz algebras. In addition, we introduce the definition of equivalence and isometrical equivalence for two T*-extensions of a Leibniz algebra, and give a sufficient and necessary condition for the equivalence and isometrical equivalence.     

Description of some classes of Leibniz algebras

In this paper we describe the isomorphism classes of finite-dimensional complex Leibniz algebras whose quotient algebra with respect to the ideal generated by squares is isomorphic to the direct sum of three-dimensional simple Lie algebra sl₂ and a three-dimensional solvable ideal. We choose a basis of the isomorphism classes’ representatives and give explicit multiplication tables.     

On classification of four-dimensional nilpotent Leibniz algebras

Leibniz algebras are certain generalization of Lie algebras. In this paper, we give the classification of four-dimensional non-Lie nilpotent Leibniz algebras. We use the canonical forms for the congruence classes of matrices of bilinear forms and some other techniques to obtain our result.
