A constructive method to determine the variety of filiform Lie algebras

In this paper we use cohomology of Lie algebras to study the variety of laws associated with filiform Lie algebras of a given dimension. As the main result, we describe a constructive way to find a small set of polynomials which define this variety. It allows to improve previous results related with the cardinal of this set. We have also computed explicitly these polynomials in the case of dimensions 11 and 12.

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].     

Lie isomorphisms of reflexive algebras

A Lie isomorphism ? between algebras is called trivial if ?=ψ+τ, where ψ is an (algebraic) isomorphism or a negative of an (algebraic) anti-isomorphism, and τ is a linear map with image in the center vanishing on each commutator. In this paper, we investigate the conditions for the triviality of Lie isomorphisms from reflexive algebras with completely distributive and commutative lattices (CDCSL). In particular, we prove that a Lie isomorphism between irreducible CDCSL algebras is trivial if and only if it preserves I-idempotent operators (the sum of an idempotent and a scalar multiple of the identity) in both directions. We also prove the triviality of each Lie isomorphism from a CDCSL algebra onto a CSL algebra which has a comparable invariant projection with rank and corank not one. Some examples of Lie isomorphisms are presented to show the sharpness of the conditions.

It is known that the total (co)-homoloy of a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra is at least , where is the center of . We improve this result by showing that a better lower bound is , where and is a complement of in . Furthermore, we provide evidence that this is the best possible bound of the form .

     

Breadth and characteristic sequence of nilpotent Lie algebras

The notion of breadth of a nilpotent Lie algebra was introduced and used to approach problems of classification up to isomorphism in [5 Khuhirun, B., Misra, K. C., Stitzinger, E. (2015). On nilpotent Lie algebras of small breadth. J. Algebra 444:328–338.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. In the present paper, we study this invariant in terms of characteristic sequence, another invariant, introduced by Goze and Ancochea in [1 Ancochea-Bermúdez, J. M., Goze, M. (1986). Sur la classification des algèbres de Lie nilpotentes de dimension 7. C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris 302:611–613. [Google Scholar]]. This permits to complete the determination of Lie algebras of breadth 2 studied in [5 Khuhirun, B., Misra, K. C., Stitzinger, E. (2015). On nilpotent Lie algebras of small breadth. J. Algebra 444:328–338.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and to begin the work for Lie algebras with breadth greater than 2.

On Einstein extensions of nilpotent metric Lie algebras

The main result of the article is as follows: If a nilpotent noncommutative metric Lie algebra (n, Q) is such that the operator Id ? trace(Ric) / trace(Ric²) Ric is positive definite then every Einstein solvable extension of (n, Q) is standard. We deduce several consequences of this assertion. In particular, we prove that all Einstein solvmanifolds of dimension at most 7 are standard.     

Domestic canonical algebras and simple Lie algebras

For each simply-laced Dynkin graph Δ we realize the simple complex Lie algebra of type Δ as a quotient algebra of the complex degenerate composition Lie algebra of a domestic canonical algebra A of type Δ by some ideal I of that is defined via the Hall algebra of A, and give an explicit form of I. Moreover, we show that each root space of has a basis given by the coset of an indecomposable A-module M with root easily computed by the dimension vector of M.

Analysis on discrete cocompact subgroups of the generic filiform Lie groups

Summary Let F_n, n≧ 1, denote the sequence of generic filiform (connected, simply connected) Lie groups. Here we study, for each F_n, the infinite dimensional simple quotients of the group C*-algebra of (the most obvious) one of its discrete cocompact subgroups D_n. For D_n, the most attractive concrete faithful representations are given in terms of Anzai flows, in analogy with the representations of the discrete Heisenberg group H₃ ⊆G₃ on L²(T) that result from the irrational rotation flows on T; the representations of D_n generate infinite-dimensional simple quotients A_n,θ of the group C*-algebra C*(D_n). For n>1, there are other infinite-dimensional simple quotients of C*(D_n) arising from non-faithful representations of D_n. Flows for these are determined, and they are also characterized and represented as matrix algebras over simple affine Furstenberg transformation group C*-algebras of the lower dimensional tori.     

Contact and Frobenius solvable Lie algebras with abelian nilradical

The aim of this work is to characterize the families of Frobenius (respectively, contact) solvable Lie algebras that satisfies the following condition: 𝔤 = 𝔥?V, where 𝔥?𝔤𝔩(V), |dim V?dim 𝔤|≤1 and NilRad(𝔤) = V, V being a finite dimensional vector space. In particular, it is proved that every complex Frobenius solvable Lie algebra is decomposable, whereas that in the real case there are only two indecomposable Frobenius solvable Lie algebras.     

Flat Nonunimodular Lorentzian Lie Algebras

A flat Lorentzian Lie algebra is a left symmetric algebra endowed with a symmetric bilinear form of signature (?, +,…, +) such that left multiplications are skew-symmetric. In geometrical terms, a flat Lorentzian Lie algebra is the Lie algebra of a Lie group with a left-invariant Lorentzian metric with vanishing curvature. In this article, we show that any flat nonunimodular Lorentzian Lie algebras can be obtained as a double extension of flat Riemannian Lie algebras. As an application, we give all flat nonunimodular Lorentzian Lie algebras up to dimension 4.     

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.
