Quasi-Deformations of 𝔰𝔩2(𝔽) Using Twisted Derivations

In this article we apply a method devised in Hartwig, Larsson, and Silvestrov (2006 Hartwig , J. T. , Larsson , D. , Silvestrov , S. D. ( 2006 ). Deformations of Lie algebras using σ-derivations . J. Algebra 295 : 314 – 361 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) and Larsson and Silvestrov (2005a Larsson , D. , Silvestrov , S. D. (2005a). Quasi-hom-Lie algebras, Central extensions and 2-cocycle-like identities. J. Algebra 288:321–344.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) to the simple 3-dimensional Lie algebra 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽). One of the main points of this deformation method is that the deformed algebra comes endowed with a canonical twisted Jacobi identity. We show in the present article that when our deformation scheme is applied to 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽) we can, by choosing parameters suitably, deform 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽) into the Heisenberg Lie algebra and some other 3-dimensional Lie algebras in addition to more exotic types of algebras, this being in stark contrast to the classical deformation schemes where 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽) is rigid.     

Construction of Nilpotent Jordan Algebras Over any Arbitrary Field

The paper is devoted to the study of annihilator extensions of Jordan algebras and suggests new approach to classify nilpotent Jordan algebras, which is analogous to the Skjelbred–Sund method for classifying nilpotent Lie algebras [2 de Graaf, W. (2007). Classification of 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras over fields of characteristic not 2. J. Algebra 309:640–653.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 4 Gong, M.-P. (1998). Clasification of Nilpotent Lie Algebras of Dimension 7 [Ph.D]. Ontario, Canada: University of Waterloo. [Google Scholar], 15 Skjelbred, T., Sund, T. (1978). Sur la classification des algèbres de Lie nilpotentes. C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Sér. A-B 286:241–242. [Google Scholar]]. Subsequently, we have classified nilpotent Jordan algebras of dimension up to four.     

Weyl Modules Associated to Kac–Moody Lie Algebras

Local Weyl modules were originally defined for affine Lie algebras by Chari and Pressley in [5 Chari, V., Pressley, A. (2001). Weyl modules for classical and quantum affine algebras. Represent. Theory 5:191–223 (electronic).[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]]. In this paper we extend the notion of local Weyl modules for a Lie algebra 𝔤 ?A, where 𝔤 is any Kac–Moody algebra and A is any finitely generated commutative associative algebra with unit over ?, and prove a tensor product decomposition theorem which generalizes result in [2 Chari, V., Fourier, G., Khandai, T. (2010). A categorical approach to Weyl modules. Transform. Groups 15(3):517–549.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 5 Chari, V., Pressley, A. (2001). Weyl modules for classical and quantum affine algebras. Represent. Theory 5:191–223 (electronic).[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]].     

Bialgebra Cohomology of the Duals of a Class of Generalized Taft Algebras

We compute explicitly the bialgebra cohomology of the duals of the generalized Taft algebras, which are noncommutative, noncocommutative finite-dimensional Hopf algebras. In order to do this, we use an identification of this cohomology with an Ext algebra (Taillefer, 2004a Taillefer , R. ( 2004a ). Cohomology theories of Hopf bimodules and cup-product . Alg. and Representation Theory 7 : 471 – 490 . [Google Scholar]) and a result describing the Drinfeld double of the dual of a generalized Taft algebra up to Morita equivalence (Erdmann et al., 2006 Erdmann , K. , Green , E. L. , Snashall , N. , Taillefer , R. ( 2006 ). Representation theory of the Drinfeld doubles of a family of Hopf algebras . J. Pure and Applied Algebra 204 ( 2 ): 413 – 454 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]).     

