A Characterization of Stem Algebras in Terms of Central Derivations

Let L be a Lie algebra, and Der _z (L) denote the set of all central derivations of L, that is, the set of all derivations of L mapping L into the center. In this paper, by using the notion of isoclinism, we study the center of Der _z (L) for nilpotent Lie algebras with nilindex 2. We also give a characterization of stem Lie algebras by their central derivations. In fact we show that for non-abelian nilpotent Lie algebras of finite dimension and any nilpotent Lie algebra with nilindex 2 (not finite dimensional in general), Der _z (L) is abelian if and only if L is a stem Lie algebra.     

Lie Algebras with Nilpotent Length Greater than that of each of their Subalgebras

The main purpose of this paper is to study the finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebras described in its title, which we call minimal non- \({\mathcal N}\). To facilitate this we investigate solvable Lie algebras of nilpotent length k, and of nilpotent length ≤k, and extreme Lie algebras, which have the property that their nilpotent length is equal to the number of conjugacy classes of maximal subalgebras. We characterise the minimal non-\({\mathcal N}\) Lie algebras in which every nilpotent subalgebra is abelian, and those of solvability index ≤3.     

Einstein solvmanifolds: existence and non-existence questions

The aim of this paper is to study the problem of which solvable Lie groups admit an Einstein left invariant metric. The space \({\mathcal{N}}\) of all nilpotent Lie brackets on \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) parametrizes a set of (n + 1)-dimensional rank-one solvmanifolds \({\{S_{\mu}:\mu\in\mathcal{N}\}}\), containing the set of all those which are Einstein in that dimension. The moment map for the natural GL _n -action on \({\mathcal{N}}\), evaluated at \({\mu\in\mathcal{N}}\), encodes geometric information on S _μ and suggests the use of strong results from geometric invariant theory. For instance, the functional on \({\mathcal{N}}\) whose critical points are precisely the Einstein S _μ ’s, is the square norm of this moment map. We use a GL _n -invariant stratification for the space \({\mathcal{N}}\) and show that there is a strong interplay between the strata and the Einstein condition on the solvmanifolds S _μ . As an application, we obtain criteria to decide whether a given nilpotent Lie algebra can be the nilradical of a rank-one Einstein solvmanifold or not. We find several examples of \({\mathbb{N}}\)-graded (even 2-step) nilpotent Lie algebras which are not. A classification in the 7-dimensional, 6-step case and an existence result for certain 2-step algebras associated to graphs are also given.     

Complete classification of pseudo <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-type Lie algebras: I

Let \({\mathscr {N}}\) be a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra endowed with a non-degenerate scalar product \(\langle .\,,.\rangle \), and let \({\mathscr {N}}=V\oplus _{\perp }Z\), where Z is the centre of the Lie algebra and V its orthogonal complement. We study classification of the Lie algebras for which the space V arises as a representation space of the Clifford algebra \({{\mathrm{{\mathrm{Cl}}}}}({\mathbb {R}}^{r,s})\), and the representation map \(J:{{\mathrm{{\mathrm{Cl}}}}}({\mathbb {R}}^{r,s})\rightarrow {{\mathrm{End}}}(V)\) is related to the Lie algebra structure by \(\langle J_zv,w\rangle =\langle z,[v,w]\rangle \) for all \(z\in {\mathbb {R}}^{r,s}\) and \(v,w\in V\). The classification depends on parameters r and s and is completed for the Clifford modules V having minimal possible dimension, that are not necessary irreducible. We find necessary conditions for the existence of a Lie algebra isomorphism according to the range of the integer parameters \(0\le r,s<\infty \). We present a constructive proof for the isomorphism maps for isomorphic Lie algebras and determine the class of non-isomorphic Lie algebras.     

On the nilpotent residuals of all subalgebras of Lie algebras

Let \(\mathcal{N}\) denote the class of nilpotent Lie algebras. For any finite-dimensional Lie algebra L over an arbitrary field \(\mathbb{F}\), there exists a smallest ideal I of L such that L/I ∈ \(\mathcal{N}\). This uniquely determined ideal of L is called the nilpotent residual of L and is denoted by L\(\mathcal{N}\). In this paper, we define the subalgebra S(L) = ∩_H≤LI_L(H\(\mathcal{N}\)). Set S₀(L) = 0. Define S_i+1(L)/S_i(L) = S(L/S_i(L)) for i > 1. By S_∞(L) denote the terminal term of the ascending series. It is proved that L = S_∞(L) if and only if L\(\mathcal{N}\) is nilpotent. In addition, we investigate the basic properties of a Lie algebra L with S(L) = L.     

