Let L be a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra, Lℤ be the ℤ-span of a Chevalley basis of L and LR = R⊗ℤLℤ be a Chevalley algebra of type L over a commutative ring R. Let [Formula: see text] be the nilpotent subalgebra of LR spanned by the root vectors associated with positive roots. The aim of this paper is to determine the automorphism group of [Formula: see text].

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

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite commutative ring with identity. In this paper, we give a necessary condition for the existence of an orthogonal decomposition of the special linear Lie algebra over [Formula: see text]. Additionally, we study orthogonal decompositions of the symplectic Lie algebra and the special orthogonal Lie algebra over [Formula: see text].

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.

In [6] we have constructed certain normal subgroups G7 of the elementary subgroup GR of the Chevalley group G(L, R) over R corresponding to a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra L over the complex field, where R is a commutative ring with identity. The method employed was to augment somewhat the generators of the elementary subgroup EI of G corresponding to an ideal I of the underlying Chevalley algebra LR;EI is thus the group generated by all xr(t) in G having the property that ter ⊂ I. In [6, § 5] we noted that in general EI actually had to be enlarged for a normal subgroup of GR to be obtained.

Given a maximal subalgebra M of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra L, a θ-pair for M is a pair (A, B) of subalgebras such that A ≰ M, B is an ideal of L contained in A ∩ M, and A/B includes properly no nonzero ideal of L/B. This is analogous to the concept of θ-pairs associated to maximal subgroups of a finite group, which has been studied by a number of authors. A θ-pair (A, B) for M is said to be maximal if M has no θ-pair (C, D) such that A < C. In this paper, we obtain some properties of maximal θ-pairs and use them to give some characterizations of solvable, supersolvable and nilpotent Lie algebras.

In this paper, we investigate a conjecture of Dixmier [2] on the structure of basic cycles. Our interest in basic cycles arises primarily from the fact that the irreducible modules of a simple Lie algebra L having a weight space decomposition are completely determined by the irreducible modules of the cycle subalgebra of L. The basic cycles form a generating set for the cycle subalgebra.First some notation: F denotes an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, L a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra of rank n over F, H a fixed Cartan subalgebra, U(L) the universal enveloping algebra of L, C(L) the centralizer of H in U(L), Φ the set of nonzero roots in H*, the dual space of H, Δ = {α1, …, αn} a base of Φ, and Φ+ = {β1, …, βm} the positive roots corresponding to Δ.

Dimensional Distribution

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.

Let $\mathbb K$ be a field of characteristic zero, $A$ be an integral domain over $\mathbb K$ with the field of fractions $R=Frac(A),$ and $Der_{\mathbb K}A$ be the Lie algebra of all $\mathbb K$-derivations on $A$. Let $W(A):=RDer_{\mathbb K} A$ and $L$ be a nilpotent subalgebra of rank $n$ over $R$ of the Lie algebra $W(A).$ We prove that if the center $Z=Z(L)$ is of rank $\geq n-2$ over $R$ and $F=F(L)$ is the field of constants for $L$ in $R,$ then the Lie algebra $FL$ is contained in a locally nilpotent subalgebra of $ W(A)$ of rank $n$ over $R$ with a natural basis over the field $R.$ It is also proved that the Lie algebra $FL$ can be isomorphically embedded (as an abstract Lie algebra) into the triangular Lie algebra $u_n(F)$, which was studied early by other authors.

We consider a semidirect product of the sheaf of vector fields on a manifold ℂ* × X with a central extension of the sheaf of Lie algebras of maps from ℂ* × X into a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra, viewed as sheaves on X. Using vertex algebra methods we construct sheaves of modules for this sheaf of Lie algebras. Our results extend the work of Malikov–Schechtman–Vaintrob on the chiral de Rham complex.
