Let g be a semi-simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0. For finite dimensional representations of g, the following important results are known; 1) H1(g, V) = 0 for any finite dimensional g space V. This is equivalent to the complete reducibility of all the finite dimensional representations,2) Determination of all irreducible representations in connection with their highest weights.3) Weyl’s formula for the character of irreducible representations [9].4) Kostant’s formula for the multiplicity of weights of irreducible representations [6],5) The law of the decomposition of the tensor product of two irreducible representations [1].

In a long sequence of notes in the Comptes Rendus and elsewhere, and in the papers [1], [2], [3], [6], [7], Lichnerowicz and his collaborators have studied the ‘classical infinite-dimensional Lie algebras’, their derivations, automorphisms, co-homology, and other properties. The most familiar of these algebras is the Lie algebra of C∞ vector fields on a C∞ manifold. Another is the Lie algebra of ‘Poisson brackets’, that is, of C∞ functions on a C∞ symplectic manifold, with the Poisson bracket as composition; some questions concerning this algebra are of considerable interest in the theory of quantization – see, for instance, [2] and [3].

Solvable Lie Algebras

Weight systems are constructed with solvable Lie algebras and their infinite dimensional representations. With a Heisenberg Lie algebra and its polynomial representations, the derived weight system vanishes on Jacobi diagrams with positive loop-degree on a circle, and it is proved that the derived knot invariant is the inverse of the Alexander-Conway polynomial.

Ascending Chain Condition

In [2], we considered a class of Lie algebras generalizing the classical simple Lie algebras. Using a field Φ of characteristic zero and a square matrix (Aij) of integers with the properties (1) Aii = 2, (2) Aij ≦ 0 if i ≠ j, (3) Aij = 0 if and only if Ajt = 0, and (4) is symmetric for some appropriate non-zero rational a Lie algebra E = E((Aij)) over Φ can be constructed, together with the usual accoutrements: a root system, invariant bilinear form, and Weyl group.For indecomposable (A ij), E is simple except when (Aij) is singular and removal of any row and corresponding column of (Aij) leaves a Cartan matrix. The non-simple Es, Euclidean Lie algebras, were our object of study in [3] as well as in the present paper. They are infinite-dimensional, have ascending chain condition on ideals, and proper ideals are of finite codimension.
