The theory of infinite-dimensional lie groups and its applications

The purpose of this paper is to survey the theory of regular Fréchet-Lie groups developed in [1–10]. Such groups appear and are useful in symplectic geometry and the theory of primitive infinite groups of Lie and Cartan [11]. From the group theoretical standpoint, general relativistic mechanics is a more closed system than Newtonian mechanics. Quantized objects of these classical groups are closely related to the group of Fourier integral operators [12]. These can also be managed as regular Fréchet-Lie groups. However, there are many Fréchet-Lie algebras which are not the Lie algebras of regular Fréchet-Lie groups [13]. Thus, the enlargeability of the Poisson algebra is discussed in detail in this paper. Enlargeability is relevant to the global hypoellipticity [14, 15] of second-order differential operators.

Cartan matrices for restricted Lie algebras

Consider a finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra over a field of prime characteristic. Each linear form on this Lie algebra defines a finite dimensional quotient of its universal enveloping algebra, called a reduced enveloping algebra. This leads to a Cartan matrix recording the multiplicities as composition factors of the simple modules in the projective indecomposable modules for such a reduced enveloping algebra. In this paper we show how to compare such Cartan matrices belonging to distinct linear forms. As an application we rederive and generalise the reciprocity formula first discovered by Humphreys for Lie algebras of reductive groups. For simple Lie algebras of Cartan type we see, for example, that the Cartan matrices for linear forms of non-positive height are submatrices of the Cartan matrix for the zero linear form.     

Restricted Lie (Super)Algebras in Characteristic 3

We give explicit formulas proving that the following Lie (super)algebras are restricted: known exceptional simple vectorial Lie (super)algebras in characteristic 3, deformed Lie (super)algebras with indecomposable Cartan matrix, simple subquotients over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 3 of these (super)algebras (under certain conditions), and deformed divergence-free Lie superalgebras of a certain type with any finite number of indeterminates in any characteristic.     

Infinite-dimensional Lie algebras of generalized Block type

This paper investigates a class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic which are called here Lie algebras of generalized Block type, and which genereralize a class of Lie algebras originally defined by Richard Block. Under certain natural restrictions, this class of Lie algebras is shown to break into five subclasses. One of these subclasses contains all generalized Cartan type Lie algebras and some Lie algebras of generalized Cartan type , and a second one is the class of Lie algebras of type , which were previously defined and studied elsewhere by the authors. The other three types are hybrids of the first two types, and are new.

     

New simple modular Lie superalgebras as generalized prolongs

Over algebraically closed fields of characteristic p > 2, —prolongations of simple finite dimensional Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras with Cartan matrix are studied for certain simplest gradings of these algebras. We discover several new simple Lie superalgebras, serial and exceptional, including super versions of Brown and Melikyan algebras, and thus corroborate the super analog of the Kostrikin-Shafarevich conjecture. Simple Lie superalgebras with 2 × 2 Cartan matrices are classified.     

Generalized Poisson brackets and lie algebras of type H in characteristic 0

The Lie algebra of Cartan type H which occurs as a subalgebra of the Lie algebra of derivations of the polynomial algebra was generalized by the first author to a class which included a subalgebra of the derivations of the Laurent polynomials . We show in this paper that these generalizations of Cartan type H algebras are isomorphic to certain generalizations of the classical algebra of Poisson brackets, and that it can be generalized further. In turn, these algebras can be recast in a form that is an adaption of a class of Lie algebras of characteristic p that was defined in 1958 be R. Block. A further generalization of these algebras is the main topic of this paper. We show when these algebras are simple, find their derivations, and determine all possible isomorphisms between two of these algebras.

