Lie super-bialgebra structures on super-Virasoro algebra

In this paper we obtain that every super-Virasoro algebra admits only triangular coboundary Lie super-bialgebra structures and this is proved mainly based on the computation of derivations from the super-Virasoro algebra to the tensor product of its adjoint module.      

Deformations of the infinite-dimensional Lie algebra L 3

For the nilpotent infinite-dimensional Lie algebra L ₃, we compute the second cohomology group H ²(L ₃, L ₃) with coefficients in the adjoint module. Nontrivial cocycles are found in closed form, and Massey powers are computed for them.     

Modular Lie powers and the Solomon descent algebra

Let V be an r-dimensional vector space over an infinite field F of prime characteristic p, and let L_n(V) denote the nth homogeneous component of the free Lie algebra on V. We study the structure of L_n(V) as a module for the general linear group GL_r(F) when n=pk and k is not divisible by p and where r≥n. Our main result is an explicit 1-1 correspondence, multiplicity-preserving, between the indecomposable direct summands of L_k(V) and the indecomposable direct summands of L_n(V) which are not isomorphic to direct summands of V^⊗n. Our approach uses idempotents of the Solomon descent algebras, and in addition a correspondence theorem for permutation modules of symmetric groups.

Irreducible representations over the diamond Lie algebra

In this paper, we use Block’s results to classify irreducible modules over the diamond Lie algebra 𝔇. As a corollary, we also give a classification of irreducible modules over the Euclidean algebra 𝔢(2).     

Lie algebras and Lie super algebra for the integrable couplings of NLS–MKdV hierarchy

Lie algebras and Lie super algebra are constructed and integrable couplings of NLS–MKdV hierarchy are obtained. Furthermore, its Hamiltonian and Super-Hamiltonian are presented by using of quadric-form identity and super-trace identity. The method can be used to produce the Hamiltonian structures of the other integrable and super-integrable systems.

We prove that the Lie algebra of the McCool group M₃ is torsion free. As a result, we are able to give a presentation for the Lie algebra of M₃. Furthermore, M₃ is a Magnus group.     

Krull dimension of the enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra

Let be a complex semisimple Lie algebra and be its enveloping algebra. We deduce from the work of R. Bezrukavnikov, A. Braverman and L. Positselskii that the Krull-Gabriel-Rentschler dimension of is equal to the dimension of a Borel subalgebra of .

     

Special polynomials in free framed Lie algebra

A framed Lie algebra is an algebra with two operations which is a Lie algebra with respect to one of these operations. A basic example is a Lie algebra of vector fields on a manifold with connection where the covariant derivative serves as an additional operation. In a free framed Lie algebra, we distinguish a set of special polynomials that geometrically correspond to invariantly defined tensors. A necessary condition of being special is derived, and we presume that this condition is also sufficient. Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 47, No. 5, pp. 571–583, September–October, 2008.     

A property of the defining equations for the Lie algebra in the group classification problem for wave equations

We solve the group classification problem for nonlinear hyperbolic systems of differential equations. The admissible continuous group of transformations has the Lie algebra of dimension less than 5. This main statement follows from the principal property of the defining equations of the admissible Lie algebra: the commutator of two solutions is a solution. Using equivalence transformations we classify nonlinear systems in accordance with the well-known Lie algebra structures of dimension 3 and 4.     

The centralizer of an element in a Lie algebra of type L

In this paper, we investigate the Lie algebra L(A, α, δ) of type L and obtain the respective sufficient conditions for L(A, α,δ) to be semisimple, and for Z(ω) = Fω as well, where 0 ≠ ω ∈ L(A, α, δ) and Z(ω) is the centralizer of ω.     

Novikov algebras and Novikov structures on Lie algebras

We study ideals of Novikov algebras and Novikov structures on finite-dimensional Lie algebras. We present the first example of a three-step nilpotent Lie algebra which does not admit a Novikov structure. On the other hand we show that any free three-step nilpotent Lie algebra admits a Novikov structure. We study the existence question also for Lie algebras of triangular matrices. Finally we show that there are families of Lie algebras of arbitrary high solvability class which admit Novikov structures.     

The exotic conformal Galilei algebra and nonlinear partial differential equations

The conformal Galilei algebra (cga) and the exotic conformal Galilei algebra (ecga) are applied to construct partial differential equations (PDEs) and systems of PDEs, which admit these algebras. We show that there are no single second-order PDEs invariant under the cga but systems of PDEs can admit this algebra. Moreover, a wide class of nonlinear PDEs exists, which are conditionally invariant under cga. It is further shown that there are systems of nonlinear PDEs admitting ecga with the realisation obtained very recently in [D. Martelli, Y. Tachikawa, Comments on Galilei conformal field theories and their geometric realisation, preprint, arXiv:0903.5184v2 [hep-th], 2009]. Moreover, wide classes of nonlinear systems, invariant under two different 10-dimensional subalgebras of ecga are explicitly constructed and an example with possible physical interpretation is presented.     

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.
