Lie superalgebras whose enveloping algebras satisfy a non-matrix polynomial identity

Let L be a Lie superalgebra with its enveloping algebra U(L) over a field F. A polynomial identity is called non-matrix if it is not satisfied by the algebra of 2×2 matrices over F. We characterize L when U(L) satisfies a non-matrix polynomial identity. We also characterize L when U(L) is Lie solvable, Lie nilpotent, or Lie super-nilpotent.     

Cohomology and Support Varieties for Restricted Lie Superalgebras

Let $(\mathfrak{g}, [p]) $ be a restricted Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p?>?2. Let $\mathfrak{u}(\mathfrak{g})$ denote the restricted enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{g}$ . In this paper we prove that the cohomology ring $\operatorname{H}^\bullet(\mathfrak{u}(\mathfrak{g}), k)$ is finitely generated. This allows one to define support varieties for finite dimensional $\mathfrak{u}(\mathfrak{g})$ -supermodules. We also show that support varieties for finite dimensional $\mathfrak{u}(\mathfrak{g})$ - supermodules satisfy the desirable properties of a support variety theory.     

Derivations for even part of finite-dimensional modular Lie superalgebra \tilde \Omega

Y. Z. Zhang and Q. C. Zhang [J. Algebra, 2009, 321: 3601?C3619] constructed a new family of finite-dimensional modular Lie superalgebra $\tilde \Omega $ . Let ?? denote the even part of the Lie superalgebra $\tilde \Omega $ .We first give the generator sets of the Lie algebra ??. Then, we reduce the derivation of ?? to a certain form. With the reduced derivation and a torus of ??, we determine the derivation algebra of ??.     

A construction of cylindric and polyadic algebras from atomic relation algebras

Given a simple atomic relation algebra ${\mathcal{A}}$ and a finite n ?? 3, we construct effectively an atomic n-dimensional polyadic equality-type algebra ${\mathcal{P}}$ such that for any subsignature L of the signature of ${\mathcal{P}}$ that contains the boolean operations and cylindrifications, the L-reduct of ${\mathcal{P}}$ is completely representable if and only if ${\mathcal{A}}$ is completely representable. If ${\mathcal{A}}$ is finite then so is ${\mathcal{P}}$ . It follows that there is no algorithm to determine whether a finite n-dimensional cylindric algebra, diagonal-free cylindric algebra, polyadic algebra, or polyadic equality algebra is representable (for diagonal-free algebras this was known). We also obtain a new proof that the classes of completely representable n-dimensional algebras of these types are non-elementary, a result that remains true for infinite dimensions if the diagonals are present, and also for infinite-dimensional diagonal-free cylindric algebras.     

Between\widehat{gl}(\infty ) and\widehat{sl}_N affine algebras. I. Geometrical actions

We consider the central extended $\widehat{gl}(\infty )$ Lie algebra and a set of its subalgebras parametrized by |q|=1, which coincides with the embedding of the quantum tori Lie algebras (QTLA) in $\widehat{gl}(\infty )$ . Forq ^N=1 there exists an ideal, and a factor over this ideal is isomorphic to an $\widehat{sl}_{N(z)} $ affine algebra. For a generic valueq the corresponding subalgebras are dense in $\widehat{gl}(\infty )$ . Thus, they interpolate between $\widehat{gl}(\infty )$ and $\widehat{sl}_{N(z)} $ . All these subalgebras are fixed points of automorphism of $\widehat{gl}(\infty )$ . Using the automorphisms, we construct geometrical actions for the subalgebras, starting from the Kirillov-Kostant form and the corresponding geometrical action for $\widehat{gl}(\infty )$ .     

