Let 𝔤 be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic 0, with solvable radical 𝔯 and nilpotent radical 𝔫 = [𝔤, 𝔯]. Given a finite-dimensional 𝔤-module U, its nilpotency series 0 ⊂ U(1) ⊂ ⋯ ⊂ U(m) = U is defined so that U(1) is the 0-weight space of 𝔫 in U, U(2)/U(1) is the 0-weight space of 𝔫 in U/U(1), and so on. We say that U is linked if each factor of its nilpotency series is a uniserial 𝔤/𝔫-module, i.e. its 𝔤/𝔫-submodules form a chain. Every uniserial 𝔤-module is linked, every linked 𝔤-module is indecomposable with irreducible socle, and both converses fail. In this paper, we classify all linked 𝔤-modules when 𝔤 = 〈x〉 ⋉ 𝔞 and ad x acts diagonalizably on the abelian Lie algebra 𝔞. Moreover, we identify and classify all uniserial 𝔤-modules amongst them.

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

We prove that one of the conditions in Zaicev's formula for the PI-exponent and in its natural generalization for the Hopf PI-exponent, can be weakened. Using the modification of the formula, we prove that if a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra acts by derivations on a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic 0, then the differential PI-exponent coincides with the ordinary one. Analogously, the exponent of polynomial G-identities of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra with a rational action of a connected reductive affine algebraic group G by automorphisms, coincides with the ordinary PI-exponent. In addition, we provide a simple formula for the Hopf PI-exponent and prove the existence of the Hopf PI-exponent itself for H-module Lie algebras whose solvable radical is nilpotent, assuming only the H-invariance of the radical, i.e. under weaker assumptions on the H-action, than in the general case. As a consequence, we show that the analog of Amitsur's conjecture holds for G-codimensions of all finite-dimensional Lie G-algebras whose solvable radical is nilpotent, for an arbitrary group G.

We study the representation theory of finite-dimensional [Formula: see text]-Lie algebras over the complex field. We derive an [Formula: see text]-Lie version of the classical Lie’s theorem, i.e., any finite-dimensional irreducible module of a soluble [Formula: see text]-Lie algebra is 1-dimensional (1D). We also prove that indecomposable modules of some 3D [Formula: see text]-Lie algebras could be parametrized by the complex field and nilpotent matrices. We introduce the notion of a tailed derivation of a nonassociative algebra [Formula: see text] and prove that if [Formula: see text] is a Lie algebra, then there exists a one-to-one correspondence between tailed derivations of [Formula: see text] and 1D [Formula: see text]-extensions of [Formula: see text].

Abstract All results concern characteristic 2. We describe two procedures; each of which to every simple Lie algebra assigns a simple Lie superalgebra. We prove that every simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra is obtained as the result of one of these procedures. For Lie algebras, in addition to the known “classical” restrictedness, we introduce a (2,4)-structure on the two non-alternating series: orthogonal and Hamiltonian vector fields. For Lie superalgebras, the classical restrictedness of Lie algebras has two analogs: a $2|4$-structure, which is a direct analog of the classical restrictedness, and a novel $2|2$-structure—one more analog, a $(2,4)|4$-structure on Lie superalgebras is the analog of (2,4)-structure on Lie algebras known only for non-alternating orthogonal and Hamiltonian series.

Let H be a finite or infinite dimensional Lie algebra. Barnes [2] and Towers [5] considered the case when H is a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over an arbitrary field, and all maximal subalgebras of H have codimension 1. Barnes, using the cohomology theory of Lie algebras, investigated solvable algebras, and Towers extended Barnes's results to include all Lie algebras. In [4] complex finite-dimensional Lie algebras were considered for the case when all the maximal subalgebras of H are not necessarily of codimension 1 but whenwhere S(H) is the set of all Lie subalgebras in H of codimension 1. Amayo [1]investigated the finite-dimensional Lie algebras with core-free subalgebras of codimension 1 and also obtained some interesting results about the structure of infinite dimensional Lie algebras with subalgebras of codimension 1.

Let denote the class of finite-dimensional Lie algebras L (over a fixed, but arbitrary, field F) all of whose maximal subalgebras have codimension 1 in L. In (2) Barnes proved that the solvable algebras in are precisely the supersolvable ones. The purpose of this paper is to extend this result and to give a characterisation of all of the algebras in . Throughout we shall place no restrictions on the underlying field of the Lie algebra.

If 𝔫 is a [Formula: see text]-graded nilpotent finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero, a well-known result of Deninger and Singhof states that dim H*(𝔫) ≥ L(p) where p is the polynomial associated to the grading and L(p) is the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients of p. From this result they derived the Toral Rank Conjecture (TRC) for 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras. An algebraic version of the TRC states that dim H*(𝔫) ≥ 2 dim (ℨ) for any finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra 𝔫 with center ℨ. The TRC is more than 25 years old and remains open even for [Formula: see text]-graded 3-step nilpotent Lie algebras. Investigating to what extent the bound given by Deninger and Singhof could help to prove the TRC in this case, we considered the following two questions regarding a nilpotent Lie algebra 𝔫 with center ℨ: (A) If 𝔫 admits a [Formula: see text]-grading [Formula: see text], such that its associated polynomial p satisfies L(p) > 2 dim ℨ, does 𝔫 admit a ℤ+-grading [Formula: see text] such that its associated polynomial p′ satisfies L(p′) > 2 dim ℨ? (B) If 𝔫 is r-step nilpotent admitting a grading 𝔫 = 𝔫1 ⊕ 𝔫2 ⊕ ⋯ ⊕ 𝔫k such that its associated polynomial p satisfies L(p) > 2 dim ℨ, does 𝔫 admit a grading [Formula: see text] such that its associated polynomial p′ satisfies L(p′) > 2 dim ℨ? In this paper we show that the answer to (A) is yes, but the answer to (B) is no.

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]).

Let L denote a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic zero. It is well known that every finite-dimension 1, irreducible representation of L admits a weight space decomposition; moreover every irreducible representation of L having at least one weight space admits a weight space decomposition.
