Polynomial identities of bicommutative algebras,Lie and Jordan elements

ABSTRACT

An algebra with identities a(bc)?=?b(ac), (ab)c?=?(ac)b is called bicommutative. We construct list of identities satisfied by commutator and anti-commutator products in a free bicommutative algebra. We give criterions for elements of a free bicommutative algebra to be Lie or Jordan.     

Linearly compact algebraic Lie algebras and coalgebraic Lie coalgebras

It is proved that if the dual Lie algebra of a Lie coalgebra is algebraic, then it is algebraic of bounded degree. This result is an analog of the D.Radford's result for associative coalgebras.

     

Lie Representations and an Algebra Containing Solomon's

We introduce and study a Hopf algebra containing the descent algebra as a sub-Hopf-algebra. It has the main algebraic properties of the descent algebra, and more: it is a sub-Hopf-algebra of the direct sum of the symmetric group algebras; it is closed under the corresponding inner product; it is cocommutative, so it is an enveloping algebra; it contains all Lie idempotents of the symmetric group algebras. Moreover, its primitive elements are exactly the Lie elements which lie in the symmetric group algebras.     

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.

     

Binary Lie algebras satisfying the third Engel condition

Let Φ be a unital associative commutative ring with 1/2. The local nilpotency is proved of binary Lie Φ-algebras satisfying the third Engel condition. Moreover, it is proved that this class of algebras does not contain semiprime algebras.     

Group Algebras Satisfying a Certain Lie Identity

ABSTRACT

Let K be a field of characteristic p ≠ 2 and let G be any group. A characterization of group algebras KG satisfying the Lie identity [[x,y],[u,v],[z,t]] = 0 for all x,y,u,v,z,t ? KG is obtained.     

A Generalization of Extended Affine Lie Algebras

We introduce a new class of possibly infinite dimensional Lie algebras and study their structural properties. Examples of this new class of Lie algebras are finite dimensional simple Lie algebras containing a nonzero split torus, affine and extended affine Lie algebras. Our results generalize well-known properties of these examples.     

Some Forms of Exceptional Lie Algebras

Some forms of Lie algebras of types E ₆, E ₇, and E ₈ are constructed using the exterior cube of a rank 9 finitely generated projective module.     

Lie triple derivations on nest algebras

Let δ be a Lie triple derivation from a nest algebra ?? into an ??‐bimodule ??. We show that if ?? is a weak* closed operator algebra containing ?? then there are an element S ∈ ?? and a linear functional f on ?? such that δ (A) = SA – AS + f (A)I for all A ∈ ??, and if ?? is the ideal of all compact operators then there is a compact operator K such that δ (A) = KA – AK for all A ∈ ??. As applications, Lie derivations and Jordan derivations on nest algebras are characterized. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

On Lie Algebra Crossed Modules

The goal of this article is to construct a crossed module representing the cocycle 〈[,],〉 generating H ³(;?) for a simple complex Lie algebra .     

The Jordan socle and finitary Lie algebras

In this paper we introduce the notion of Jordan socle for nondegenerate Lie algebras, which extends the definition of socle given in [A. Fernández López et al., 3-Graded Lie algebras with Jordan finiteness conditions, Comm. Algebra, in press] for 3-graded Lie algebras. Any nondegenerate Lie algebra with essential Jordan socle is an essential subdirect product of strongly prime ones having nonzero Jordan socle. These last algebras are described, up to exceptional cases, in terms of simple Lie algebras of finite rank operators and their algebras of derivations. When working with Lie algebras which are infinite dimensional over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, the exceptions disappear and the algebras of derivations are computed.     

Simple and semisimple Lie algebras and codimension growth

We study the exponential growth of the codimensions of a finite dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero. In the case when is semisimple we show that exists and, when is algebraically closed, is equal to the dimension of the largest simple summand of . As a result we characterize central-simplicity: is central simple if and only if .

     

Invertible Linear Maps on Simple Lie Algebras Preserving Solvability

Let 𝔤 be a (finite-dimensional) complex simple Lie algebra of rank l. An invertible linear map ? on 𝔤 is said to preserve solvability in both directions if ?, as well as ?^?1, sends every solvable subalgebra to some solvable one. In this article, it is shown that an invertible linear map ? on 𝔤 preserves solvability in both directions if and only if it can be decomposed into the product of an inner automorphism, a graph automorphism, a scalar multiplication map and a diagonal automorphism.     

Nil Lie p-algebras of slow growth

The Grigorchuk and Gupta-Sidki groups play fundamental role in modern group theory. They are natural examples of self-similar finitely generated periodic groups. The author constructed their analogue in case of restricted Lie algebras of characteristic 2 [27 Petrogradsky, V. M. (2006). Examples of self-iterating Lie algebras. J. Algebra 302(2):881–886.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], Shestakov and Zelmanov extended this construction to an arbitrary positive characteristic [39 Shestakov, I. P., Zelmanov, E. (2008). Some examples of nil Lie algebras. J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 10(2):391–398.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. There are a few more examples of self-similar finitely generated restricted Lie algebras with a nil p-mapping, but, as a rule, that algebras have no clear basis and require technical computations. Now we construct a family L(Ξ) of 2-generated restricted Lie algebras of slow polynomial growth with a nil p-mapping, where a field of positive characteristic is arbitrary and Ξ an infinite tuple of positive integers. Namely, GKdimL(Ξ)≤2 for all such algebras. The algebras are constructed in terms of derivations of infinite divided power algebra Ω. We also study their associative hulls A?End(Ω). Algebras L and A are ?²-graded by a multidegree in the generators. If Ξ is periodic then L(Ξ) is self-similar. As a particular case, we construct a continuum subfamily of non-isomorphic nil restricted Lie algebras L(Ξ_α), α∈?⁺, with extremely slow growth. Namely, they have Gelfand-Kirillov dimension one but the growth is not linear. For this subfamily, the associative hulls A have Gelfand-Kirillov dimension two but the growth is not quadratic. The virtue of the present examples is that they have clear monomial bases.     

Lie algebraic treatment of the quadratic invariants for a quantum system

We consider the problem of the time-dependent degenerate parametric amplifier. We obtain the quadratic invariant and use it to derive the wave function via its su(1, 1) algebraic basis and a unitary transformation to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the parametric amplifier. We obtain the real and the complex invariants, which we use to solve the time-dependent Cauchy problem. Using different integrability conditions, we find the most general solution, which we analyze extensively, providing details of the calculations.
