Restricted Lie algebras all whose elements are semisimple

People studied the properties and structures of restricted Lie algebras all whose elements are semisimple. It is the main objective of this paper to continue the investigation in order to obtain deeper structure theorems. We obtain some sufficient conditions for the commutativity of restricted Lie algebras, generalize some results of R. Farnsteiner and characterize some properties of a finite-dimensional semisimple restricted Lie algebra all whose elements are semisimple. Moreover, we show that a centralsimple restricted Lie algebra all whose elements are semisimple over a field of characteristic p > 7 is a form of a classical Lie algebra.     

Splints of classical root systems

We define and classify splints of root systems of complex semisimple Lie algebras. In a few instances, splints play a role in determining branching rules of a module over a complex semisimple Lie algebra when restricted to a subalgebra. In these particular cases, the set of submodules with respect to the subalgebra themselves may be regarded as the character of an auxiliary Lie algebra which may or may not be another Lie subalgebra.     

On the codimension growth of almost nilpotent Lie algebras

We study codimension growth of infinite dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that if a Lie algebra L is an extension of a nilpotent algebra by a finite dimensional semisimple algebra then the PI-exponent of L exists and is a positive integer.     

On the Semisimplicity of the Outer Derivations of Monomial Algebras

We show that the Hochschild cohomology of a monomial algebra over a field of characteristic zero vanishes from degree two if the first Hochschild cohomology is semisimple as a Lie algebra. We also prove that first Hochschild cohomology of a radical square zero algebra is reductive as a Lie algebra. In the case of the multiple loops quiver, we obtain the Lie algebra of square matrices of size equal to the number of loops.     

Invariant Lie Algebras and Lie Algebras with a Small Centroid

A subalgebra of a Lie algebra is said to be invariant if it is invariant under the action of some Cartan subalgebra of that algebra. A known theorem of Melville says that a nilpotent invariant subalgebra of a finite-dimensional semisimple complex Lie algebra has a small centroid. The notion of a Lie algebra with small centroid extends to a class of all finite-dimensional algebras. For finite-dimensional algebras of zero characteristic with semisimple derivations in a sufficiently broad class, their centroid is proved small. As a consequence, it turns out that every invariant subalgebra of a finite-dimensional reductive Lie algebra over an arbitrary definition field of zero characteristic has a small centroid.     

The composition series of modules induced from Whittaker modules

We study a category of representations over a semisimple Lie algebra, which contains category as well as the so-called Whittaker modules, and prove a generalization of the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjectures in this context. Received: January 15, 1996     

On the volume of orbifold quotients of symmetric spaces

Key to H. C. Wang's quantitative study of Zassenhaus neighbourhoods of non-compact semisimple Lie groups are two constants that depend on the root system of the corresponding Lie algebra. This article extends the list of values for Wang's constants to the exceptional Lie groups and also removes their dependence on dimension. The first application is an improved upper sectional curvature bound for a canonical left-invariant metric on a semisimple Lie group. The second application is an explicit uniform positive lower bound for arbitrary orbifold quotients of a given irreducible symmetric space of non-compact type.     

The coradical filtration of U q(g)at roots of unity

We compute the coradical filtration and the group of Hopf algebra automorphisms of the non-restricted specialization of the quantized universal enveloping algebra of a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra.     

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.     

INTERSECTION COHOMOLOGY AND LIE ALGEBRA HOMOLOGY

For a semisimple algebraic group G over C, we try to make a comparative study between intersection cohomology of Schubert varieties and Lie algebra homology of certain nilpotent Lie algebras. We prove that when all simple factors of G are simply laced, these two are the same as vector spaces over C at the first homology level. We give counter-examples in the general case and state a conjecture as a possible direction for generalisation.     

Classical and Exceptional Root Systems and Quantizations

We present a method for quantizing semisimple Lie algebras. In Huru (Russ. Math. [2007]) we defined quantizations of the braided Lie algebra structure on a finite dimensional graded vector space V by quantizations of braided derivations on the exterior algebra of V ^* . We find quantizations of semisimple Lie algebras in this setting using the grading by their roots and shall go through all root systems, classical and exceptional.

Based algebras and standard bases for quasi-hereditary algebras

Quasi-hereditary algebras can be viewed as a Lie theory approach to the theory of finite dimensional algebras. Motivated by the existence of certain nice bases for representations of semisimple Lie algebras and algebraic groups, we will construct in this paper nice bases for (split) quasi-hereditary algebras and characterize them using these bases. We first introduce the notion of a standardly based algebra, which is a generalized version of a cellular algebra introduced by Graham and Lehrer, and discuss their representation theory. The main result is that an algebra over a commutative local noetherian ring with finite rank is split quasi-hereditary if and only if it is standardly full-based. As an application, we will give an elementary proof of the fact that split symmetric algebras are not quasi-hereditary unless they are semisimple. Finally, some relations between standardly based algebras and cellular algebras are also discussed.     

A generalization of the category O of Bernstein–Gelfand–Gelfand

In the study of simple modules over a simple complex Lie algebra, Bernstein, Gelfand and Gelfand introduced a category of modules which provides a natural setting for highest weight modules. In this note, we define a family of categories which generalizes the BGG category. We classify the simple modules for some of these categories. As a consequence we show that these categories are semisimple.     

Invariant Differential Operators and FCR Factors of Enveloping Algebras

If  is a semisimple Lie algebra, we describe the prime factors of  () that have enough finite dimensional modules. The proof depends on some combinatorial facts about the Weyl group which may be of independent interest. We also determine, which finite dimensional  ()-modules are modules over a given prime factor. As an application we study finite dimensional modules over some rings of invariant differential operators arising from Howe duality.     

The isotropy subalgebra of the canonical 3-form of a semisimple Lie algebra

The isotropy subalgebra of the canonical 3-form of a semisimple Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero is computed. Its isotropy subgroup is also studied.     

Deformations of adjoint orbits for semisimple Lie algebras and Lagrangian submanifolds

We give a coadjoint orbit's diffeomorphic deformation between the classical semisimple case and the semi-direct product given by a Cartan decomposition. The two structures admit the Hermitian symplectic form defined in a semisimple complex Lie algebra. We provide some applications such as the constructions of Lagrangian submanifolds.     

The homology of the space of affine flags containing a nilpotent element

We show that the homology of the space of Iwahori subalgebras containing a nilpotent element of a split semisimple Lie algebra over is isomorphic to the homology of the entire affine flag manifold.

     

L'homologie cyclique des algèbres enveloppantes

Summary For any Lie algebra g, we compute the Hochschild and cyclic homology groups of its enveloping algebra in terms of the canonical Lie-Poisson structure on the dual g^*. We also discuss the collapsing of Connes spectral sequence for cyclic homology, particularly in the case of semisimple Lie algebras.
