Solvable quadratic Lie algebras

A Lie algebra endowed with a nondegenerate, symmetric, invariant bilinear form is called a quadratic Lie algebra. In this paper, the author investigates the structure of solvable quadratic Lie algebras, in particular, the solvable quadratic Lie algebras whose Cartan subalgebras consist of semi-simple elements, the author presents a procedure to construct a class of quadratic Lie algebras from the point of view of cohomology and shows that all solvable quadratic Lie algebras can be obtained in this way.     

Solvable Lie algebras are not that hypo

We study a type of left-invariant structure on Lie groups or, equivalently, on Lie algebras. We introduce obstructions to the existence of a hypo structure, namely the five-dimensional geometry of hypersurfaces in manifolds with holonomy SU(3). The choice of a splitting \mathfrakg^* = V₁ ?V₂ {\mathfrak{g}^*} = {V_1} \oplus {V_2} , and the vanishing of certain associated cohomology groups, determine a first obstruction. We also construct necessary conditions for the existence of a hypo structure with a fixed almost-contact form. For nonunimodular Lie algebras, we derive an obstruction to the existence of a hypo structure, with no choice involved. We apply these methods to classify solvable Lie algebras that admit a hypo structure.

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.

Dimension formula for graded Lie algebras and its applications

In this paper, we investigate the structure of infinite dimensional Lie algebras graded by a countable abelian semigroup satisfying a certain finiteness condition. The Euler-Poincaré principle yields the denominator identities for the -graded Lie algebras, from which we derive a dimension formula for the homogeneous subspaces . Our dimension formula enables us to study the structure of the -graded Lie algebras in a unified way. We will discuss some interesting applications of our dimension formula to the various classes of graded Lie algebras such as free Lie algebras, Kac-Moody algebras, and generalized Kac-Moody algebras. We will also discuss the relation of graded Lie algebras and the product identities for formal power series.

     

Non-linear Lie conformal algebras with three generators

We classify certain non-linear Lie conformal algebras with three generators, which can be viewed as deformations of the current Lie conformal algebra of sℓ ₂. In doing so we discover an interesting 1-parameter family of non-linear Lie conformal algebras and the corresponding freely generated vertex algebras , which includes for d = 1 the affine vertex algebra of sℓ ₂ at the critical level k = –2. We construct free-field realizations of the algebras extending the Wakimoto realization of at the critical level, and we compute their Zhu algebras.

Lie products in incidence algebras

We give conditions when a strictly upper triangular element of an incidence algebra over a commutative ring is the Lie commutator of two elements of the incidence algebra, one of which is strictly upper triangular. In particular, it follows that this is the case for the ring of n × n upper triangular matrices, where n is either finite or infinite.     

Central extensions of some Lie algebras

We consider three Lie algebras: , the Lie algebra of all derivations on the algebra of formal Laurent series; the Lie algebra of all differential operators on ; and the Lie algebra of all differential operators on We prove that each of these Lie algebras has an essentially unique nontrivial central extension.

     

Double extensions of Lie algebras of Kac-Moody type and applications to some hamiltonian systems

We describe some Lie algebras of the Kac-Moody type, construct their double extensions, central and by derivations; we also construct the corresponding Lie groups in some cases. We study the case of the Lie algebra of unimodular vector fields in more detail and use the linear Poisson structure on their regular duals to construct generalizations of some infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, such as magnetohydrodynamics.     

Cup products,lower central series,and holonomy Lie algebras

We generalize basic results relating the associated graded Lie algebra and the holonomy Lie algebra of a group, from finitely presented, commutator-relators groups to arbitrary finitely presented groups. Using the notion of “echelon presentation,” we give an explicit formula for the cup-product in the cohomology of a finite 2-complex. This yields an algorithm for computing the corresponding holonomy Lie algebra, based on a Magnus expansion method. As an application, we discuss issues of graded-formality, filtered-formality, 1-formality, and mildness. We illustrate our approach with examples drawn from a variety of group-theoretic and topological contexts, such as link groups, one-relator groups, and fundamental groups of orientable Seifert fibered manifolds.     

Solvable Lie Algebras, Lie Groups andPolynomial Structures

In this paper, we study polynomial structures by starting on the Lie algebra level, thenpassing to Lie groups to finally arrive at the polycyclic-by-finite group level. To be more precise,we first show how a general solvable Lie algebra can be decomposed into a sum of two nilpotentsubalgebras. Using this result, we construct, for any simply connected, connected solvable Lie groupG of dim n, a simply transitive action on R ⁿ which is polynomial and of degree n³. Finally, we show the existence of a polynomial structure on any polycyclic-by-finite group , which is of degree h()³ on almost the entire group (h () being the Hirsch length of ).     

Wreath products and Kaluzhnin-Krasner embedding for Lie algebras

The wreath product of groups is one of basic constructions in group theory. We construct its analogue, a wreath product of Lie algebras.

Consider Lie algebras and over a field . Let be the universal enveloping algebra. Then has the natural structure of a Lie algebra, where the multiplication is defined via the comultiplication in . Also, acts by derivations on via the (left) coregular action. The semidirect sum we call the wreath product and denote by . As a main result, we prove that an arbitrary extension of Lie algebras can be embedded into the wreath product .

Normalization in Lie algebras via mould calculus and applications

We establish Écalle’s mould calculus in an abstract Lie-theoretic setting and use it to solve a normalization problem, which covers several formal normal form problems in the theory of dynamical systems. The mould formalism allows us to reduce the Lie-theoretic problem to a mould equation, the solutions of which are remarkably explicit and can be fully described by means of a gauge transformation group. The dynamical applications include the construction of Poincaré–Dulac formal normal forms for a vector field around an equilibrium point, a formal infinite-order multiphase averaging procedure for vector fields with fast angular variables (Hamiltonian or not), or the construction of Birkhoff normal forms both in classical and quantum situations. As a by-product we obtain, in the case of harmonic oscillators, the convergence of the quantum Birkhoff form to the classical one, without any Diophantine hypothesis on the frequencies of the unperturbed Hamiltonians.     

On embeddings of some quotient algebras of free sums of Lie algebras

Let (B _i ) _i∈I be a set of Lie algebras; let X be a free Lie algebra; let * X be their free sum; let R be an ideal of F such that R ⋂ B _i = 1 (i ∈ I); let V be a variety of Lie algebras such that V(R) is an ideal of F. Under some restrictions, we construct an embedding of F/V(R) into the verbal wreath product of a free algebra of the variety V with F/R. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 10, No. 4, pp. 235–241, 2004.
