On the Simplicity of Lie Algebras Associated to Leavitt Algebras

For any field 𝕂 and integer n ≥ 2, we consider the Leavitt algebra L _𝕂(n); for any integer d ≥ 1, we form the matrix ring S = M _d (L _𝕂(n)). S is an associative algebra, but we view S as a Lie algebra using the bracket [a, b] = ab ? ba for a, b ∈ S. We denote this Lie algebra as S ^?, and consider its Lie subalgebra [S ^?, S ^?]. In our main result, we show that [S ^?, S ^?] is a simple Lie algebra if and only if char(𝕂) divides n ? 1 and char(𝕂) does not divide d. In particular, when d = 1, we get that [L _𝕂(n)^?, L _𝕂(n)^?] is a simple Lie algebra if and only if char(𝕂) divides n ? 1.     

Relatively Free Nilpotent Torsion-Free Groups and Their Lie Algebras

Let K be a field of characteristic zero. For a torsion-free finitely generated nilpotent group G, we naturally associate four finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras over K, ? _K (G), grad^(?)(? _K (G)), grad^(g)(exp ? _K (G)), and L _K (G). Let 𝔗 _c be a torsion-free variety of nilpotent groups of class at most c. For a positive integer n, with n ≥ 2, let F _n (𝔗 _c ) be the relatively free group of rank n in 𝔗 _c . We prove that ? _K (F _n (𝔗 _c )) is relatively free in some variety of nilpotent Lie algebras, and ? _K (F _n (𝔗 _c )) ? L _K (F _n (𝔗 _c )) ? grad^(?)(? _K (F _n (𝔗 _c ))) ? grad^(g)(exp ? _K (F _n (𝔗 _c ))) as Lie algebras in a natural way. Furthermore, F _n (𝔗 _c ) is a Magnus nilpotent group. Let G ₁ and G ₂ be torsion-free finitely generated nilpotent groups which are quasi-isometric. We prove that if G ₁ and G ₂ are relatively free of finite rank, then they are isomorphic. Let L be a relatively free nilpotent Lie algebra over ? of finite rank freely generated by a set X. Give on L the structure of a group R, say, by means of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula, and let H be the subgroup of R generated by the set X. We show that H is relatively free in some variety of nilpotent groups; freely generated by the set X, H is Magnus and L ? ?_?(H) ? L _?(H) as Lie algebras. For relatively free residually torsion-free nilpotent groups, we prove that ? _K and L _K are isomorphic as Lie algebras. We also give an example of a finitely generated Magnus nilpotent group G, not relatively free, such that ?_?(G) is not isomorphic to L _?(G) as Lie algebras.     

Solvable Indecomposable Extensions of Two Nilpotent Lie Algebras

A pair of sequences of nilpotent Lie algebras denoted by N_{n, 7} and N_{n, 16} are introduced. Here, n denotes the dimension of the algebras that are defined for n ≥ 6; the first terms in the sequences are denoted by 6.7 and 6.16, respectively, in the standard list of six-dimensional Lie algebras. For each of them, all possible solvable extensions are constructed so that N_{n, 7} and N_{n, 16} serve as the nilradical of the corresponding solvable algebras. The construction continues Winternitz’ and colleagues’ program of investigating solvable Lie algebras using special properties rather than trying to extend one dimension at a time.     

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.     

Nilpotent Ideals in Graded Lie Algebras and Almost Constant-Free Derivations

It is proved that if a (?/p ?)-graded Lie algebra L, where p is a prime, has exactly d nontrivial grading components and dim L ₀ = m, then L has a nilpotent ideal of d-bounded nilpotency class and of finite (m,d)-bounded codimension. As a consequence, Jacobson's theorem on constant-free nilpotent Lie algebras of derivations is generalized to the almost constant-free case. Another application is for Lie algebras with almost fixed-point-free automorphisms.     

