In this paper, we will determine the Lie algebra of derivations of rings which are generalizations of the enveloping algebras of Heisenberg Lie algebras. First, we will determine which derivations are X-inner and also determine which elements in the Martindale quotient ring induce X-inner derivations. Then, we will show that the Lie algebra of derivations is the direct sum of the ideal of X-inner derivations and a subalgebra which is isomorphic to a subalgebra of finite codimension in a Cartan type Lie algebra.

This paper considers the properties of the representation of a Lie algebra when restricted to an ideal, the subduced* representation of the ideal. This point of view leads to new forms for irreducible representations of Lie algebras, once the concept of matrices of invariance is developed. This concept permits us to show that irreducible representations of a Lie algebra, over an algebraically closed field, can be expressed as a Lie-Kronecker product whose factors are associated with the representation subduced on an ideal. Conversely, if one has such factors, it is shown that they can be put together to give an irreducible representation of the Lie algebra. A valuable guide to this work was supplied by a paper of Clifford (1).

Certain important results concerning p-envelopes of modular Lie algebras are generalized to the super-case. In particular, any p-envelope of the Lie algebra of a Lie superalgebra can be naturally extended to a restricted envelope of the Lie superalgebra. As an application, a theorem on the representations of Lie superalgebras is given, which is a super-version of Iwasawa's theorem in Lie algebra case. As an example, the minimal restricted envelopes are computed for three series of modular Lie superalgebras of Cartan type.

This paper presents new generators for the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the symplectic Lie algebra. These generators are expressed in terms of the column-permanent and it is easy to calculate their eigenvalues on irreducible representations. We can regard these generators as the counterpart of central elements of the universal enveloping algebra of the orthogonal Lie algebra given in terms of the column-determinant by Wachi. The earliest prototype of all these central elements is the Capelli determinants in the universal enveloping algebra of the general linear Lie algebra.

We introduce the class of split Lie algebras of order 3 as the natural generalization of split Lie superalgebras and split Lie algebras. By means of connections of roots, we show that such a split Lie algebra of order 3 is of the form [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] a linear subspace of [Formula: see text] and any [Formula: see text] a well-described (split) ideal of [Formula: see text] satisfying [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text]. Additionally, under certain conditions, the (split) simplicity of the algebra is characterized in terms of the connections of nonzero roots, and a second Wedderburn type theorem for the class of split Lie algebras of order 3 (asserting that [Formula: see text] is the direct sum of the family of its (split) simple ideals) is stated.

A quadratic Lie algebra is a Lie algebra endowed with a symmetric, invariant and nondegenerate bilinear form; such a bilinear form is called an invariant metric. The aim of this work is to describe the general structure of those central extensions of quadratic Lie algebras which in turn have invariant metrics. The structure is such that the central extensions can be described algebraically in terms of the original quadratic Lie algebra, and geometrically in terms of the direct sum decompositions that the invariant metrics involved give rise to.

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.

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.

Multistring vertices and the overlap identities which they satisfy are exploited to understand properties of hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras, in particular E10. Since any such algebra can be embedded in the larger Lie algebra of physical states of an associated completely compactified subcritical bosonic string, one can in principle determine the root spaces by analyzing which (positive norm) physical states decouple from the N-string vertex. Consequently, the Lie algebra of physical states decomposes into a direct sum of the hyperbolic algebra and the space of decoupled states. Both these spaces contain transversal and longitudinal states. Longitudinal decoupling holds more generally, and may also be valid for uncompactified strings, with possible consequences for Liouville theory; the identification of the decoupled states simply amounts to finding the zeroes of certain “decoupling polynomials.” This is not the case for transversal decoupling, which crucially depends on special properties of the root lattice, as we explicitly demonstrate for a nontrivial root space of E10· Because the N-vertices of the compactified string contain the complete information about decoupling, all the properties of the hyperbolic algebra are encoded into them. In view of the integer grading of hyperbolic algebras such as E10 by the level, these algebras can be interpreted as interacting strings moving on the respective group manifolds associated with the underlying finite-dimensional Lie algebras.

AbstractWe investigate a class of Lie algebras which we call generalized reductive Lie algebras. These are generalizations of semi-simple, reductive, and affine Kac–Moody Lie algebras. A generalized reductive Lie algebra which has an irreducible root system is said to be irreducible and we note that this class of algebras has been under intensive investigation in recent years. They have also been called extended affine Lie algebras. The larger class of generalized reductive Lie algebras has not been so intensively investigated. We study themin this paper and note that one way they arise is as fixed point subalgebras of finite order automorphisms. We show that the core modulo the center of a generalized reductive Lie algebra is a direct sum of centerless Lie tori. Therefore one can use the results known about the classification of centerless Lie tori to classify the cores modulo centers of generalized reductive Lie algebras.
