On Exact Courant Algebras

In this note, we will show that exact Courant algebras over a Lie algebra 𝔤 can be characterized via Leibniz 2-cocycles, and the automorphism group of a given exact Courant algebra is in a one-to-one correspondence with first Leibniz cohomology space of 𝔤.     

Varieties of dialgebras and conformal algebras

We introduce and study the concept of a variety of dialgebras which is closely related to the concept of a variety of conformal algebras: Each dialgebra of a given variety embeds into an appropriate conformal algebra of the same variety. In particular, the Leibniz algebras are exactly Lie dialgebras, and each Leibniz algebra embeds into a conformal Lie algebra.

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.

From Lie algebra crossed modules to tensor hierarchies

The present paper, though inspired by the use of tensor hierarchies in theoretical physics, establishes their mathematical credentials, especially as genetically related to Lie algebra crossed modules. Gauging procedures in supergravity rely on a pairing – the embedding tensor – between a Leibniz algebra and a Lie algebra. Two such algebras, together with their embedding tensor, form a triple called a Lie-Leibniz triple, of which Lie algebra crossed modules are particular cases. This paper is devoted to showing that any Lie-Leibniz triple induces a differential graded Lie algebra – its associated tensor hierarchy – whose restriction to the category of Lie algebra crossed modules is the canonical assignment associating to any Lie algebra crossed module its corresponding unique 2-term differential graded Lie algebra. This shows that Lie-Leibniz triples form natural generalizations of Lie algebra crossed modules and that their associated tensor hierarchies can be considered as some kind of ‘lie-ization’ of the former. We deem the present construction of such tensor hierarchies clearer and more straightforward than previous derivations. We stress that such a construction suggests the existence of further well-defined Leibniz gauge theories.

Ext groups in the category of bimodules over a simple Leibniz algebra

In this article, we generalize Loday and Pirashvili's [11] computation of the Ext-category of Leibniz bimodules for a simple Lie algebra to the case of a simple (non Lie) Leibniz algebra. Most of the arguments generalize easily, while the main new ingredient is the Feldvoss-Wagemann's cohomology vanishing theorem for semi-simple Leibniz algebras.     

Conformal representations of Leibniz algebras

We study the embedding construction of Lie dialgebras (Leibniz algebras) into conformal algebras. This construction leads to the concept of a conformal representation of Leibniz algebras. We prove that each (finite-dimensional) Leibniz algebra possesses a faithful linear representation (of finite type). As a corollary we give a new proof of the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem for Leibniz algebras.     

A Characterization of Nilpotent Leibniz Algebras

W. A. Moens proved that a Lie algebra is nilpotent if and only if it admits an invertible Leibniz-derivation. In this paper, using the definition of a Leibniz-derivation from Moens (2010), we show that a similar result for non-Lie Leibniz algebras is not true. Namely, we give an example of non-nilpotent Leibniz algebra that admits an invertible Leibniz-derivation. In order to extend the results of the paper by Moens (2010) for Leibniz algebras, we introduce a definition of a Leibniz-derivation of Leibniz algebras that agrees with Leibniz-derivation of the Lie algebra case. Further, we prove that a Leibniz algebra is nilpotent if and only if it admits an invertible Leibniz-derivation of Definition 3.4. Moreover, the result that a solvable radical of a Lie algebra is invariant with respect to a Leibniz-derivation was extended to the case of Leibniz algebras.     

Leibniz Central Extensions on Some Infinite-Dimensional Lie Algebras

Abstract

In this paper, all one-dimensional Leibniz central extensions on the algebras of differential operators over C[t, t ^?1] and C((t)), as well as on the quantum 2-torus, the Virasoro-like algebra and its q-analog are studied. We determine all nontrivial Leibniz 2-cocycles on these infinite dimensional Lie algebras.     

Classifying Several Classes of Leibniz Algebras

We extend results related to maximal subalgebras and ideals from Lie to Leibniz algebras. In particular, we classify minimal non-elementary Leibniz algebras and Leibniz algebras with a unique maximal ideal. In both cases, there are types of these algebras with no Lie algebra analogue. We also give a classification of E-Leibniz algebras which is very similiar to its Lie algebra counterpart. Note that a classification of elementary Leibniz algebras has been shown in Batten Ray et al. (2011).     

Classification of solvable Leibniz algebras with null-filiform nilradical

In this article we classify solvable Leibniz algebras whose nilradical is a null-filiform algebra. We extend the obtained classification to the case when the solvable Leibniz algebra is decomposed as a direct sum of its nilradical, which is a direct sum of null-filiform ideals and a one-dimensional complementary subspace. Moreover, in this case we establish that these ideals are ideals of the algebra as well.     

On non-Abelian Leibniz cohomology

In this note, by using a generalized notion of the Leibniz algebra of derivations, we present the constructions of the zero, first, and second non-Abelian Leibniz cohomologies with coefficients in crossed modules, which generalize the classical zero, first, and second Leibniz cohomology. For Lie algebras we compare the non-Abelian Leibniz and Lie cohomologies. We describe the second non-Abelian Leibniz cohomology via extensions of Leibniz algebras by crossed modules.     

On the Leibniz Cohomology of Vector Fields

Gelfand and Fuks have studied the cohomology of the Lie algebra of vector fields on a manifold. In this article, we generalize their main tools to compute the Leibniz cohomology, by extending the two spectral sequences associated to the diagonal and the order filtration. In particular, we determine some new generators for the diagonal Leibniz cohomology of the Lie algebra of vector fields on the circle.
