AbstractLie algebras whose finite-dimensional modules decompose into direct sums of modules involving only one type of irreducible are investigated. Some vanishing theorems for the cohomology of some infinite-dimensional Lie algebras are thereby obtained.

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.

We construct a family of infinite-dimensional quasigraded Lie algebras, that could be viewed as deformation of the graded loop algebras and admit Kostant–Adler scheme. Using them we obtain new integrable hamiltonian systems admitting Lax-type representations with the spectral parameter.

This paper classifies irreducible, integrable highest weight modules for “current Kac–Moody Algebras” with finite-dimensional weight spaces. We prove that these modules turn out to be modules of appropriate direct sums of finitely many copies of Kac–Moody Lie algebras.

Recent efforts to classify representations of supersymmetry with no central charge [C. F. Doran et al., Adv. Theor. Math. Phys.15, 1909 (2011)] have focused on supermultiplets that are aptly depicted by Adinkras, wherein every supersymmetry generator transforms each component field into precisely one other component field or its derivative. Herein, we study gauge-quotients of direct sums of Adinkras by a supersymmetric image of another Adinkra and thus solve a puzzle in the paper by Doran et al., Int. J. Mod. Phys. A22, 869 (2007): such (gauge-)quotients are not Adinkras but more general types of supermultiplets, each depicted as a connected network of Adinkras. Iterating this gauge-quotient construction then yields an indefinite sequence of ever larger supermultiplets, reminiscent of Weyl's construction that is known to produce all finite-dimensional unitary representations in Lie algebras.

In this paper, we give some equivalent conditions for Lie algebras to be isoclinic. In particular, it is shown that if two Lie algebras L and K are isoclinic then L can be constructed from K and vice versa using the operations of forming direct sums, taking subalgebras, and factoring Lie algebras. We also study connection between isoclinic and the Schur multiplier of Lie algebras. In addition, we deal with some properties of covers of Lie algebras whose Schur multipliers are finite dimensional and prove that all covers of any abelian Lie algebra have Hopfian property. Finally, we indicate that if a Lie algebra L belongs to some certain classes of Lie algebras then so does its cover.

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.

The first three sections of this chapter provide a thorough presentation of the concepts of basis and dimension. The approach is unified in the sense that it does not treat finite and infinite-dimensional spaces separately. Important concepts such as algebraic complements, quotient spaces, direct sums, projections, linear functionals, and invariant subspaces make their first debut in section 3.4. Section 3.5 is a brief summary of matrix representations and diagonalization. Then the chapter introduces normed linear spaces followed by an extensive study of inner product spaces. The presentation of inner product spaces in this section and in section 4.10 is not limited to finite-dimensional spaces but rather to the properties of inner products that do not require completeness. The chapter concludes with the finite-dimensional spectral theory.

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.
