Let us consider the following two problems:Problem A. Let g be a given Lie algebra over the real number field R. Then find all real, irreducible representations of g.Problem B. Let n be a given positive integer. Then find all irreducible subalgebras of the Lie algebra ôí(w, R) of all real matrices of degree n.

This paper considers the properties of the representation of a Lie algebra when restricted to an ideal, the subduced* representation of the ideal. This point of view leads to new forms for irreducible representations of Lie algebras, once the concept of matrices of invariance is developed. This concept permits us to show that irreducible representations of a Lie algebra, over an algebraically closed field, can be expressed as a Lie-Kronecker product whose factors are associated with the representation subduced on an ideal. Conversely, if one has such factors, it is shown that they can be put together to give an irreducible representation of the Lie algebra. A valuable guide to this work was supplied by a paper of Clifford (1).

AbstractIn addition to the results of the paper (Bachturin (1974)) we give the precise form of the necessary and sufficient conditions ensuring that all irreducible representations of a Lie algebra were of finite bounded degree.

Recently Cunningham and Valentine gave in (3) an axiomatic description of the one-dimensional real affine space in terms of its order structure and the (abstract) group of affine transformations It is the purpose of the present note to show that the system of axioms in (3) (cf. (L. 1)–(L. 5) of this note) leads in a natural way to a model of the real number field. Our method is suggested by a result of Hall ((4), p. 382), namely, that an infinite doubly transitive Frobenius group is isomorphic to the group of affine transformations in a near-field, provided that there is at most one transformation displacing all points and taking a given point a into a given point b. The salient point of our investigation is the redundancy of the latter condition in the case where the underlying space is endowed with a certain linear order structure which is invariant under the transformations of the given group.

AbstractWe give a survey of old and new results concerning the expressibility of the real roots of a solvable polynomial over a real number field by real radicals. A characterization of Fermat primes is obtained in terms of solvability by real radicals for certain ploynomials.

There are some simple facts which distinguish Lie-algebras over fields of prime characteristic from Lie-algebras over fields of characteristic zero. These are(1) The degrees of the absolutely irreducible representations of a Lie-algebra of prime characteristic are bounded whereas, according to a theorem of H. Weyl, the degrees of the absolutely irreducible representations of a semi-simple Lie-algebra over a field of characteristic zero can be arbitrarily high.(2) For each Lie-algebra of prime characteristic there are indecomposable representations which are not irreducible, whereas every indecomposable representation of a semi-simple Liealgebra over a field of characteristic zero is irreducible (cf. [4]).(3) The quotient ring of the embedding algebra of a Lie-algebra over a field of prime characteristic is a division algebra of finite dimension over its center, whereas this is not the case for characteristic zero. (cf. [4]).(4) There are faithful fully reducible representations of every Lie-algebra of prime characteristic, whereas for characteristic zero only ring sums of semi-simple Lie-algebras and abelian Lie-algebras admit faithful fully reducible representations (cf. [6], [2], [4]).