Span of a DL-algebra

Unless otherswise specified, all objects are defined over a field k of characteristic 0. Let K be a field. The unessentialness of an extension of the algebra Der K by means of a splittable semisimple Lie algebra is established. Let D _K be the category of differential Lie algebras (DL-algebras) (g;K). In this paper for an extension L/K the functor η:D _K → D _L , defining the tensor product L ? _K of vector spaces and the homomorphism of Lie algebras, is constructed. If the extension L/K is algebraic, then η is unique. The results will be required for strengthening the progress on Gelfand–Kirillov problem and weakened conjecture [1, 2].     

Local Superderivatio ns o n Lie Superalgebra $$\mathfrak{}$$ ( n)

Let \(\mathfrak{q}\)(n) be a simple strange Lie superalgebra over the complex field ?. In a paper by A.Ayupov, K.Kudaybergenov (2016), the authors studied the local derivations on semi-simple Lie algebras over ? and showed the difference between the properties of local derivations on semi-simple and nilpotent Lie algebras. We know that Lie superalgebras are a generalization of Lie algebras and the properties of some Lie superalgebras are similar to those of semi-simple Lie algebras, but \(\mathfrak{p}\)(n) is an exception. In this paper, we introduce the definition of the local superderivation on \(\mathfrak{q}\)(n), give the structures and properties of the local superderivations of \(\mathfrak{q}\)(n), and prove that every local superderivation on \(\mathfrak{q}\)(n), n > 3, is a superderivation.     

Centralizers in Lie Algebras

We determine the number of centralizers of different non-abelian finite dimensional Lie algebras over a specific field. Also, the concept of Lie algebras with abelian centralizers are studied and using a result of Bokut and Kukin [5], for a given residually free Lie algebra L, it is shown that L is fully residually free if and only if every centralizer of non-zero elements of L is abelian.     

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].     

Infinite-dimensional Lie algebras determined by the space of symmetric squares of hyperelliptic curves

We construct Lie algebras of vector fields on universal bundles of symmetric squares of hyperelliptic curves of genus g = 1, 2,.. For each of these Lie algebras, the Lie subalgebra of vertical fields has commuting generators, while the generators of the Lie subalgebra of projectable fields determines the canonical representation of the Lie subalgebra with generators L _2q , q = ?1, 0, 1, 2,.., of the Witt algebra. As an application, we obtain integrable polynomial dynamical systems.     

Group classification of differential-difference equations: Low-dimensional Lie algebras

Differential-difference equations of the form u? _n = F _n (t, u_n?1, u _n , u_n+1, u?_n?1, u? _n , u?_n+1) are classified according to their intrinsic Lie point symmetries, equivalence group and some low-dimensional Lie algebras including the Abelian symmetry algebras, nilpotent nonAbelian symmetry algebras, solvable symmetry algebras with nonAbelian nilradicals, solvable symmetry algebras with Abelian nilradicals and nonsolvable symmetry algebras. Here F _n is a nonlinear function of its arguments and the dot over u denotes differentiation with respect to t.     

ABELIAN BALANCED HERMITIAN STRUCTURES ON UNIMODULAR LIE ALGEBRAS

Let g be a 2n-dimensional unimodular Lie algebra equipped with a Hermitian structure (J; F) such that the complex structure J is abelian and the fundamental form F is balanced. We prove that the holonomy group of the associated Bismut connection reduces to a subgroup of SU(n – k), being 2k the dimension of the center of g. We determine conditions that allow a unimodular Lie algebra to admit this particular type of structures. Moreover, we give methods to construct them in arbitrary dimensions and classify them if the Lie algebra is 8-dimensional and nilpotent.     

