Completable nilpotent Lie superalgebras

We discuss a class of filiform Lie superalgebras L^n,m. From these Lie superalgebras, all the other filiform Lie superalgebras can be obtained by deformations. We have decompositions of Der0ˉ(L^n,m) and Der1 (L^n,m). By computing a maximal torus on each L^n,m, we show that L^n,m are completable nilpotent Lie superalgebras. We also view L^n,m as Lie algebras, prove that L^n,m are of maximal rank, and show that L^n,m are completable nilpotent Lie algebras. As an application of the results, we show a Heisenberg superalgebra is a completable nilpotent Lie superalgebra.

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.     

Quadratic Lie Algebras

In this article, the notion of universal enveloping algebra introduced in Ardizzoni [4 Ardizzoni , A. On primitively generated braided bialgebras . Algebr. Represent. Theory , to appear. (doi:10.1007/s10468-010-9257-z)  [Google Scholar]] is specialized to the case of braided vector spaces whose Nichols algebra is quadratic as an algebra. In this setting, a classification of universal enveloping algebras for braided vector spaces of dimension not greater than 2 is handled. As an application, we investigate the structure of primitively generated connected braided bialgebras whose braided vector space of primitive elements forms a Nichols algebra, which is a quadratic algebra.     

A remark on left invariant metrics on compact Lie groups

We show that a left invariant metric on a compact Lie group G with Lie algebra has some negative sectional curvature if it is obtained by enlarging a biinvariant metric on a subalgebra , unless the semi-simple part of is an ideal of This answers a question raised in [8]. Received: 7 May 2007     

Polynomial Lie Algebras

We introduce and study a special class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras that are finite-dimensional modules over a ring of polynomials. The Lie algebras of this class are said to be polynomial. Some classification results are obtained. An associative co-algebra structure on the rings k[x ₁,...,x _n]/(f ₁,...,f _n) is introduced and, on its basis, an explicit expression for convolution matrices of invariants for isolated singularities of functions is found. The structure polynomials of moving frames defined by convolution matrices are constructed for simple singularities of the types A,B,C, D, and E ₆.     

Note on Co-split Lie Algebras

It is proved that,any finite dimensional complex Lie algebra L = [L,L],hence,over a field of characteristic zero,any finite dimensional Lie algebra L = [L,L] possessing a basis with complex structure constants,should be a weak co-split Lie algebra.A class of non-semi-simple co-split Lie algebras is given.     

Representations of nilpotent Lie algebras

Let (L,[p]) a finite dimensional nilpotent restricted Lie algebra of characteristic p 3 3, c ? L^*p \geq 3, \chi \in L^* a linear form. In this paper we study the representation theory of the reduced universal enveloping algebra u(L,c)u(L,\chi ). It is shown that u(L,c)u(L,\chi ) does not admit blocks of tame representation type. As an application, we prove that the nonregular AR-components of u(L,c)u(L,\chi ) are of types \Bbb Z [A_￥ ]\Bbb Z [A_\infty ] or \Bbb Z [A_n]/(t)\Bbb Z [A_n]/(\tau ).
