We introduce the concept of Cartan decomposition relative to a Cartan subalgebra H in the sense of Y. Billig and A. Pianzola for involutive complex Lie algebras L of arbitrary dimension. If L has such a decomposition and is infinite dimensional and simple, we show it is *-isomorphic to a direct limit of classical finite dimensional simple involutive Lie algebras of the same type A, B, C, or D.

We show that automorphic Lie algebras which contain a Cartan subalgebra with a constant-spectrum, called hereditary, are completely described by 2-cocycles on a classical root system taking only two different values. This observation suggests a novel approach to their classification. By determining the values of the cocycles on opposite roots, we obtain the Killing form and the abelianization of the automorphic Lie algebra. The results are obtained by studying equivariant vectors on the projective line. As a byproduct, we describe a method to reduce the computation of the infinite-dimensional space of said equivariant vectors to a finite-dimensional linear computation and the determination of the ring of automorphic functions on the projective line.

The paper is devoted to the study of graded-simple modules and gradings on simple modules over finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. In general, a connection between these two objects is given by the so-called loop construction. We review the main features of this construction as well as necessary and sufficient conditions under which finite-dimensional simple modules can be graded. Over the Lie algebra sl2(C), we consider specific gradings on simple modules of arbitrary dimension.

Infinite-dimensional soluble Lie algebras can possess maximal subalgebras which are finite-dimensional. We give a fairly complete description of such algebras: over a field of prime characteristic they do not exist; over a field of zero characteristic then, modulo the core of the aforesaid maximal subalgebra, they are split extensions of an abelian minimal ideal by the maximal subalgebra. If the field is algebraically closed, or if the maximal subalgebra is supersoluble, then all finite-dimensional maximal subalgebras are conjugate under the group of automorphisms generated by exponentials of inner derivations by elements of the Fitting radical. An example is given to indicate the differences encountered in the insoluble case, and the nonexistence of group-theoretic analogues is briefly discussed.

We construct a family of infinite-dimensional quasigraded Lie algebras, that could be viewed as deformation of the graded loop algebras and admit Kostant–Adler scheme. Using them we obtain new integrable hamiltonian systems admitting Lax-type representations with the spectral parameter.

The aim of this paper is to give an overview and to compare the different deformation theories of algebraic structures. In each case we describe the corresponding notions of degeneration and rigidity. We illustrate these notions by examples and give some general properties. The last part of this work shows how these notions help in the study of varieties of associative algebras. The first and popular deformation approach was introduced by M. Gerstenhaber for rings and algebras using formal power series. A noncommutative version was given by Pinczon and generalized by F. Nadaud. A more general approach called global deformation follows from a general theory by Schlessinger and was developed by A. Fialowski in order to deform infinite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras. In a nonstandard framework, M. Goze introduced the notion of perturbation for studying the rigidity of finite-dimensional complex Lie algebras. All these approaches share the common fact that we make an “extension” of the field. These theories may be applied to any multilinear structure. In this paper, we will be dealing with the category of associative algebras.

A left Bol loop satisfying the automorphic inverse property is called a K-loop or a gyrocommutative gyrogroup. K-loops have been in the centre of attraction since its first discovery by A.A. Ungar in the context of Einstein's 1905 relativistic theory. In this paper some of the infinite dimensional K-loops are built from the direct limit of finite dimensional group transversals.

A well known result in the theory of Lie algebras, due to H. Zassenhaus, states that if is a finite dimensional Lie algebra over the field K such that the killing form of is non-degenerate, then the derivations of are all inner, [3, p. 74]. In particular, this applies to the finite dimensional split simple Lie algebras over fields of characteristic zero. In this paper we extend this result to a class of Lie algebras which generalize the split simple Lie algebras, and which are defined by Cartan matrices (for a definition see § 1). Because of the fact that the algebras we consider are usually infinite dimensional, the method we employ in our investigation is quite different from the standard one used in the finite dimensional case, and makes no reference to any associative bilinear form on the algebras.

Infinite-dimensional algebras associated with simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra g are considered. Higher-spin generalizations of sl(2) are studied in detail. Those of the Virasoro algebra are viewed as their "analytic continuations". Applications in higher-spin theory and in conformal QFT are discussed.

AbstractA pro-Lie group is a projective limit of a family of finite-dimensional Lie groups. In this paper we show that a pro-Lie group G is a Lie group in the sense that its topology is compatible with a smooth manifold structure for which the group operations are smooth if and only if G is locally contractible. We also characterize the corresponding pro-Lie algebras in various ways. Furthermore, we characterize those pro-Lie groups which are locally exponential, that is, they are Lie groups with a smooth exponential function which maps a zero neighbourhood in the Lie algebra diffeomorphically onto an open identity neighbourhood of the group.

The cohomology of Lie (super)algebras has many important applications in mathematics and physics. It carries most fundamental ("topological") information about algebra under consideration. At present, because of the need for very tedious algebraic computation, the explicitly computed cohomology for different classes of Lie (super)algebras is known only in a few cases. That is why application of computer algebra methods is important for this problem. We describe here an algorithm and its C implementation for computing the cohomology of Lie algebras and superalgebras. The program can proceed finite-dimensional algebras and infinite-dimensional graded algebras with finite-dimensional homogeneous components. Among the last algebras, Lie algebras and superalgebras of formal vector fields are most important. We present some results of computation of cohomology for Lie superalgebras of Buttin vector fields and related algebras. These algebras being super-analogs of Poisson and Hamiltonian algebras have found many applications to modern supersymmetric models of theoretical and mathematical physics.