Leibniz Algebras with Invariant Bilinear Forms and Related Lie Algebras

In ([11 Benayadi, S., Hidri, S. (2014). Quadratic Leibniz algebras. Journal of Lie Theory 24:737–759.[Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]), we have studied quadratic Leibniz algebras that are Leibniz algebras endowed with symmetric, nondegenerate, and associative (or invariant) bilinear forms. The nonanticommutativity of the Leibniz product gives rise to other types of invariance for a bilinear form defined on a Leibniz algebra: the left invariance, the right invariance. In this article, we study the structure of Leibniz algebras endowed with nondegenerate, symmetric, and left (resp. right) invariant bilinear forms. In particular, the existence of such a bilinear form on a Leibniz algebra 𝔏 gives rise to a new algebra structure ☆ on the underlying vector space 𝔏. In this article, we study this new algebra, and we give information on the structure of this type of algebras by using some extensions introduced in [11 Benayadi, S., Hidri, S. (2014). Quadratic Leibniz algebras. Journal of Lie Theory 24:737–759.[Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. In particular, we improve the results obtained in [22 Lin, J., Chen, Z. (2010). Leibniz algebras with pseudo-Riemannian bilinear forms. Front. Math. China 5(1):103–115.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].     

Hilbert Function and Betti Numbers of Algebras with Lefschetz Property of Order m

The authors in Harima et al. (2003 Harima , T. , Migliore , J. C. , Nagel , U. , Watanabe , J. ( 2003 ). The weak and strong Lefschetz properties for artinian K-algebras . Journal of Algebra 262 : 99 – 126 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) characterize the Hilbert function of algebras with the Lefschetz property. We extend this characterization to algebras with the Lefschetz property m times. We also give upper bounds for the Betti numbers of Artinian algebras with a given Hilbert function and with the Lefschetz property m times and describe the cases in which these bounds are reached.     

Graded Left Symmetric Pseudo-algebras

In the present article, we introduce G-graded left symmetric H-pseudoalgebras, where G is a grading group, and H is a cocommutative Hopf algebra. Some results about associative H-pseudoalgebras in [23 Retakh , A. ( 2004 ). Unital associative pseudoalgebras and their representations . J. Algebra 227 : 769 – 805 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]] are generalized. The commutator algebras of the G-graded left symmetric H-pseudo-algebras are Lie H-pseudoalgebras, which are classified when the grading group is trivial in [3 Bakalov , B. , D'Andrea , A. , Kac , V. G. ( 2001 ). Theory of finite pseudoalgebras . Adv. in Math. 162 : 1 – 140 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. We investigate the left symmetric structure of Lie H-pseudoalgebras W(𝔟), S(𝔟), and He defined in [3 Bakalov , B. , D'Andrea , A. , Kac , V. G. ( 2001 ). Theory of finite pseudoalgebras . Adv. in Math. 162 : 1 – 140 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].     

Examples of Commutative Right-Nilalgebras Over Small Fields

Correa et al. (2003 Correa , I. , Hentzel , I. R. , Labra , A. ( 2003 ). On nilpotence of commutative right nilalgebras of low dimension . Int. J. Math. Game Theory Algebra 13 ( 3 ): 199 – 202 . [Google Scholar]) proved that any commutative right-nilalgebra of nilindex 4 and dimension 4 is nilpotent in characteristic ≠ 2,3. They did not assume power-associativity. In this article we will further investigate these algebras without the assumption on the dimension and providing examples in those cases that are not covered in the classification concentrating mostly on algebras generated by one element.     

Support Varieties for Modules Over Stacked Monomial Algebras

Let Λ be a finite-dimensional (D, A)-stacked monomial algebra. In this article, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the variety of a simple Λ-module to be nontrivial. This is then used to give structural information on the algebra Λ, as it is shown that if the variety of every simple module is nontrivial, then Λ is a D-Koszul monomial algebra. We also provide examples of (D, A)-stacked monomial algebras which are not self-injective but nevertheless satisfy the finite generation conditions (Fg1) and (Fg2) of [4 Erdmann , K. , Holloway , M. , Snashall , N. , Solberg , Ø. , Taillefer , R. ( 2004 ). Support varieties for selfinjective algebras . K-Theory 33 : 67 – 87 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]], from which we can characterize all modules with trivial variety.     

Quotients of Koszul Algebras and 2-d-Determined Algebras

Vatne [13 Vatne , J. E. ( 2012 ). Quotients of Koszul algebras with almost linear resolution. Preprint, arXiv:1103.3572 . [Google Scholar]] and Green and Marcos [9 Green , E. L. , Marcos , E. N. (2011). d-Koszul algebras, 2-d-determined algebras and 2-d-Koszul algebras. J. Pure Appl. Algebra 215(4):439–449.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] have independently studied the Koszul-like homological properties of graded algebras that have defining relations in degree 2 and exactly one other degree. We contrast these two approaches, answer two questions posed by Green and Marcos, and find conditions that imply the corresponding Yoneda algebras are generated in the lowest possible degrees.     