Blocks and modules for Whittaker pairs

Inspired by recent activities on Whittaker modules over various (Lie) algebras, we describe a general framework for the study of Lie algebra modules locally finite over a subalgebra. As a special case, we obtain a very general set-up for the study of Whittaker modules, which includes, in particular, Lie algebras with triangular decomposition and simple Lie algebras of Cartan type. We describe some basic properties of Whittaker modules, including a block decomposition of the category of Whittaker modules and certain properties of simple Whittaker modules under some rather mild assumptions. We establish a connection between our general set-up and the general set-up of Harish-Chandra subalgebras in the sense of Drozd, Futorny and Ovsienko. For Lie algebras with triangular decomposition, we construct a family of simple Whittaker modules (roughly depending on the choice of a pair of weights in the dual of the Cartan subalgebra), describe their annihilators, and formulate several classification conjectures. In particular, we construct some new simple Whittaker modules for the Virasoro algebra. Finally, we construct a series of simple Whittaker modules for the Lie algebra of derivations of the polynomial algebra, and consider several finite-dimensional examples, where we study the category of Whittaker modules over solvable Lie algebras and their relation to Koszul algebras.     

Conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras inn-Lie algebras

One of the most profound results in the theory of Lie algebras states that any two Cartan subalgebras of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 are conjugate relative to the group of special automorphisms generated by the exponents of nilpotent inner derivations. Using some new ideas, we prove an analog of this statement for n-ary n-Lie algebras. Other interesting properties of Cartan algebras, which are known to be shared by Lie algebras, are carried over to n-Lie algebras.Translated fromAlgebra i Logika, Vol. 34, No. 4, pp. 405–419, July-August, 1995.     

Non-degenerate Invariant (Super)Symmetric Bilinear Forms on Simple Lie (Super)Algebras

We review the list of non-degenerate invariant (super)symmetric bilinear forms (briefly: NIS) on the following simple (relatives of) Lie (super)algebras: (a) with symmetrizable Cartan matrix of any growth, (b) with non-symmetrizable Cartan matrix of polynomial growth, (c) Lie (super)algebras of vector fields with polynomial coefficients, (d) stringy a.k.a. superconformal superalgebras, (e) queerifications of simple restricted Lie algebras. Over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic, we establish when the deform (i.e., the result of deformation) of the known finite-dimensional simple Lie (super)algebra has a NIS. Amazingly, in most of the cases considered, if the Lie (super)algebra has a NIS, its deform has a NIS with the same Gram matrix after an identification of bases of the initial and deformed algebras. We do not consider odd parameters of deformations. Closely related with simple Lie (super)algebras with NIS is the notion of doubly extended Lie (super)algebras of which affine Kac–Moody (super)algebras are the most known examples.

Superderivation Algebras of Modular Lie Superalgebras of (O)-Type

The authors consider a family of finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras of O-type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 3. It is proved that the Lie superalgebras of O-type are simple and the spanning sets are determined. Then the spanning sets are employed to characterize the superderivation algebras of these Lie superalgebras. Finally, the associative forms are discussed and a comparison is made between these Lie superalgebras and other simple Lie superalgebras of Cartan type.     

Restricted Lie algebras with bounded cohomology and related classes of algebras

We determine the structure of restricted Lie algebras with bounded cohomology over arbitrary fields of prime characteristic. As a byproduct a classification of the serial restricted Lie algebras and the restricted Lie algebras of finite representation type is obtained. In addition, we derive complete information on the finite dimensional indecomposable restricted modules of these algebras over algebraically closed fields.     

Motivic zeta functions of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras

The paper shows how to associate a motivic zeta function with a large class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras. These include loop algebras, affine Kac-Moody algebras, the Virasoro algebra and Lie algebras of Cartan type. The concept of a motivic zeta functions provides a good language to talk about the uniformity in p of local p-adic zeta functions of finite dimensional Lie algebras. The theory of motivic integration is employed to prove the rationality of motivic zeta functions associated to certain classes of infinite dimensional Lie algebras.

The polynomial growth of colength of varieties of Lie algebras

It is proved that the colength of every API-variety of Lie algebras grows polynomially, and we give a number of examples in which the colength grows more rapidly than any polynomial function does. These indicate that for many of the important varieties of Lie algebras, such as varieties of solvable algebras of derived length 3, varieties generated by some infinite-dimensional simple algebras of Cartan type, or by certain Katz-Mudi algebras, the growth of colength will be superpolynomial.