Equivariant map superalgebras

Suppose a group $\Gamma $ acts on a scheme $X$ and a Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak {g}$ . The corresponding equivariant map superalgebra is the Lie superalgebra of equivariant regular maps from $X$ to $\mathfrak {g}$ . We classify the irreducible finite dimensional modules for these superalgebras under the assumptions that the coordinate ring of $X$ is finitely generated, $\Gamma $ is finite abelian and acts freely on the rational points of $X$ , and $\mathfrak {g}$ is a basic classical Lie superalgebra (or $\mathfrak {sl}\,(n,n)$ , $n \ge 1$ , if $\Gamma $ is trivial). We show that they are all (tensor products of) generalized evaluation modules and are parameterized by a certain set of equivariant finitely supported maps defined on $X$ . Furthermore, in the case that the even part of $\mathfrak {g}$ is semisimple, we show that all such modules are in fact (tensor products of) evaluation modules. On the other hand, if the even part of $\mathfrak {g}$ is not semisimple (more generally, if $\mathfrak {g}$ is of type I), we introduce a natural generalization of Kac modules and show that all irreducible finite dimensional modules are quotients of these. As a special case, our results give the first classification of the irreducible finite dimensional modules for twisted loop superalgebras.     

Wide Subalgebras of Semisimple Lie Algebras

Let G be a connected semisimple algebraic group over \({\mathbb C}\) , with Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}\) . Let \({\mathfrak h}\) be a subalgebra of \({\mathfrak g}\) . A simple finite-dimensional \({\mathfrak g}\) -module \({\mathbb V}\) is said to be \({\mathfrak h}\) -indecomposable if it cannot be written as a direct sum of two proper \({\mathfrak h}\) -submodules. We say that \({\mathfrak h}\) is wide, if all simple finite-dimensional \({\mathfrak g}\) -modules are \({\mathfrak h}\) -indecomposable. Some very special examples of indecomposable modules and wide subalgebras appear recently in the literature. In this paper, we describe several large classes of wide subalgebras of \({\mathfrak g}\) and initiate their systematic study. Our approach is based on the study of idempotents in the associative algebra of \({\mathfrak h}\) -invariant endomorphisms of \({\mathbb V}\) . We also discuss a relationship between wide subalgebras and epimorphic subgroups.     

Maximal Abelian Dimensions in Some Families of Nilpotent Lie Algebras

This paper deals with the maximal abelian dimension of a Lie algebra, that is, the maximal value for the dimensions of its abelian Lie subalgebras. Indeed, we compute the maximal abelian dimension for every nilpotent Lie algebra of dimension less than 7 and for the Heisenberg algebra $\mathfrak{H}_k$ , with $k\in\mathbb{N}$ . In this way, an algorithmic procedure is introduced and applied to compute the maximal abelian dimension for any arbitrary nilpotent Lie algebra with an arbitrary dimension. The maximal abelian dimension is also given for some general families of nilpotent Lie algebras.     

Varieties generated by modes of submodes

In a natural way, we can ??lift?? any operation defined on a set A to an operation on the set of all non-empty subsets of A and obtain from any algebra ( ${A, \Omega}$ ) its power algebra of subsets. G. Gr?tzer and H. Lakser proved that for a variety ${\mathcal{V}}$ , the variety ${\mathcal{V}\Sigma}$ generated by power algebras of algebras in ${\mathcal{V}}$ satisfies precisely the consequences of the linear identities true in ${\mathcal{V}}$ . For certain types of algebras, the sets of their subalgebras form subalgebras of their power algebras. They are called the algebras of subalgebras. In this paper, we partially solve a long-standing problem concerning identities satisfied by the variety ${\mathcal{VS}}$ generated by algebras of subalgebras of algebras in a given variety ${\mathcal{V}}$ . We prove that if a variety ${\mathcal{V}}$ is idempotent and entropic and the variety ${\mathcal{V}\Sigma}$ is locally finite, then the variety ${\mathcal{VS}}$ is defined by the idempotent and linear identities true in ${\mathcal{V}}$ .     