Direct Limits of Diagonal Chains of Type O,U, and Sp,and Their Homotopy Groups

ABSTRACT

Baranov and Zhilinskii (1999 Baranov , A. A. , Zhilinskii , A. G. ( 1999 ). Diagonal direct limits of simple Lie algebras . Comm. Algebra 27 ( 6 ): 2749 – 2766 [CSA] [Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) have shown a classification theorem for diagonal direct limits of simple Lie algebras. In this work, we will transfer their results to diagonal direct limits of certain matrix groups, and show that homotopy groups are significant invariants for specific classes of direct limit groups.

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 the Cohomology of the Lie Superalgebra of Contact Vector Fields on S 1|m

The main result of this article is the explicit calculation of the first cohomology space H ¹(𝒦(3), 𝒮Ψ𝒟𝒪(S ^1|3)) of the Lie superalgebra 𝒦(3) of contact vector fields on the supercircle S ^1|3 with coefficients in the module of superpseudodifferential operators 𝒮Ψ𝒟𝒪(S ^1|3). For the supercicles of dimensional 1 | 0, 1 | 1, and 1 | 2, the first cohomology space is computed, respectively, in the following articles: [2 Agrebaoui , B. , Ben Fraj , N. ( 2004 ). On the cohomology of the Lie superalgebra of contact vector fields on S ^1|1 . Belletin de la Société Royale des Sciences de Liège 72 ( 6 ): 365 – 375 . [Google Scholar], 3 Agrebaoui , B. , Ben Fraj , N. , Omri , S. ( 2006 ). On the cohomology of the Lie superalgebra of contact vector fields on S ^1|2 . J. Nonlinear Math. Phys. 13 ( 4 ): 523 – 534 .[Taylor &; Francis Online] , [Google Scholar], 14 Ovsienko , V. , Roger , C. ( 1999 ). Deforming the Lie algebra of vector fields on S ¹ inside the Lie algebra of pseudodifferential operators on S ¹ . AMS Transl. Ser. 2, (Adv. Math. Sci.) 194 : 211 – 227 . [Google Scholar]]. The case m ≥ 4 is still out of reach, but we give a lower bound for the dimension of the cohomology space and exhibit three nontrivial, 1-cocycles.     

Simple Modules and Primitive Ideals of Non-Noetherian Generalized Down-Up Algebras

Generalized down-up algebras were first introduced in Cassidy and Shelton (2004 Cassidy , T. , Shelton , B. ( 2004 ). Basic properties of generalized down-up algebras . J. Algebra 279 : 402 – 421 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). Their simple weight modules were classified in Cassidy and Shelton (2004 Cassidy , T. , Shelton , B. ( 2004 ). Basic properties of generalized down-up algebras . J. Algebra 279 : 402 – 421 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) in the noetherian case, and in Praton (2007 Praton , I. ( 2007 ). Simple weight modules of non-noetherian generalized down-up algebras . Comm. Algebra 35 : 325 – 337 .[Taylor &; Francis Online] , [Google Scholar]) in the non-noetherian case. Here we concentrate on non-noetherian down-up algebras. We show that almost all simple modules are weight modules. We also classify the corresponding primitive ideals.

Algebraic Entropy of Generalized Shifts on Direct Products

For a set Γ, a function λ: Γ → Γ and a nontrivial abelian group K, the \emphgeneralized shift σ_λ: K ^Γ → K ^Γ is defined by (x _i ) _i∈Γ ? (x _λ(i)) _i∈Γ [3 Ayatollah Zadeh Shirazi , F. , Heidari Ardi , F. , Karami Kabir , N. ( 2008 ). A note on shift theory . Math. Pannon. 19 : 187 – 195 . [Google Scholar]]. In this article we compute the algebraic entropy of σ_λ; it is either zero or infinite, depending exclusively on the properties of λ. This solves two problems posed in [2 Akhavin , M. , Ayatollah Zadeh Shirazi , F. , Dikranjan , D. , Giordano Bruno , A. , Hosseini , A. ( 2009 ). Algebraic entropy of shift endomorphisms on abelian groups . Quaest. Math. 32 : 529 – 550 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].
