Generating index of finite-dimensional Lie algebras

The notion of generating index of Lie algebras is introduced. We characterize some Lie algebras with full generating index and classify the Lie algebras with generating index 2 and 3. As a corollary, we give a characterization of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras.     

Lie algebras with finite-dimensional polynomial centralizer

We give criteria for finite or infinite dimensionality of the polynomial centralizer of the Lie algebra of a linear Lie group, in terms of invariants and relative invariants of the group. In the finite-dimensional scenario some applications to normal forms and to certain equations with fundamental solutions are presented.     

Biderivations of finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebras

In this paper, we prove that a biderivation of a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra without the restriction of being skewsymmetric is an inner biderivation. As an application, the biderivation of a general linear Lie algebra is presented. In particular, we find a class of a non-inner and non-skewsymmetric biderivations. Furthermore, we also obtain the forms of the linear commuting maps on the finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra or general linear Lie algebra.     

On wild and tame finite-dimensional Lie algebras

All finite-dimensional Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero are found for which the problem of classifying finite-dimensional representations is not wild.     

Paradigm of Max-Factor and finite-dimensional representation of Lie algebras

An isomorphism between the algebra of formal power series and the dual space to the universal enveloping Lie algebra is constructed. This isomorphism maps the maximal locally finite-dimensional submodule to the preimage of the algebra of rational functions under the Borel transform.     

A survey on stability and rigidity results for Lie algebras

We give simple and unified proofs of the known stability and rigidity results for Lie algebras, Lie subalgebras and Lie algebra homomorphisms. Moreover, we investigate when a Lie algebra homomorphism is stable under all automorphisms of the codomain (including outer automorphisms).     

A family of Koszul algebras arising from finite-dimensional representations of simple Lie algebras

Let g be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra and let Sg be the locally finite part of the algebra of invariants (EndCV⊗Sg(g)) where V is the direct sum of all simple finite-dimensional modules for g and S(g) is the symmetric algebra of g. Given an integral weight ξ, let Ψ=Ψ(ξ) be the subset of roots which have maximal scalar product with ξ. Given a dominant integral weight λ and ξ such that Ψ is a subset of the positive roots we construct a finite-dimensional subalgebra of Sg and prove that the algebra is Koszul of global dimension at most the cardinality of Ψ. Using this we construct naturally an infinite-dimensional non-commutative Koszul algebra of global dimension equal to the cardinality of Ψ. The results and the methods are motivated by the study of the category of finite-dimensional representations of the affine and quantum affine algebras.     

On the sum of two Lie algebras with finite-dimensional commutants

We prove that an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra over an arbitrary field which is decomposable into the sum of two of its subalgebras with finite-dimensional commutants is almost solvable.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 47, No. 8, pp. 1089–1096, August, 1995.     

On the tensor square of non-abelian nilpotent finite-dimensional Lie algebras

For every finite p-group G of order p ⁿ with derived subgroup of order p ^m , Rocco [N.R. Rocco, On a construction related to the nonabelian tensor square of a group, Bol. Soc. Brasil. Mat. 1 (1991), pp. 63–79] proved that the order of tensor square of G is at most p ^n(n?m). This upper bound has been improved recently by the author [P. Niroomand, On the order of tensor square of non abelian prime power groups (submitted)]. The aim of this article is to obtain a similar result for a non-abelian nilpotent Lie algebra of finite dimension. More precisely, for any given n-dimensional non-abelian nilpotent Lie algebra L with derived subalgebra of dimension m we have dim(L???L)?≤?(n???m)(n???1)?+?2. Furthermore for m?=?1, the explicit structure of L is given when the equality holds.     

The unit theorem for finite-dimensional algebras

The unit theorem that forms the subject of the present article, is a theorem from algebra that has a combinatorial flavour, and that originated in fact from algebraic combinatorics. Beyond a proof, we also address applications, one of which is a proof of the normal basis theorem from Galois theory.     

Semisimple finite-dimensional Hopf algebras

The paper considers a classification of semisimple Hopf algebras having exactly one irreducible non-one-dimensional representation under a certain condition on the number of group elements.     

Special finite-dimensional monocomposition algebras

Special monocomposition algebras introduced in [1] are studied. Using their properties, we prove that any nondegenerate monocomposition algebra ,dim ≥ 3, with unity contains no proper ideal of dimension ≤8. This implies that if 3≤dim ≤ 9, then is a central simple algebra. Translated fromAlgebra i Logika, Vol. 35, No. 2, pp. 125–144, March–April, 1996.

Identities of unitary finite-dimensional algebras

We deal with growth functions of sequences of codimensions of identities in finite-dimensional algebras with unity over a field of characteristic zero. For three-dimensional algebras, it is proved that the codimension sequence grows asymptotically as a ⁿ , where a is 1, 2, or 3. For arbitrary finite-dimensional algebras, it is shown that the codimension growth either is polynomial or is not slower than 2 ⁿ . We give an example of a finite-dimensional algebra with growth rate an with fractional exponent a = \frac3³?{4} + 1 a = \frac{3}{{\sqrt[3]{4}}} + 1 .