Restricted Lie 2-algebras

In this article, we introduce the notions of restricted Lie 2-algebras and crossed modules of restricted Lie algebras, and give a series of examples of restricted Lie 2-algebras. We also construct restricted Lie 2-algebras from A(m)-algebras, restricted Leibniz algebras, restricted right-symmetric algebras. Finally, we prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between strict restricted Lie 2-algebras and crossed modules of restricted Lie algebras.     

Characterization of 2-Local Derivations and Local Lie Derivations on Some Algebras

We prove that each 2-local derivation from the algebra M_n(A ) (n > 2) into its bimodule M_n(M) is a derivation, where A is a unital Banach algebra and M is a unital A -bimodule such that each Jordan derivation from A into M is an inner derivation, and that each 2-local derivation on a C*-algebra with a faithful traceable representation is a derivation. We also characterize local and 2-local Lie derivations on some algebras such as von Neumann algebras, nest algebras, the Jiang–Su algebra, and UHF algebras.     

Minimal algebras and 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras in dimension 7

We use the methods of Bazzoni and Muñoz (Trans Am Math Soc 364:1007–1028, 2012) to give a classification of 7-dimensional minimal algebras, generated in degree 1, over any field ${\mathbf{k}}$ of characteristic ${{\rm char}(\mathbf{k})\neq 2}$ , whose characteristic filtration has length 2. Equivalently, we classify 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras in dimension 7. This classification also recovers the real homotopy type of 7-dimensional 2-step nilmanifolds.     

SHEETS IN SYMMETRIC LIE ALGEBRAS AND SLICE INDUCTION

In this paper, we study sheets of symmetric Lie algebras through their Slodowy slices. In particular, we introduce a notion of slice induction of nilpotent orbits which coincides with the parabolic induction in the Lie algebra case. We also study in more detail the sheets of the non-trivial symmetric Lie algebra of type G₂. We characterize their singular loci and provide a nice desingularization lying in so ₇.     

Λ-modules and holomorphic Lie algebroid connections

Let X be a complex smooth projective variety, and G a locally free sheaf on X. We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between pairs (Λ, Ξ), where Λ is a sheaf of almost polynomial filtered algebras over X satisfying Simpson’s axioms and \( \equiv :Gr\Lambda \to Sym \bullet _{\mathcal{O}_X } \mathcal{G}\) is an isomorphism, and pairs (L, Σ), where L is a holomorphic Lie algebroid structure on \(\mathcal{G}\) and Σ is a class in F ¹ H ²(L, ?), the first Hodge filtration piece of the second cohomology of L.As an application, we construct moduli spaces of semistable flat L-connections for any holomorphic Lie algebroid L. Particular examples of these are given by generalized holomorphic bundles for any generalized complex structure associated to a holomorphic Poisson manifold.     

Enumeration of maximal subalgebras in free restricted lie algebras

Given a finitely generated restricted Lie algebra L over the finite field \(\mathbb{F}_q \), and n ≥ 0, denote by a _n (L) the number of restricted subalgebras H ? L with \(\dim _{\mathbb{F} _q} \) L/H = n. Denote by ã _n (L) the number of the subalgebras satisfying the maximality condition as well. Considering the free restricted Lie algebra L = F _d of rank d ≥ 2, we find the asymptotics of ã _n (F _d ) and show that it coincides with the asymptotics of a _n (F _d ) which was found previously by the first author. Our approach is based on studying the actions of restricted algebras by derivations on the truncated polynomial rings. We establish that the maximal subalgebras correspond to the so-called primitive actions. This means that “almost all” restricted subalgebras H ? F _d of finite codimension are maximal, which is analogous to the corresponding results for free groups and free associative algebras.     

SCAP-subalgebras of Lie algebras

A subalgebra H of a finite dimensional Lie algebra L is said to be a SCAP-subalgebra if there is a chief series 0 = L₀ ? L₁ ?... ? L_t = L of L such that for every i = 1, 2,..., t, we have H + L_i = H + L_i-1 or H ∩ L_i = H ∩ L_i-1. This is analogous to the concept of SCAP-subgroup, which has been studied by a number of authors. In this article, we investigate the connection between the structure of a Lie algebra and its SCAP-subalgebras and give some sufficient conditions for a Lie algebra to be solvable or supersolvable.