On Cartan Invariants and Blocks of Zassenhaus Algebras #

In this article, we determine the Cartan invariants for Zassenhaus algebras W(1,n). This is done by reducing representations of generalized restricted Cartan type Lie algebra W(1,n) to representations of restricted Lie algebras W(1,1) and of ± b𝔰 ± b𝔩(2), and then extending Feldvoss-Nakano's argument on W(1,1) to the case W(1,n).     

Generalized cartan type k lie algebras in characteristic 0

The Lie algebra of Cartan type K which occurs as a subalgebra of the Lie algebra of derivations of the polynomial algebra F[x₀, x₁,…, x_n,x_n?1,…,x_?n], where F is a field of characteristic 0, was generalized by the first author to a class which included a subalgebra of the derivations of the Laurent polynomials F[x₀,x₁,…, x_n,x_?1,…,x_?n,X₀ ^?1x₁ ^-1,…,x_n ^?1,…,x_?1 ^?1…,x_?n ^?1]A further generalization of these algebras is the main topic of this paper. We show when these algebras are simple, determine all possible     

The Classification of Naturally Graded p-Filiform Leibniz Algebras

In the present article the classification of n-dimensional naturally graded p-filiform (1 ≤ p ≤ n ? 4) Leibniz algebras is obtained. A splitting of the set of naturally graded Leibniz algebras into the families of Lie and non Lie Leibniz algebras by means of characteristic sequences (isomorphism invariants) is proved.     

Poisson color algebras of arbitrary degree

A Poisson algebra is a Lie algebra endowed with a commutative associative product in such a way that the Lie and associative products are compatible via a Leibniz rule. If we part from a Lie color algebra, instead of a Lie algebra, a graded-commutative associative product and a graded-version Leibniz rule we get a so-called Poisson color algebra (of degree zero). This concept can be extended to any degree, so as to obtain the class of Poisson color algebras of arbitrary degree. This class turns out to be a wide class of algebras containing the ones of Lie color algebras (and so Lie superalgebras and Lie algebras), Poisson algebras, graded Poisson algebras, z-Poisson algebras, Gerstenhaber algebras, and Schouten algebras among other classes of algebras. The present paper is devoted to the study of structure of Poisson color algebras of degree g₀, where g₀ is some element of the grading group G such that g₀ = 0 or 4g₀≠0, and with restrictions neither on the dimension nor the base field, by stating a second Wedderburn-type theorem for this class of algebras.     

An Equivalence of Categories for Lie Color Algebras

Abstract

Let k be a field with char k = p > 0 and G an abelian group with a bicharacter λ on G. For each p-(G,λ)-Lie color algebra L over k the p-universal enveloping algebra u(L) is a G-graded Hopf algebra,i.e.,a Hopf algebra in the category ^kG ? of kG-comodules. In this paper we describe a subcategory of ^kG ? which is equivalent to the category of the finite dimensional p-(G,λ)-Lie color algebras over k.     

Integrable cocycles and global deformations of Lie algebra of type G2 in characteristic 2

All classes of integrable cocycles in H²(L,L) are obtained for Lie algebra of type G₂ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. It is proved that there exist only two orbits of classes of integrable cocycles with respect to automorphism group. The global deformation is shown to exist for any nontrivial class of integrable cocycles. These deformations are isomorphic to one of the two algebras of Cartan type, one of which being S(3:1,ω) while the other H(4:1,ω).     

Nonlinear generalized Lie triple derivation on triangular algebras

Let ? be a commutative ring with identity and let 𝔄 = Tri(𝒜,?,?) be a triangular algebra consisting of unital algebras 𝒜,? over ? and an (𝒜,?)-bimodule ? which is faithful as a left 𝒜-module as well as a right ?-module. In this paper, we prove that under certain assumptions every nonlinear generalized Lie triple derivation G_L:𝔄→𝔄 is of the form G_L = δ+τ, where δ:𝔄→𝔄 is an additive generalized derivation on 𝔄 and τ is a mapping from 𝔄 into its center which annihilates all Lie triple products [[x,y],z].     

