AbstractLet M be a maximal subalgebra of the Lie algebra L. A subalgebra C of L is said to be a completion for M if C is not contained in M but every proper subalgebra of C that is an ideal of L is contained in M. The set I(M) of all completions of M is called the index complex of M in L. We use this concept to investigate the influence of the maximal subalgebras on the structure of a Lie algebra, in particular, finding new characterizations of solvable and supersolvable Lie algebras.

The Relationship

This paper is concerned with the relationship between the properties of the subalgebra lattice ℒ(L) of a Lie algebra L and the structure of L. If the lattice ℒ(L) is lower semimodular, then the Lie algebra L is said to be lower semimodular. If a subalgebra S of L is a modular element in the lattice ℒ(L), then S is called a modular subalgebra of L. The easiest condition to ensure that L is lower semimodular is that dim A/B = 1 whenever B < A ≤ L and B is maximal in A (Lie algebras satisfying this condition are called sχ-algebras). Our aim is to characterize lower semimodular Lie algebras and sχ-algebras, over any field of characteristic greater than three. Also, we obtain results about the influence of two solvable modularmaximal subalgebras on the structure of the Lie algebra and some results on the structure of Lie algebras all of whose maximal subalgebras are modular.

Split Extensions

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.

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.

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.

The purpose of this paper is twofold: first to correct the statement of Theorem 1 in [4], and secondly to consider related problems in the class of ideally finite Lie algebras.Throughout, L will denote a Lie algebra over a field K, F(L) will be its Frattini subalgebra and φ(L) its Frattini ideal. We will denote by the class of Lie algebras all of whose maximal subalgebras have codimension 1 in L. The Lie algebra with basis {u–1, u0, u1} and multiplication u–1u0 = u–1, u–1u1 = u0, u0u1 = u1 will be labelled L1(0).

Let denote the class of finite-dimensional Lie algebras L (over a fixed, but arbitrary, field F) all of whose maximal subalgebras have codimension 1 in L. In (2) Barnes proved that the solvable algebras in are precisely the supersolvable ones. The purpose of this paper is to extend this result and to give a characterisation of all of the algebras in . Throughout we shall place no restrictions on the underlying field of the Lie algebra.

Equations of hydrodynamic type with the equation of state in the form of pressure separated into a sum of density and entropy functions are considered. Such a system of equations admits a twelve-dimensional Lie algebra. In the case of the equation of state of the general form, the equations of gas dynamics admit an eleven-dimensional Lie algebra. For both Lie algebras the optimal systems of non-similar subalgebras are constructed. In this paper two partially invariant submodels of rank 3 defect 1 are constructed for two-dimensional subalgebras of the twelve-dimensional Lie algebra. The reduction of the constructed submodels to invariant submodels of eleven-dimensional and twelve-dimensional Lie algebras is proved.
