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.     

Group Algebras of Finite Groups as Lie Algebras

We consider the natural Lie algebra structure on the (associative) group algebra of a finite group G, and show that the Lie subalgebras associated to natural involutive antiautomorphisms of this group algebra are reductive ones. We give a decomposition in simple factors of these Lie algebras, in terms of the ordinary representations of G.     

Lie Nilpotent Group Algebras and Upper Lie Codimension Subgroups

In this article we introduce the series of the upper Lie codimension subgroups of a group algebra KG of a group G over a field K. By means of this series we give a contribution to the conjecture cl _L (KG) = cl ^L (KG) when G belongs to particular classes of finite p-groups.

Zero Divisors in Amalgamated Free Products of Lie Algebras

We introduce the notion of domain for Lie algebras, discuss when the free amalgamated Lie product of two domains is a domain again, classify commuting elements in the free amalgamated product of two Lie algebras and describe the center of this product.     

Lie Powers of Modules for Groups of Prime Order

Let L(V) be the free Lie algebra on a finite-dimensional vectorspace V over a field K, with homogeneous components Lⁿ(V) forn 1. If G is a group and V is a KG-module, the action of Gextends naturally to L(V), and the Lⁿ(V) become finite-dimensionalKG-modules, called the Lie powers of V. In the decompositionproblem, the aim is to identify the isomorphism types of indecomposableKG-modules, with their multiplicities, in unrefinable directdecompositions of the Lie powers. This paper is concerned withthe case where G has prime order p, and K has characteristicp. As is well known, there are p indecomposables, denoted hereby J₁,...,J_p, where J_r has dimension r. A theory is developedwhich provides information about the overall module structureof LV) and gives a recursive method for finding the multiplicitiesof J₁,...,J_p in the Lie powers Lⁿ(V). For example, the theoryyields decompositions of L(V) as a direct sum of modules isomorphiceither to J₁ or to an infinite sum of the form J_r J_{p-1} J_{p-1} ... with r 2. Closed formulae are obtained for the multiplicitiesof J₁,..., J_p in Lⁿ(J_p and Lⁿ(J_{p-1). For r < p-1, the indecomposableswhich occur with non-zero multiplicity in Lⁿ(J_r) are identifiedfor all sufficiently large n. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification:17B01, 20C20.     

Automorphisms of Free Left Nilpotent Leibniz Algebras and Fixed Points

ABSTRACT

Let F _m (N) be the free left nilpotent (of class two) Leibniz algebra of finite rank m, with m ≥ 2. We show that F _m (N) has non-tame automorphisms and, for m ≥ 3, the automorphism group of F _m (N) is generated by the tame automorphisms and one more non-tame IA-automorphism. Let F(N) be the free left nilpotent Leibniz algebra of rank greater than 1 and let G be an arbitrary non-trivial finite subgroup of the automorphism group of F(N). We prove that the fixed point subalgebra F(N) ^G is not finitely generated.     

Virtual Knots and Infinite-Dimensional Lie Algebras

In the present work, we construct an invariant of virtual knots valued in (infinite-dimensional) Lie Algebras and establish some properties of it. This leads to some heuristic ideas how to construct quandles and extract (virtual) link invariants.     

On the Dimensions of Commutative Subalgebras and Subgroups of Nilpotent Algebras and Lie Groups of Class 2

We obtain the functions that bound the dimensions of finite dimensional nilpotent associative or Lie algebras of class 2 over an algebraically closed field in terms of the dimensions of their commutative subalgebras. As a result, we also compute a similar function for complex nilpotent Lie groups of class 2.     

Endomorphisms of Free Metabelian Lie Algebras Which Preserve Orbits

For the free rank 2 metabelian Lie algebra over an infinite field we prove that an endomorphism of the algebra which preserves the automorphic orbit of a nonzero element is an automorphism. We construct some counterexamples over finite fields.     

Banach Lie algebras with Lie subalgebras of finite codimension: Their invariant subspaces and Lie ideals

The paper studies the existence of closed invariant subspaces for a Lie algebra L of bounded operators on an infinite-dimensional Banach space X. It is assumed that L contains a Lie subalgebra L₀ that has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace in X of finite codimension or dimension. It is proved that L itself has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace in the following two cases: (1) L₀ has finite codimension in L and there are Lie subalgebras L₀=L⁰⊂L¹⊂?⊂Lp=L such that Li+1=Li+[Li,Li+1] for all i; (2) L₀ is a Lie ideal of L and dim(L₀)=∞. These results are applied to the problem of the existence of non-trivial closed Lie ideals and closed characteristic Lie ideals in an infinite-dimensional Banach Lie algebra L that contains a non-trivial closed Lie subalgebra of finite codimension.

Continuous and Discrete Wavelets for Acceleration Kinematics: A Motion Estimation Based on Lie Groups and Variational Principles

A group-theoretic framework is presented for acceleration transformations. The main purpose is to show the existence of families of spatio-temporal continuous wavelets, frames, and discrete wavelets related to these transformations. The main application of interest is the analysis of motion in space–time signals. The construction of this framework starts with the enumeration of Lie algebras as building blocks that provide all the observable kinematics that comply with the properties of the space–time under analysis. These classes of accelerated kinematics generalize the kinematics defined in the Galilei group. Exponentiation from Lie algebras defines locally compact exponential groups. Unitary, irreducible, and square-integrable group representations are thereafter derived in the function spaces and the signals to be analyzed, leading to the existence of continuous and discrete wavelets, frames all indexed with higher orders of temporal derivatives of the translational motion. Group representations and wavelets are tools that perform the local optimum estimation of pieces of trajectory. The adjunction of a variational principle of optimality is further necessary for building a global trajectory and for performing tracking. The Euler–Lagrange equation provides the motion equation of the moving system and the Noether's theorem derives the related constants of motion. Dynamic programming implements the algorithms for tracking and constructing the global trajectory. Finally, tight frames and bases enable signal decompositions along the trajectory of interest.

Flat orbits and kernels of irreducible representations of the group algebra of a completely solvable Lie group

We show that the kernel of an irreducible unitary representation π of the group algebra L¹(G) of a completely solvable Lie group G is given by the functions, whose abelian Fourier transform vanish on the Kirillov orbit Oπ of π if and only if this orbit Oπ is flat. This is a generalization of a result obtained before for nilpotent Lie groups.
