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.

Finite Dimensional Lie Algebras

Let H be a finite or infinite dimensional Lie algebra. Barnes [2] and Towers [5] considered the case when H is a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over an arbitrary field, and all maximal subalgebras of H have codimension 1. Barnes, using the cohomology theory of Lie algebras, investigated solvable algebras, and Towers extended Barnes's results to include all Lie algebras. In [4] complex finite-dimensional Lie algebras were considered for the case when all the maximal subalgebras of H are not necessarily of codimension 1 but whenwhere S(H) is the set of all Lie subalgebras in H of codimension 1. Amayo [1]investigated the finite-dimensional Lie algebras with core-free subalgebras of codimension 1 and also obtained some interesting results about the structure of infinite dimensional Lie algebras with subalgebras of codimension 1.

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.)

Given a maximal subalgebra M of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra L, a θ-pair for M is a pair (A, B) of subalgebras such that A ≰ M, B is an ideal of L contained in A ∩ M, and A/B includes properly no nonzero ideal of L/B. This is analogous to the concept of θ-pairs associated to maximal subgroups of a finite group, which has been studied by a number of authors. A θ-pair (A, B) for M is said to be maximal if M has no θ-pair (C, D) such that A < C. In this paper, we obtain some properties of maximal θ-pairs and use them to give some characterizations of solvable, supersolvable and nilpotent Lie algebras.

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 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.

Algebraic Representations

Let L be any simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra (defined over the field K of complex numbers). Cartan's theory of weights is used to define sets of (algebraic) representations of L that can be characterized in terms of left ideals of the universal enveloping algebra of L. These representations, called standard, generalize irreducible representations that possess a dominant weight. The newly obtained representations are all infinite-dimensional. Their study is initiated here by obtaining a partial solution to the problem of characterizing them by means of sequences of elements in K.
