The Grunewald–O'Halloran Conjecture for Nilpotent Lie Algebras of Rank ≥1

Grunewald and O'Halloran conjectured in 1993 that every complex nilpotent Lie algebra is the degeneration of another, nonisomorphic, Lie algebra. We prove the conjecture for the class of nilpotent Lie algebras admitting a semisimple derivation, and also for 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras. The conjecture remains open for characteristically nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension grater than or equal to 8.     

关于李三代数的幂零性

In this paper, we mainly concerned about the nilpotence of Lie triple algebras. We give the definition of nilpotence of the Lie triple algebra and obtained that if Lie triple algebra is nilpotent, then its standard enveloping Lie algebra is nilpotent.     

Quasinilpotent Operators in Operator Lie Algebras

It is proved that the nilpotent Lie algebra generated by a family of decomposable operators generates an Engel- Banach algebra. We also proved that if a Lie algebra of quasinilpotent operators is essentially nilpotent, then the Banach algebra generated by this Lie algebra consists of quasinilpotent operators.

The Paley–Wiener theorem for certain nilpotent Lie groupsJean

We generalize the classical Paley–Wiener theorem to special types of connected, simply connected, nilpotent Lie groups: First we consider nilpotent Lie groups whose Lie algebra admits an ideal which is a polarization for a dense subset of generic linear forms on the Lie algebra. Then we consider nilpotent Lie groups such that the co-adjoint orbits of all the elements of a dense subset of the dual of the Lie algebra 𝔤^* are flat (© 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

A Characterisation of Nilpotent Lie Algebras by Invertible Leibniz-Derivations

Jacobson proved that if a Lie algebra admits an invertible derivation, it must be nilpotent. He also suspected, though incorrectly, that the converse might be true: that every nilpotent Lie algebra has an invertible derivation. We prove that a Lie algebra is nilpotent if and only if it admits an invertible Leibniz-derivation. The proofs are elementary in nature and are based on well-known techniques. We only consider finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a fields of characteristic zero.     

Einstein solvmanifolds attached to two-step nilradicals

A Riemannian Einstein solvmanifold (possibly, any noncompact homogeneous Einstein space) is almost completely determined by the nilradical of its Lie algebra. A nilpotent Lie algebra which can serve as the nilradical of an Einstein metric solvable Lie algebra is called an Einstein nilradical. We give a classification of two-step nilpotent Einstein nilradicals with two-dimensional center. Informally, the defining matrix pencil must have no nilpotent blocks in the canonical form and no elementary divisors of a very high multiplicity. We also show that the dual to a two-step Einstein nilradical is not in general an Einstein nilradical.     

Derivation Algebra of Quasi $R_n$-Filiform Lie Algebra

In this paper we explicitly determine the derivation algebra of a quasi $R_n$-filiform Lie algebra and prove that a quasi $R_n$-filiform Lie algebra is a completable nilpotent Lie algebra.     

Formality in generalized Kähler geometry

We prove that no nilpotent Lie algebra admits an invariant generalized Kähler structure. This is done by showing that a certain differential graded algebra associated to a generalized complex manifold is formal in the generalized Kähler case, while it is never formal for a generalized complex structure on a nilpotent Lie algebra.     

DEGENERATIONS OF 7-DIMENSIONAL NILPOTENT LIE ALGEBRAS

ABSTRACT

We study the varieties of Lie algebra laws and their subvarieties of nilpotent Lie algebra laws. We classify all degenerations of (almost all) five-step and six-step nilpotent seven-dimensional complex Lie algebras. One of the main tools is the use of trivial and adjoint cohomology of these algebras. In addition, we give some new results on the varieties of complex Lie algebra laws in low dimension.     

DERIVATIONS ON DIFFERENTIAL OPERATOR ALGEBRA AND WEYL ALGEBRA

Let L be an n-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra with a basis {x1,…,xn}, and every xiacts as a locally nilpotent derivation on algebra A. This paper shows that there exists a setof derivations {y1,…,yn} on U(L) such that (A#U(L))#k[yi,…,yn] is isomorphic to theWeyl algebra An(A). The author also uses the derivations to obtain a necessary and sufficientcondition for a finite dimensional Lie algebra to be nilpotent.     

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.     

Novikov algebras and Novikov structures on Lie algebras

We study ideals of Novikov algebras and Novikov structures on finite-dimensional Lie algebras. We present the first example of a three-step nilpotent Lie algebra which does not admit a Novikov structure. On the other hand we show that any free three-step nilpotent Lie algebra admits a Novikov structure. We study the existence question also for Lie algebras of triangular matrices. Finally we show that there are families of Lie algebras of arbitrary high solvability class which admit Novikov structures.     

Finite vertex algebras and nilpotence

I show that simple finite vertex algebras are commutative, and that the Lie conformal algebra structure underlying a reduced (= without nilpotent elements) finite vertex algebra is nilpotent.     

Lie structure of smash products

We investigate the conditions under which the smash product of an (ordinary or restricted) enveloping algebra and a group algebra is Lie solvable or Lie nilpotent.     

Determination of 7-Dimensional Indecomposable Nilpotent Complex Lie Algebras by Adjoining a Derivation to 6-Dimensional Lie Algebras

For any complex 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra \mathfrakg,\mathfrak{g}, we compute the strain of all indecomposable 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras which contain \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g} by the adjoining a derivation method. We get a new determination of all 7-dimensional complex nilpotent Lie algebras, allowing to check earlier results (some contain errors), along with a cross table intertwining nilpotent 6- and 7-dimensional Lie algebras.

On Anosov automorphisms of nilmanifolds

The only known examples of Anosov diffeomorphisms are hyperbolic automorphisms of infranilmanifolds, and the existence of such automorphisms is a really strong condition on the rational nilpotent Lie algebra determined by the lattice, so called an Anosov Lie algebra. We prove that n⊕?⊕n (s times, s≥2) has an Anosov rational form for any graded real nilpotent Lie algebra n having a rational form. We also obtain some obstructions for the types of nilpotent Lie algebras allowed, and use the fact that the eigenvalues of the automorphism are algebraic integers (even units) to show that the types (5,3) and (3,3,2) are not possible for Anosov Lie algebras.     

Negative eigenvalues of the Ricci operator of solvable metric Lie algebras

In this paper we get a necessary and sufficient condition for the Ricci operator of a solvable metric Lie algebra to have at least two negative eigenvalues. In particular, this condition implies that the Ricci operator of every non-unimodular solvable metric Lie algebra or every non-abelian nilpotent metric Lie algebra has this property.     

Nilmanifolds with a calibrated G2-structure

We introduce obstructions to the existence of a calibrated G₂-structure on a Lie algebra g of dimension seven, not necessarily nilpotent. In particular, we prove that if there is a Lie algebra epimorphism from g to a six-dimensional Lie algebra h with kernel contained in the center of g, then h has a symplectic form. As a consequence, we obtain a classification of the nilpotent Lie algebras that admit a calibrated G₂-structure.