On complex lie supergroups and split homogeneous supermanifolds

It is well known that the category of real Lie supergroups is equivalent to the category of the so-called (real) Harish-Chandra pairs, see [DM], [Kost], [Kosz]. That means that a Lie supergroup depends only on the underlying Lie group and its Lie superalgebra with certain compatibility conditions. More precisely, the structure sheaf of a Lie supergroup and the supergroup morphisms can be explicitly described in terms of the corresponding Lie superalgebra. In this paper we give a proof of this result in the complex-analytic case. Furthermore, if (G, $ \mathcal{O} $ _G ) is a complex Lie supergroup and H ? G is a closed Lie subgroup, i.e., it is a Lie subsupergroup of (G, $ \mathcal{O} $ _G ) and its odd dimension is zero, we show that the corresponding homogeneous supermanifold (G/H, $ \mathcal{O} $ _G/H ) is split. In particular, any complex Lie supergroup is a split supermanifold. It is well known that a complex homogeneous supermanifold may be nonsplit (see, e.g., [OS1]). We find here necessary and sufficient conditions for a complex homogeneous supermanifold to be split.     

A Characterization of Lie Algebras of Skew-Symmetric Elements

A characterization of Lie algebras of skew-symmetric elements of associative algebras with involution is obtained. It is proved that a Lie algebra L is isomorphic to a Lie algebra of skew-symmetric elements of an associative algebra with involution if and only if L admits an additional (Jordan) trilinear operation {x,y,z} that satisfies the identities $$\{x,y,z\}=\{z,y,x\},$$ $$[[x,y],z]=\{x,y,z\}-\{y,x,z\},$$ $$[\{x,y,z\},t]=\{[x,t],y,z\}+\{x,[y,t],z\}+\{x,y,[z,t]\},$$ $$\{\{x,y,z\},t,v\}=\{\{x,t,v\},y,z\}-\{x,\{y,v,t\},z\}+\{x,y,\{z,t,v\}\},$$ where [x,y] stands for the multiplication in L.     

Special odd Lie superalgebras in prime characteristic

Let g be a finite dimensional special odd Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p > 3.The sufficient and necessary condition is given for g possessing a nondegenerate associative form and in this case the second cohomology group H 2 (g,F) is completely determined.     

The argument shift method and the Gaudin model

We construct a family of maximal commutative subalgebras in the tensor product of n copies of the universal enveloping algebra U ( ) of a semisimple Lie algebra . This family is parameterized by finite sequences μ, z ₁, ..., z _n , where μ ∈ ^* and z _i ∈ ℂ. The construction presented here generalizes the famous construction of the higher Gaudin Hamiltonians due to Feigin, Frenkel, and Reshetikhin. For n = 1, the corresponding commutative subalgebras in the Poisson algebra S( ) were obtained by Mishchenko and Fomenko with the help of the argument shift method. For commutative algebras of our family, we establish a connection between their representations in the tensor products of finite-dimensional -modules and the Gaudin model. __________ Translated from Funktsional’nyi Analiz i Ego Prilozheniya, Vol. 40, No. 3, pp. 30–43, 2006 Original Russian Text Copyright ? by L.

Enumeration of maximal subalgebras in free restricted lie algebras

Given a finitely generated restricted Lie algebra L over the finite field \(\mathbb{F}_q \), and n ≥ 0, denote by a _n (L) the number of restricted subalgebras H ? L with \(\dim _{\mathbb{F} _q} \) L/H = n. Denote by ã _n (L) the number of the subalgebras satisfying the maximality condition as well. Considering the free restricted Lie algebra L = F _d of rank d ≥ 2, we find the asymptotics of ã _n (F _d ) and show that it coincides with the asymptotics of a _n (F _d ) which was found previously by the first author. Our approach is based on studying the actions of restricted algebras by derivations on the truncated polynomial rings. We establish that the maximal subalgebras correspond to the so-called primitive actions. This means that “almost all” restricted subalgebras H ? F _d of finite codimension are maximal, which is analogous to the corresponding results for free groups and free associative algebras.     

An Elemental Characterization of Orthogonal Ideals in Lie Algebras

In this paper, we prove that the ideals generated by two elements x, y in a nondegenerate Lie algebra L over a ring of scalars Φ with \({\frac 1 2, \frac 1 3}\) are orthogonal if and only if [x, [y, L]] = 0.     

