Defining Relation

Let L be a finitely generated free Lie algebra. We construct an example of two elements u and v of L such that the factor algebras L/(u) and L/(v) are isomorphic, where (u) and (v) are ideals of L generated by u and v, respectively, but there is no automorphism φ of L such that φ(u)=v.

AbstractIn group theory Schreier's technique provides a basis for a subgroup of a free group. In this paper an analogue is developed for free Lie algebras. It hinges on the idea of cutting a Hall set into two parts. Using it, we show that proper subalgebras of finite codimension are not finitely generated and, following M. Hall, that a finitely generated subalgebra is a free factor of a subalgebra of finite codimension.

Equivalent Class

Let R be a principal and integral domain. We say that two differential graded free Lie algebras over R (free dgl for short) are weakly equivalent if and only if the homologies of their corresponding enveloping universal algebras are isomophic. This paper is devoted to the problem of how we can characterize the weakly equivalent class of a free dgl. Our tool to address this question is the Whitehead exact sequence. We show, under a certain condition, that two R-free dgls are weakly equivalent if and only if their Whitehead sequences are isomorphic.

Derivation Formula

Let [Formula: see text] be the polynomial algebra in [Formula: see text] variables over a field [Formula: see text] of characteristic 0. The classical theorem of Weitzenböck from 1932 states that for linear locally nilpotent derivations [Formula: see text] (known as Weitzenböck derivations), the algebra of constants [Formula: see text] is finitely generated. When the Weitzenböck derivation [Formula: see text] acts on the polynomial algebra [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] variables by [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], Nowicki conjectured that [Formula: see text] is generated by [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. There are several proofs based on different ideas confirming this conjecture. Considering arbitrary Weitzenböck derivations of the free [Formula: see text]-generated metabelian Lie algebra [Formula: see text], with few trivial exceptions, the algebra [Formula: see text] is not finitely generated. However, the vector subspace [Formula: see text] of the commutator ideal [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is finitely generated as a [Formula: see text]-module. In this paper, we study an analogue of the Nowicki conjecture in the Lie algebra setting and give an explicit set of generators of the [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text].

Algebra Over A Field

Abstract Let $K$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with identity, let $A$ be a $K$-algebra and let $B$ be a subalgebra of $A$ such that $A/B$ is finitely generated as a $K$-module. The main result of the paper is that $A$ is finitely presented (resp. finitely generated) if and only if $B$ is finitely presented (resp. finitely generated). As corollaries, we obtain: a subring of finite index in a finitely presented ring is finitely presented; a subalgebra of finite co-dimension in a finitely presented algebra over a field is finitely presented (already shown by Voden in 2009). We also discuss the role of the Noetherian assumption on $K$ and show that for finite generation it can be replaced by a weaker condition that the module $A/B$ be finitely presented. Finally, we demonstrate that the results do not readily extend to non-associative algebras, by exhibiting an ideal of co-dimension $1$ of the free Lie algebra of rank 2 which is not finitely generated as a Lie algebra.

Bilinear Equation

We investigate equations of the form [x,u] + [y,v] = 0 over a free Lie algebra L. In the case where u and v are free generators of L, we exhibit two series of solutions, we work out the dimensions of the homogeneous components of the solution space, and we determine its radical. In the general case we show that the results on free generator coefficients are sufficient to obtain the solution space up to finite codimension. As an application we determine the radical of the bilinear equation [x1,x2] + [x3,x4] = 0.

Algebra Over A Field

A theorem independently due to A.I. Shirshov and E. Witt asserts that every subalgebra of a free Lie algebra (over a field) is free. The main step in Shirshov's proof is a little known but rather remarkable result: if a set of homogeneous elements in a free Lie algebra has the property that no element of it is contained in the subalgebra generated by the other elements, then this subset is a free generating set for the subalgebra it generates. Witt also proved that every subalgebra of a free restricted Lie algebra is free. Later G.P. Kukin gave a proof of this theorem in which he adapted Shirshov's argument. The main step is similar, but it has come to light that its proof contains substantial gaps. Here we give a corrected proof of this main step in order to justify its applications elsewhere.

AbstractConditions for the existence and conjugacy of complements of certain minimal ideals of solvable Lie algebras over a Noetherian ring R are considered. Let L be a solvable Lie algebra and A be a minimal ideal of L. If L/A is nilpotent and L is not nilpotent then A has a complement in L, all such complements are conjugate and self-normalizing and if C is a complement then there exists an x∈L such that C = {y∈L; yadnx = 0 for some n = 1, 2,…}. A similar result holds if A is self-centralizing and a finitely generated R-module.

Characteristic 2

Let L be a free Lie algebra of finite rank over a field K and let Ln denote the degree n homogeneous component of L. Formulae for the dimension of the subspaces [Lm, Ln] for all m and n were obtained by the second author and Michael Vaughan-Lee. In this note we consider subspaces of the form [Lm, Ln, Lk] = [[Lm, Ln], Lk]. Surprisingly, in contrast to the case of a product of two homogeneous components, the dimension of such products may depend on the characteristic of the field K. For example, the dimension of [L2, L2, L1] over fields of characteristic 2 is different from the dimension over fields of characteristic other than 2. Our main results are formulae for the dimension of [Lm, Ln, Lk]. Under certain conditions on m, n and k they lead to explicit formulae that do not depend on the characteristic of K, and express the dimension of [Lm, Ln, Lk] in terms of Witt's dimension function.

Transitive Actions

We study a growth of subalgebras for restricted Lie algebras over a finite field 𝔽q. This kind of growth is an analog of the subgroup growth in the group theory. Let L be a finitely generated restricted Lie algebra. Then an(L) is the number of restricted subalgebras H ⊂ L such that dim 𝔽q L/H = n, n ≥ 0. We compute the numbers an(Fd) explicitly and find asymptotics, where Fd is the free restricted Lie algebra of rank d, d ≥ 1. As an important instrument, we use the notion of transitive L-action on coalgebras and algebras.
