c-Graded filiform Lie algebras

In this paper we generalize naturally graded filiform Lie algebras as well as filiform Lie algebras admitting a connected gradation of maximal length, by introducing the concept of c-graded complex filiform Lie algebras. We deal with the particular case of 3-graded filiform Lie algebras and we obtain their classification in arbitrary dimension. We finally show a link among derived algebras, graded filiform and rigid solvable Lie algebras.     

Balanced Hermitian structures on almost abelian Lie algebras

We study balanced Hermitian structures on almost abelian Lie algebras, i.e. on Lie algebras with a codimension-one abelian ideal. In particular, we classify six-dimensional almost abelian Lie algebras which carry a balanced structure. It has been conjectured in [1] that a compact complex manifold admitting both a balanced metric and an SKT metric necessarily has a Kähler metric: we prove this conjecture for compact almost abelian solvmanifolds with left-invariant complex structures. Moreover, we investigate the behaviour of the flow of balanced metrics introduced in [2] and of the anomaly flow [3] on almost abelian Lie groups. In particular, we show that the anomaly flow preserves the balanced condition and that locally conformally Kähler metrics are fixed points.     

Domestic canonical algebras and simple Lie algebras

For each simply-laced Dynkin graph Δ we realize the simple complex Lie algebra of type Δ as a quotient algebra of the complex degenerate composition Lie algebra of a domestic canonical algebra A of type Δ by some ideal I of that is defined via the Hall algebra of A, and give an explicit form of I. Moreover, we show that each root space of has a basis given by the coset of an indecomposable A-module M with root easily computed by the dimension vector of M.

On split Lie algebras with symmetric root systems

We develop techniques of connections of roots for split Lie algebras with symmetric root systems. We show that any of such algebras L is of the form L = + Σ _j I _j with a subspace of the abelian Lie algebra H and any I _j a well described ideal of L, satisfying [I _j , I _k ] = 0 if j ≠ k. Under certain conditions, the simplicity of L is characterized and it is shown that L is the direct sum of the family of its minimal ideals, each one being a simple split Lie algebra with a symmetric root system and having all its nonzero roots connected.     

Double Frobenius algebras

Some equivalent conditions for double Frobenius algebras to be strict ones are given. Then some examples of (strict or non-strict) double Frobenius algebras are presented. Finally, a sufficient and necessary condition for the trivial extension of a double Frobenius algebra to be a (strict) double Frobenius algebra is given.     

Graded Lie algebras with few nontrivial components

We prove that if a (?/n?)-graded Lie algebra L = ? _i=0 ^n?1 L _i has d nontrivial components L _i and the null component L ₀ has finite dimension m, then L has a homogeneous solvable ideal of derived length bounded by a function of d and of codimension bounded by a function of m and d. An analogous result holds also for the (?/n?)-graded Lie rings L = ? _i=0 ^n?1 with few nontrivial components L _i if the null component L ₀ has finite order m. These results generalize Kreknin’s theorem on the solvability of the (?/n?)-graded Lie rings L = ? _i=0 ^n?1 L _i with trivial component L ₀ and Shalev’s theorem on the solvability of such Lie rings with few nontrivial components L _i . The proof is based on the method of generalized centralizers which was created by E. I. Khukhro for Lie rings and nilpotent groups with almost regular automorphisms of prime order [1], as well as on the technique developed in the work of N. Yu. Makarenko and E. I. Khukhro on the almost solvability of Lie algebras with an almost regular automorphism of finite order [2].     

Banach Lie algebras with Lie subalgebras of finite codimension: Their invariant subspaces and Lie ideals

The paper studies the existence of closed invariant subspaces for a Lie algebra L of bounded operators on an infinite-dimensional Banach space X. It is assumed that L contains a Lie subalgebra L₀ that has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace in X of finite codimension or dimension. It is proved that L itself has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace in the following two cases: (1) L₀ has finite codimension in L and there are Lie subalgebras L₀=L⁰⊂L¹⊂?⊂Lp=L such that Li+1=Li+[Li,Li+1] for all i; (2) L₀ is a Lie ideal of L and dim(L₀)=∞. These results are applied to the problem of the existence of non-trivial closed Lie ideals and closed characteristic Lie ideals in an infinite-dimensional Banach Lie algebra L that contains a non-trivial closed Lie subalgebra of finite codimension.     

Positive definite Minkowski Lie algebras and bi-invariant Finsler metrics on Lie groups

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a Minkowski Lie algebra, which is the natural generalization of the notion of a real quadratic Lie algebra (metric Lie algebra). We then study the positive definite Minkowski Lie algebras and obtain a complete classification of the simple ones. Finally, we present some applications of our results to Finsler geometry and give a classification of bi-invariant Finsler metrics on Lie groups. This work was supported by NSFC (No.10671096) and NCET of China.     

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.     

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.

Morphism spaces in stable categories of Frobenius algebras

We present an explicit formula computing morphism spaces in the stable category of a Frobenius algebra.     

Lie isomorphisms of reflexive algebras

A Lie isomorphism ? between algebras is called trivial if ?=ψ+τ, where ψ is an (algebraic) isomorphism or a negative of an (algebraic) anti-isomorphism, and τ is a linear map with image in the center vanishing on each commutator. In this paper, we investigate the conditions for the triviality of Lie isomorphisms from reflexive algebras with completely distributive and commutative lattices (CDCSL). In particular, we prove that a Lie isomorphism between irreducible CDCSL algebras is trivial if and only if it preserves I-idempotent operators (the sum of an idempotent and a scalar multiple of the identity) in both directions. We also prove the triviality of each Lie isomorphism from a CDCSL algebra onto a CSL algebra which has a comparable invariant projection with rank and corank not one. Some examples of Lie isomorphisms are presented to show the sharpness of the conditions.     

Hopf modules,Frobenius functors and (one-sided) Hopf algebras

We investigate the property of being Frobenius for some functors strictly related with Hopf modules over a bialgebra and how this property reflects on the latter. In particular, we characterize one-sided Hopf algebras with anti-(co)multiplicative one-sided antipode as those for which the free Hopf module functor is Frobenius. As a by-product, this leads us to relate the property of being an FH-algebra (in the sense of Pareigis) for a given bialgebra with the property of being Frobenius for certain naturally associated functors.     

Flat Nonunimodular Lorentzian Lie Algebras

A flat Lorentzian Lie algebra is a left symmetric algebra endowed with a symmetric bilinear form of signature (?, +,…, +) such that left multiplications are skew-symmetric. In geometrical terms, a flat Lorentzian Lie algebra is the Lie algebra of a Lie group with a left-invariant Lorentzian metric with vanishing curvature. In this article, we show that any flat nonunimodular Lorentzian Lie algebras can be obtained as a double extension of flat Riemannian Lie algebras. As an application, we give all flat nonunimodular Lorentzian Lie algebras up to dimension 4.