Some Extensions of PSL(2, p 2) are Uniquely Determined by Their Complex Group Algebras

In Tong-Viet's, 2012 work, the following question arose: Question. Which groups can be uniquely determined by the structure of their complex group algebras?

It is proved here that some simple groups of Lie type are determined by the structure of their complex group algebras. Let p be an odd prime number and S = PSL(2, p ²). In this paper, we prove that, if M is a finite group such that S < M < Aut(S), M = ?₂ × PSL(2, p ²) or M = SL(2, p ²), then M is uniquely determined by its order and some information about its character degrees. Let X ₁(G) be the set of all irreducible complex character degrees of G counting multiplicities. As a consequence of our results, we prove that, if G is a finite group such that X ₁(G) = X ₁(M), then G ? M. This implies that M is uniquely determined by the structure of its complex group algebra.     

Non-weight representations of Cartan type S Lie algebras

For the two Cartan type S subalgebras of the Witt algebra 𝒲_n, called Lie algebras of divergence-zero vector fields, we determine all module structures on the universal enveloping algebra of their Cartan subalgebra 𝔥_n. We also give all submodules of these modules.     

Vertex Poisson Algebras Associated with Courant Algebroids

We study relationships between vertex Poisson algebras and Courant algebroids. For any ?-graded vertex Poisson algebra A = ? _n∈? A _(n), we show that A ₍₁₎ is a Courant A ₍₀₎-algebroid. On the other hand, for any Courant 𝒜-algebroid ?, we construct an ?-graded vertex Poisson algebra A = ? _n∈? A _(n) such that A ₍₀₎ is 𝒜 and the Courant 𝒜-algebroid A ₍₁₎ is isomorphic to ? as a Courant 𝒜-algebroid.     

Characterizing n-Isoclinism Classes of Lie Algebras

In this article, we introduce the notion of the equivalence relation, n-isoclinism, between Lie algebras, and obtain some criterions under which Lie algebras are n-isoclinic. In particular, we show that n-isoclinic Lie algebras can be isoclinically embedded into one Lie algebra. Also, we present the notion of an n-stem Lie algebra and prove its existence within an arbitrary n-isoclinism class. In addition, similar to a result of Hekster [6 Hekster , N. S. ( 1986 ). On the structure of n-isoclinam classes of groups . J. Pure Appl. Algebra 40 : 63 – 85 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] in the group case, we characterize the n-stem Lie algebras in the n-isoclinism classes which contains at least one finitely generated Lie algebra L with dim (L ⁿ⁺¹) finite.     

Group gradings on the Lie and Jordan superalgebras Q(n)

We classify gradings by arbitrary abelian groups on the classical simple Lie and Jordan superalgebras Q(n), n ≥ 2, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2 (and not dividing n + 1 in the Lie case): Fine gradings up to equivalence and G-gradings, for a fixed group G, up to isomorphism.     

Automorphisms of Relatively Free Nilpotent Lie Algebras

Let L be a relatively free nilpotent Lie algebra over ? of rank n and class c, with n ≥ 2; freely generated by a set 𝒵. Give L the structure of a group, denoted by R, by means of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula. Let G be the subgroup of R generated by the set 𝒵 and N _Aut(L)(G) the normalizer in Aut(L) of the set G. We prove that the automorphism group of L is generated by GL _n (?) and N _Aut(L)(G). Let H be a subgroup of finite index in Aut(G) generated by the tame automorphisms and a finite subset X of IA-automorphisms with cardinal s. We construct a set Y consisting of s + 1 IA-automorphisms of L such that Aut(L) is generated by GL _n (?) and Y. We apply this particular method to construct generating sets for the automorphism groups of certain relatively free nilpotent Lie algebras.
