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.

Finite Dimensional Lie Algebras

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.

Finite Dimensional Lie Algebras

AbstractThe classification of complex or real finite dimensional Lie algebras which are not semi simple is still in its early stages. For example, the nilpotent Lie algebras are classified only up to dimension 7. Moreover, to recognize a given Lie algebra in the classification list is not so easy. In this work, we propose a different approach to this problem. We determine families for some fixed invariants and the classification follows by a deformation process or a contraction process. We focus on the case of 2- and 3-step nilpotent Lie algebras. We describe in both cases a deformation cohomology for this type of algebras and the algebras which are rigid with respect to this cohomology. Other

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.

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.

Throughout we shall consider only finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero. In [3] it was shown that the classes of solvable and of supersolvable Lie algebras of dimension greater than two are characterised by the structure of their subalgebra lattices. The same is true of the classes of simple and of semisimple Lie algebras of dimension greater than three. However, it is not true of the class of nilpotent Lie algebras. We seek here the smallest class containing all nilpotent Lie algebras which is so characterised.

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.

Finite Dimensional Lie Algebras

Multistring vertices and the overlap identities which they satisfy are exploited to understand properties of hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras, in particular E10. Since any such algebra can be embedded in the larger Lie algebra of physical states of an associated completely compactified subcritical bosonic string, one can in principle determine the root spaces by analyzing which (positive norm) physical states decouple from the N-string vertex. Consequently, the Lie algebra of physical states decomposes into a direct sum of the hyperbolic algebra and the space of decoupled states. Both these spaces contain transversal and longitudinal states. Longitudinal decoupling holds more generally, and may also be valid for uncompactified strings, with possible consequences for Liouville theory; the identification of the decoupled states simply amounts to finding the zeroes of certain “decoupling polynomials.” This is not the case for transversal decoupling, which crucially depends on special properties of the root lattice, as we explicitly demonstrate for a nontrivial root space of E10· Because the N-vertices of the compactified string contain the complete information about decoupling, all the properties of the hyperbolic algebra are encoded into them. In view of the integer grading of hyperbolic algebras such as E10 by the level, these algebras can be interpreted as interacting strings moving on the respective group manifolds associated with the underlying finite-dimensional Lie algebras.

We study gradings by non-commutative groups on finite dimensional Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. It is shown that if L is graded by a non-abelian finite group G, then the solvable radical R of L is G-graded and there exists a Levi subalgebra B=H1⊕ ⋯ ⊕ Hm homogeneous in G-grading with graded simple summands H1,…,Hm. All Supp Hi (i=1,…,m) are commutative subsets of G.