Special symplectic Lie groups and hypersymplectic Lie groups

A special symplectic Lie group is a triple ${(G,\omega,\nabla)}$ such that G is a finite-dimensional real Lie group and ω is a left invariant symplectic form on G which is parallel with respect to a left invariant affine structure ${\nabla}$ . In this paper starting from a special symplectic Lie group we show how to “deform” the standard Lie group structure on the (co)tangent bundle through the left invariant affine structure ${\nabla}$ such that the resulting Lie group admits families of left invariant hypersymplectic structures and thus becomes a hypersymplectic Lie group. We consider the affine cotangent extension problem and then introduce notions of post-affine structure and post-left-symmetric algebra which is the underlying algebraic structure of a special symplectic Lie algebra. Furthermore, we give a kind of double extensions of special symplectic Lie groups in terms of post-left-symmetric algebras.     

Invariants of Lie superalgebras acting on associative algebras

LetR be a semiprime algebra over a fieldK acted on by a finite-dimensional Lie superalgebraL. The purpose of this paper is to prove a series of going-up results showing how the structure of the subalgebra of invariantsR ^Lis related to that ofR. Combining several of our main results we have: Theorem: Let R be a semiprime K-algebra acted on by a finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie superalgebra L such that if characteristic K=p then L is restricted and if characteristic, K=0 then L acts on R as algebraic derivations and algebraic superderivations.

1. If R^L is right Noetherian, then R is a Noetherian right R^L-module. In particular, R is right Noetherian and is a finitely generated right R^L-module.
2. If R^L is right Artinian, then R is an Artinian right R^L-module. In particular, R is right Artinian and is a finitely generated right R^L-module.
3. If R^L is finite-dimensional over K then R is also finite-dimensional over K.
4. If R^L has finite Goldie dimension as a right R^L-module, then R has finite Goldie dimension as a right R-module.
5. If R^L has Krull dimension α as a right R^L-module, then R has Krull dimension α as a right R^L-module. Thus R has Krull dimension at most α as a right R-module.
6. If R is prime and R^L is central, then R satisfies a polynomial identity.
7. If L is a Lie algebra and R^L is central, then R satisfies a polynomial identity.

We also provide counterexamples to many questions which arise in view of the results in this paper.     

Supports of (\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k})-modules of finite type

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semisimple Lie algebra and $\mathfrak{k}$ be a reductive subalgebra in $\mathfrak{g}$ . We say that a $\mathfrak{g}$ -module M is a $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k})$ -module if M, considered as a $\mathfrak{k}$ -module, is a direct sum of finite-dimensional $\mathfrak{k}$ -modules. We say that a $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k})$ -module M is of finite type if all $\mathfrak{k}$ -isotopic components of M are finite-dimensional. In this paper we prove that any simple $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k})$ -module of finite type is holonomic. A simple $\mathfrak{g}$ -module M is associated with the invariants V(M), V(LocM), and L(M) reflecting the ??directions of growth of M.?? We also prove that for a given pair $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k})$ the set of possible invariants is finite.     

Primordials and primordial Lie algebras

Primordials ${d \in \mathcal{P}}$ are generalizations of ordinals ${\sigma \in \mathcal{O}}$ . Primordials are governed by their succession and precession. Primordials with their succession and precession are of interest in their own right. Remarkably, they also lead directly to certain primordial Lie algebras of set theory. Among these is the large primordial Lie algebra of set theory, whose basis is a class and not a set. The large primordial Lie algebra of set theory generalizes naturally to the large primordial Lie algebras of characteristic p ≥ 2. The simple primordial Lie algebras are the natural primordial Lie algebra ${\mathcal{L}^\natural}$ , the free primordial Lie algebras ${\mathcal{L}^c}$ for r ≥ 1 and r-tuples C of denumerable sequences C _j (1 ≤ j ≤ r) of elements of k, and, for p?>?2, the normal sub Lie algebras of the ${\mathcal{L}^\natural,\mathcal{L}^c}$ as well. The split simple primordial Lie algebras are the Lie algebras L of type W—those which may be built directly from the natural primordial Lie algebra ${\mathcal{L}^\natural}$ —except when p = 2 and L is not free. Consequently, they are, up to isomorphism, the purely inseparable forms of the finite and infinite dimensional Lie algebras of type W. This sheds new light on, and adds interest to, the structure of these purely inseparable forms.
