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.

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.

AbstractWe investigate a class of infinite-dimensional, modular, graded Lie algebra in which the homogeneous components have dimension at most two. A subclass of these algebras can be obtained via a twisted loop algebra construction from certain finite-dimensional, simple Lie algebras of Albert-Frank type.Another subclass of these algebras is strictly related to certain graded Lie algebras of maximal class, and exhibits a wide range of behaviours.

In this paper, we studied the jet modules for the centerless Virasoro-like algebra which is the Lie algebra of the Lie group of the area-preserving diffeomorphisms of a [Formula: see text]-torus. The jet modules are certain natural modules over the Lie algebra of semi-direct product of the centerless Virasoro-like algebra and the Laurent polynomial algebra in two variables. We reduce the irreducible jet modules to the finite-dimensional irreducible modules over some infinite-dimensional Lie algebra and then characterize the irreducible jet modules with irreducible finite dimensional modules over [Formula: see text]. To determine the indecomposable jet modules, we use the technique of polynomial modules in the sense of [Irreducible representations for toroidal Lie algebras, J. Algebras 221 (1999) 188–231; Weight modules over exp-polynomial Lie algebras, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 191 (2004) 23–42]. Consequently, indecomposable jet modules are described using modules over the algebra [Formula: see text], which is the “positive part” of a Block type algebra studied first by [Some infinite-dimensional simple Lie algebras in characteristic [Formula: see text] related to those of Block, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 127(2) (1998) 153–165] and recently by [A [Formula: see text]-graded generalization of the Witt-algebra, preprint; Classification of simple Lie algebras on a lattice, Proc. London Math. Soc. 106(3) (2013) 508–564]).

Infinite Dimensional Lie Algebra

With any semisimple Lie algebra g we can associate an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra AC (g) which is an analytic continuation of g from its root system to its root lattice. The manifest expressions for the structure constants of analytic continuations of the symplectic Lie algebras sp 2n are obtained by the Poisson-bracket realizations method and AC (g) for g = sl n and so n are discussed. The representations, central extension, supersymmetric and higher spin generalizations are considered. The Virasoro theory is a particular case where g = sp 2.

AbstractA Hom-structure on a Lie algebra (g,[,]) is a linear map σ W g σ g which satisfies the Hom-Jacobi identity: [σ(x), [y,z]] + [σ(y), [z,x]] + [σ(z),[x,y]] = 0 for all x; y; z ∈ g. A Hom-structure is referred to as multiplicative if it is also a Lie algebra homomorphism. This paper aims to determine explicitly all the Homstructures on the finite-dimensional semi-simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. As a Hom-structure on a Lie algebra is not necessarily a Lie algebra homomorphism, the method developed for multiplicative Hom-structures by Jin and Li in [J. Algebra 319 (2008): 1398–1408] does not work again in our case. The critical technique used in this paper, which is completely different from that in [J. Algebra 319 (2008): 1398– 1408], is that we characterize the Hom-structures on a semi-simple Lie algebra g by introducing certain reduction methods and using the software GAP. The results not only improve the earlier ones in [J. Algebra 319 (2008): 1398– 1408], but also correct an error in the conclusion for the 3-dimensional simple Lie algebra sl2. In particular, we find an interesting fact that all the Hom-structures on sl2 constitute a 6-dimensional Jordan algebra in the usual way.

The paper is devoted to the study of graded-simple modules and gradings on simple modules over finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. In general, a connection between these two objects is given by the so-called loop construction. We review the main features of this construction as well as necessary and sufficient conditions under which finite-dimensional simple modules can be graded. Over the Lie algebra sl2(C), we consider specific gradings on simple modules of arbitrary dimension.

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.

A well-known Peterson's theorem says that the number of abelian ideals in a Borel subalgebra of a rank-r finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra is exactly 2r. In this paper, we determine the dimensional distribution of abelian ideals in a Borel subalgebra of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras, which is a refinement of Peterson's theorem capturing more Lie algebra invariants.

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.

For any finite-dimensional Euclidean Lie alegebra [Formula: see text], a commuting hierarchy of generalized modified Korteweg-de Vries equations is constructed, together with a nonabelian generalization of the classical Miura map. The classical situation is recovered for the case when [Formula: see text] is abelian one-dimensional. Localization of differential formulae yields a representation of the Virasoro algebra in terms of elements of the current Lie algebra associated to [Formula: see text].
