AbstractIn this note, we will prove that a finite-dimensional Lie algebra L over a field of characteristic zero, admitting an abelian algebra of derivations D≤Der(L), with the property for some n>1, is necessarily solvable. As a result, we show that if L has a derivation d:L→L such that Ln⊆d(L), for some n>1, then L is solvable.

AbstractLet R be a commutative integral unital domain and L a free noncommutative Lie algebra over R. In this article we show that the ring R and its action on L are 0-interpretable in L, viewed as a ring with the standard ring language $+ , \cdot ,0$. Furthermore, if R has characteristic zero then we prove that the elementary theory $Th\left( L \right)$ of L in the standard ring language is undecidable. To do so we show that the arithmetic ${\Bbb N} = \langle {\Bbb N}, + , \cdot ,0\rangle $ is 0-interpretable in L. This implies that the theory of $Th\left( L \right)$ has the independence property. These results answer some old questions on model theory of free Lie algebras.

Our aim in this paper is to study a certain class of Lie algebras which arose naturally in (4). In (4), we showed that beginning with an indecomposable symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix (A ij) and a field Φ of characteristic zero, we could construct a Lie algebra E((A ij)) over Φ patterned on the finite-dimensional split simple Lie algebras. We were able to show that E((A ij)) is simple providing that (A ij) does not fall in the list given in (4, Table). We did not prove the converse, however.The diagrams of the table of (4) appear in Table 2. Call the matrices that they represent Euclidean matrices and their corresponding algebras Euclidean Lie algebras. Our first objective is to show that Euclidean Lie algebras are not simple.

Given a Lie algebra 𝔤 over a field of characteristic zero k, let μ(𝔤) = min{dim π : π is a faithful representation of 𝔤}. Let 𝔥m be the Heisenberg Lie algebra of dimension 2m + 1 over k and let k [t] be the polynomial algebra in one variable. Given m ∈ ℕ and p ∈ k [t], let 𝔥m, p = 𝔥m ⊗ k [t]/(p) be the current Lie algebra associated to 𝔥m and k [t]/(p), where (p) is the principal ideal in k [t] generated by p. In this paper we prove that [Formula: see text]. We also prove a result that gives information about the structure of a commuting family of operators on a finite dimensional vector space. From it is derived the well-known theorem of Schur on maximal abelian subalgebras of 𝔤𝔩(n, k ).

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.

SynopsisA subalgebra M of a Lie algebra L is called modular in L if M is a modular element in the lattice of the subalgebras of L. Our aim is to study the finite-dimensional Lie algebras all of whose maximal subalgebras are modular. We characterize these algebras over any field of characteristic zero.

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.

Toral Rank

If 𝔫 is a [Formula: see text]-graded nilpotent finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero, a well-known result of Deninger and Singhof states that dim H*(𝔫) ≥ L(p) where p is the polynomial associated to the grading and L(p) is the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients of p. From this result they derived the Toral Rank Conjecture (TRC) for 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras. An algebraic version of the TRC states that dim H*(𝔫) ≥ 2 dim (ℨ) for any finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra 𝔫 with center ℨ. The TRC is more than 25 years old and remains open even for [Formula: see text]-graded 3-step nilpotent Lie algebras. Investigating to what extent the bound given by Deninger and Singhof could help to prove the TRC in this case, we considered the following two questions regarding a nilpotent Lie algebra 𝔫 with center ℨ: (A) If 𝔫 admits a [Formula: see text]-grading [Formula: see text], such that its associated polynomial p satisfies L(p) > 2 dim ℨ, does 𝔫 admit a ℤ+-grading [Formula: see text] such that its associated polynomial p′ satisfies L(p′) > 2 dim ℨ? (B) If 𝔫 is r-step nilpotent admitting a grading 𝔫 = 𝔫1 ⊕ 𝔫2 ⊕ ⋯ ⊕ 𝔫k such that its associated polynomial p satisfies L(p) > 2 dim ℨ, does 𝔫 admit a grading [Formula: see text] such that its associated polynomial p′ satisfies L(p′) > 2 dim ℨ? In this paper we show that the answer to (A) is yes, but the answer to (B) is no.

Let L denote a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic zero. It is well known that every finite-dimension 1, irreducible representation of L admits a weight space decomposition; moreover every irreducible representation of L having at least one weight space admits a weight space decomposition.

AbstractLet L be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let I be the T-ideal of polynomial identities of the adjoint representation of L. We prove that the number of multilinear central polynomials in n variables, linearly independent modulo I, grows exponentially like {(\dim L)^{n}}.
