We investigate the existence of affine structures on nilmanifolds Γ\G in the case where the Lie algebra g of the Lie group G is filiform nilpotent of dimension less or equal to 11. Here we obtain examples of nilmanifolds without any affine structure in dimensions 10, 11. These are new counterexamples to the Milnor conjecture. So far examples in dimension 11 were known where the proof is complicated, see [5] and [4]. Using certain 2-cocycles we realize the filiform Lie algebras as deformation algebras from a standard graded filiform algebra. Thus we study the affine algebraic variety of complex filiform nilpotent Lie algebra structures of a given dimension ≤11. This approach simplifies the calculations, and the counterexamples in dimension 10 are less complicated than the known ones. We also obtain results for the minimal dimension µ(g) of a faithful g-module for these filiform Lie algebras g.

In this paper, we compute minimal faithful representations of filiform Lie algebras by means of strictly upper-triangular matrices. To obtain such representations, we use nilpotent Lie algebras [Formula: see text]n, of n × n strictly upper-triangular matrices, because any given (filiform) nilpotent Lie algebra [Formula: see text] admits a Lie-algebra isomorphism with a subalgebra of [Formula: see text]n for some n ∈ ℕ\{1}. In this sense, we search for the lowest natural integer n such that the Lie algebra [Formula: see text]n contains the filiform Lie algebra [Formula: see text] as a subalgebra. Additionally, we give a representative of each representation.

In the present paper, we study some properties of the Heisenberg Lie algebra of dimension . The main purpose of this research is to construct a real Frobenius Lie algebra from the Heisenberg Lie algebra of dimension . To achieve this, we exhibit  how to compute the derivation of the Heisenberg Lie algebra by following Oom’s result. In this research, we use a literature review method to some related papers corresponding to a derivation of a Lie algebra, Frobenius Lie algebras, and Plancherel measure. Determining a conjecture of a real Frobenius Lie algebra is obtained. As the main result, we prove that conjecture. Namely, for the given the Heisenberg Lie algebra, there exists a commutative subalgebra of dimension one such that its semi direct sum is a real Frobenius Lie algebra of dimension . Futhermore, in the notion of the Lie group of the Heisenberg Lie algebra which is called the Heisenberg Lie group, we compute the generalized character of its group  and we determine the Plancherel measure of the unitary dual of the Heisenberg Lie group. As our contributions, we complete some examples of Frobenius Lie algebras obtained from a nilpotent Lie algebra and we also give alternative computations to find the Plancherel measure of the Heisenberg Lie group.

Every affine structure on Lie algebra𝔤defines a representation of𝔤inaff(ℝn). If𝔤is a nilpotent Lie algebra provided with a complete affine structure then the corresponding representation is nilpotent. We describe noncomplete affine structures on the filiform Lie algebraLn. As a consequence we give a nonnilpotent faithful linear representation of the 3-dimensional Heisenberg algebra.

In this paper we develop a theory for analysing the "radius" of the Lie algebra of a matrix Lie group, which is a measure of the size of its commutators. Complete details are given for the Lie algebra 𝔰𝔬(n) of skew symmetric matrices where we prove [Formula: see text], X, Y ∈ 𝔰𝔬(n), for the Frobenius norm. We indicate how these ideas might be extended to other matrix Lie algebras. We discuss why these ideas are of interest in applications such as geometric integration and optimal control.

We study automorphisms and derivations of a Lie algebra L of finite dimension satisfying certain centrality conditions. As a consequence, we obtain that every nilpotent normal subgroup of the automorphism group of L is unipotent for a very large class of Lie algebras. This result extends one of Leger and Luks. We show that the automorphism group of a nilpotent Lie algebra can have trivial center and have yet a unipotent identity component.

Many theorems and formulas of Lie superalgebras run quite parallel to Lie algebras, sometimes giving interesting results. So it is quite natural to extend the new concepts of Lie algebra immediately to Lie superalgebra case as the later type of algebras have wide applications in physics and related theories. Using the concept of isoclinism, Saeedi and Sheikh-Mohseni [A characterization of stem algebras in terms of central derivations, Algebr. Represent. Theory 20 (2017) 1143–1150; On [Formula: see text]-derivations of Filippov algebra, to appear in Asian-Eur. J. Math.; S. Sheikh-Mohseni, F. Saeedi and M. Badrkhani Asl, On special subalgebras of derivations of Lie algebras, Asian-Eur. J. Math. 8(2) (2015) 1550032] recently studied the central derivation of nilpotent Lie algebra with nilindex 2. The purpose of the present paper is to continue and extend the investigation to obtain some similar results for Lie superalgebras, as isoclinism in Lie superalgebra is being recently introduced.

In this paper, we introduce a new definition for nilpotent fuzzy Lie ideal, which is a well-defined extension of nilpotent Lie ideal in Lie algebras, and we name it a good nilpotent fuzzy Lie ideal. Then we prove that a Lie algebra is nilpotent if and only if any fuzzy Lie ideal of it, is a good nilpotent fuzzy Lie ideal. In particular, we construct a nilpotent Lie algebra via a good nilpotent fuzzy Lie ideal. Also, we prove that with some conditions, every good nilpotent fuzzy Lie ideal is finite. Finally, we define an Engel fuzzy Lie ideal, and we show that every Engel fuzzy Lie ideal of a finite Lie algebra is a good nilpotent fuzzy Lie ideal. We think that these notions could be useful to solve some problems of Lie algebras with nilpotent fuzzy Lie ideals.

Abstract The metric approach to studying 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras by making use of non-degenerate scalar products is realised. We show that a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra is isomorphic to its standard pseudo-metric form, that is a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra endowed with some standard non-degenerate scalar product compatible with the Lie bracket. This choice of the standard pseudo-metric form allows us to study the isomorphism properties. If the elements of the centre of the standard pseudo-metric form constitute a Lie triple system of the pseudo-orthogonal Lie algebra, then the original 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra admits integer structure constants. Among particular applications we prove that pseudo H-type algebras have bases with rational structure constants, which implies that the corresponding pseudo H-type groups admit lattices.

This paper shows an algorithm which computes the law of the Lie algebra associated with the complex Lie group of n × n upper-triangular matrices with exponential elements in their main diagonal. For its implementation two procedures are used, respectively, to define a basis of the Lie algebra and the nonzero brackets in its law with respect to that basis. These brackets constitute the final output of the algorithm, whose unique input is the matrix order n. Besides, its complexity is proved to be polynomial and some complementary computational data relative to its implementation are also shown.
