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 ).     

Representations of four-derivation Lie algebras of Block type

Block introduced certain analogues of the Zassenhaus algebras over a field of characteristic 0. The nongraded infinite-dimensional simple Lie algebras of Block type constructed by Xu can be viewed as generalizations of the Block algebras. In this paper, we construct a family of irreducible modules in terms of multiplication and differentiation operators on ＂polynomials＂ for four-devivation nongraded Lie algebras of Block type based on the finite-dimensional irreducible weight modules with multiplicity one of general linear Lie algebras. We also find a new series of submodules from which some irreducible quotient modules are obtained.     

Representations of finite universal algebras in finite semigroups

An answer is given to the question of what conditions must be imposed on a signature in order that every finite algebra with this signature can be represented in the Mal'tsev-Cohn sense in a finite semigroup.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 9, No. 3, pp. 285–290, March, 1971.The author wishes to thank A.

Representations of nongraded Lie algebras of block type

From his classification of quadratic conformal algebras corresponding to certain Hamiltonian pairs in integrable systems, Xu found a family of simple Lie algebras related to pairs of locally-finite derivations on certain commutative associative algebras. In this paper, we construct a large family of irreducible modules with four parameters for Xu's two-devivation algebras via the corresponding algebras of Weyl type. When the derivations are graded operators, we obtain a large family of uniformly-bounded irreducible weight modules for the Block algebras.     

Representations of centrally-extended Lie algebras over differential operators and vertex algebras

We construct irreducible modules of centrally-extended classical Lie algebras over left ideals of the algebra of differential operators on the circle, through certain irreducible modules of centrally-extended classical Lie algebras of infinite matrices with finite number of nonzero entries. The structures of vertex algebras associated with the vacuum representations of these algebras are determined. Moreover, we prove that under certain conditions, the highest-weight irreducible modules of centrally-extended classical Lie algebras of infinite matrices with finite number of nonzero entries naturally give rise to the irreducible modules of the simple quotients of these vertex algebras. From vertex algebra and its representation point of view, our results with positive integral central charge are high-order differential operator analogues of the well-known WZW models in conformal field theory associated with affine Kac-Moody algebras. Indeed, when the left ideals are the algebra of differential operators, our Lie algebras do contain affine Kac-Moody algebras as subalgebras and our results restricted on them are exactly the representation contents in WZW models. Similar results with negative central charge are also obtained.     

Lie algebras with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension

We prove that every finitely generated Lie algebra containing a nilpotent ideal of class and finite codimension has Gelfand-Kirillov dimension at most . In particular, finitely generated virtually nilpotent Lie algebras have polynomial growth.

     

Graded Lie algebras with finite polydepth

If A is a graded connected algebra then we define a new invariant, polydepthA, which is finite if for some A-module M of at most polynomial growth. Theorem 1: If f:X→Y is a continuous map of finite category, and if the orbits of acting in the homology of the homotopy fibre grow at most polynomially, then has finite polydepth. Theorem 5: If L is a graded Lie algebra and polydepthUL is finite then either L is solvable and UL grows at most polynomially or else for some integer d and all r, ∑_i=k+1^k+ddimL_i?k^r, k? some k(r).

Locally finite Lie algebras with root decomposition

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $\frak {g}$ be a countably dimensional locally finite Lie algebra over K, and $\frak {h} \subset \frak {g}$ be a (a priori non-abelian) locally nilpotent subalgebra of $\frak {g}$ which coincides with its zero Fitting component. We classify all such pairs $(\frak {g}, \frak {h})$ under the assumptions that the locally solvable radical of $\frak {g}$ equals zero and that $\frak {g}$ admits a root decomposition with respect to $\frak {h}$. More precisely, we prove that $\frak {g}$ is the union of reductive subalgebras $\frak {g}_n$ such that the intersections $\frak {g}_n \cap \frak {h}$ are nested Cartan subalgebras of $\frak {g}_n$ with compatible root decompositions. This implies that $\frak {g}$ is root-reductive and that $\frak {h}$ is abelian. Root-reductive locally finite Lie algebras are classified in [6]. The result of the present note is a more general version of the main classification theorem in [9] and is at the same time a new criterion for a locally finite Lie algebra to be root-reductive. Finally we give an explicit example of an abelian selfnormalizing subalgebra $\frak {h}$ of $\frak {g} = \frak {sl}(\infty)$ with respect to which $\frak {g}$ does not admit a root decomposition.Work Supported in Part by the University of Hamburg and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Bonn     

Representations of Lie algebras by non-skewselfadjoint operators in Hilbert space

We study non-skewselfadjoint representations of a finite dimensional real Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. To this end we embed a non-skewselfadjoint representation of $\mathfrak{g}$ into a more complicated structure, that we call a $\mathfrak{g}$-operator vessel and that is associated to an overdetermined linear conservative input/state/output system on the corresponding simply connected Lie group $\mathfrak{G}$. We develop the frequency domain theory of the system in terms of representations of $\mathfrak{G}$, and introduce the joint characteristic function of a $\mathfrak{g}$-operator vessel which is the analogue of the classical notion of the characteristic function of a single non-selfadjoint operator. As the first non-commutative example, we apply the theory to the Lie algebra of the $ax+b$ group, the group of affine transformations of the line.
