Algebra Over A Field

A theorem independently due to A.I. Shirshov and E. Witt asserts that every subalgebra of a free Lie algebra (over a field) is free. The main step in Shirshov's proof is a little known but rather remarkable result: if a set of homogeneous elements in a free Lie algebra has the property that no element of it is contained in the subalgebra generated by the other elements, then this subset is a free generating set for the subalgebra it generates. Witt also proved that every subalgebra of a free restricted Lie algebra is free. Later G.P. Kukin gave a proof of this theorem in which he adapted Shirshov's argument. The main step is similar, but it has come to light that its proof contains substantial gaps. Here we give a corrected proof of this main step in order to justify its applications elsewhere.

Algebra Over A Field

AbstractLet L be a restricted Lie algebra over a field of characteristic p. Denote by u(L) its restricted enveloping algebra and by ωu(L) the augmentation ideal of u(L). We give an explicit description for the dimension subalgebras of L, namely those ideals of L defined by Dn(L) - L∩ωu(L)n for each n ≥ 1. Using this expression we describe the nilpotence index of ωU(L). We also give a precise characterisation of those L for which ωu(L) is a residually nilpotent ideal. In this case we show that the minimal number of elements required to generate an arbitrary ideal of u(L) is finitely bounded if and only if L contains a 1-generated restricted subalgebra of finite codimension. Subsequently we examine certain analogous aspects of the Lie structure of u(L). In particular we characterise L for which u(L) is residually nilpotent when considered as a Lie algebra, and give a formula for the Lie nilpotence index of u(L). This formula is then used to describe the nilpotence class of the group of units of u(L).

Algebra Over A Field

A palindrome, in general, is a word in a fixed alphabet which is preserved when taken in reverse order. Let [Formula: see text] be the free metabelian Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero generated by [Formula: see text]. We propose the following definition of palindromes in the setting of Lie algebras: An element [Formula: see text] is called a palindrome if it is preserved under the change of generators; i.e. [Formula: see text]. We give a linear basis and an explicit infinite generating set for the Lie subalgebra of palindromes.

Let L be a free restricted Lie algebra and R a restricted ideal of L. Denote by u(L) the restricted enveloping algebra of L and by ω(L) the associative ideal of u(L) generated by L. The purpose of this paper is to identify the subalgebra R ∩ ωn(L)ω(R) in terms of R only. This problem is the analogue of the Fox problem for free groups.

Transitive Actions

We study a growth of subalgebras for restricted Lie algebras over a finite field 𝔽q. This kind of growth is an analog of the subgroup growth in the group theory. Let L be a finitely generated restricted Lie algebra. Then an(L) is the number of restricted subalgebras H ⊂ L such that dim 𝔽q L/H = n, n ≥ 0. We compute the numbers an(Fd) explicitly and find asymptotics, where Fd is the free restricted Lie algebra of rank d, d ≥ 1. As an important instrument, we use the notion of transitive L-action on coalgebras and algebras.

Minimal Formula

In the late 1980s, Premet conjectured that the nilpotent variety of any finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic [Formula: see text] is irreducible. This conjecture remains open, but it is known to hold for a large class of simple restricted Lie algebras, e.g. for Lie algebras of connected algebraic groups, and for Cartan series [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, with the assumption that [Formula: see text], we confirm this conjecture for the minimal [Formula: see text]-envelope [Formula: see text] of the Zassenhaus algebra [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text].

In this note we analyse the analogy between m-potent and p-central restricted Lie algebras and p-groups. For restricted Lie algebras the notion of m-potency has stronger implications than for p-groups (Theorem A). Every finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra  is isomorphic to for some finite-dimensional p-central restricted Lie algebra (Proposition B). In particular, for restricted Lie algebras there does not hold an analogue of J.Buckley's theorem. For p odd one can characterise powerful restricted Lie algebras in terms of the cup product map in the same way as for finite p-groups (Theorem C). Moreover, the p-centrality of the finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra  has a strong implication on the structure of the cohomology ring H•(,) (Theorem D).

Equivalent Class

Let R be a principal and integral domain. We say that two differential graded free Lie algebras over R (free dgl for short) are weakly equivalent if and only if the homologies of their corresponding enveloping universal algebras are isomophic. This paper is devoted to the problem of how we can characterize the weakly equivalent class of a free dgl. Our tool to address this question is the Whitehead exact sequence. We show, under a certain condition, that two R-free dgls are weakly equivalent if and only if their Whitehead sequences are isomorphic.

Algebra Over A Field

Abstract Let $K$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with identity, let $A$ be a $K$-algebra and let $B$ be a subalgebra of $A$ such that $A/B$ is finitely generated as a $K$-module. The main result of the paper is that $A$ is finitely presented (resp. finitely generated) if and only if $B$ is finitely presented (resp. finitely generated). As corollaries, we obtain: a subring of finite index in a finitely presented ring is finitely presented; a subalgebra of finite co-dimension in a finitely presented algebra over a field is finitely presented (already shown by Voden in 2009). We also discuss the role of the Noetherian assumption on $K$ and show that for finite generation it can be replaced by a weaker condition that the module $A/B$ be finitely presented. Finally, we demonstrate that the results do not readily extend to non-associative algebras, by exhibiting an ideal of co-dimension $1$ of the free Lie algebra of rank 2 which is not finitely generated as a Lie algebra.

Direct Decompositions

AbstractLet r be a positive integer, F a field of odd prime characteristic p, and L the free Lie algebra of rank r over F. Consider L a module for the symmetric group , of all permutations of a free generating set of L. The homogeneous components Ln of L are finite dimensional submodules, and L is their direct sum. For p ≤ r ≤ 2p, the main results of this paper identify the non-porojective indecomposable direct summands of the Ln as Specht modules or dual Specht modules corresponding to certain partitions. For the case r = p, the multiplicities of these indecomposables in the direct decompositions of the Ln are also determined, as are the multiplicities of the projective indecomposables. (Corresponding results for p = 2 have been obtained elsewhere.)
