Infinite Dimensional Lie Algebra

In the present paper, we study 2-local derivations of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that all 2-local derivations of the Witt algebra as well as of the positive Witt algebra and the classical one-sided Witt algebra are (global) derivations. We also give an example of an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra with a 2-local derivation which is not a derivation.

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.

This paper is devoted to study 2-local derivations on [Formula: see text]-algebra [Formula: see text] which is an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra with some outer derivations. We prove that all 2-local derivations on the [Formula: see text]-algebra [Formula: see text] are derivations. We also give a complete classification of the 2-local derivation on the so-called thin Lie algebra and prove that it admits many 2-local derivations which are not derivations.

Let L be a possibly infinite-dimensional Lie algebra of maximal class. We show that if L admits the structure of a Lie p-algebra then the dimension of L can be at most p + 1. Furthermore, this bound is best possible.

Finite Dimensional Lie Algebras

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.

Infinite Dimensional Lie Algebra

We exhibit a new infinite-dimensional Lie algebra involving operators Ln with indices n ∈ ℤN and depending on a vector of structure constants, v. Two different types of central extensions are also presented. By constructing an explicit representation, we show that this algebra has a natural mathematical basis in terms of the algebra of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms of (S1)N. For N ≥ 2, the space of states is shown to have properties very different from those of the N = 1 (Virasoro) case. Supersymmetric generalizations are also given.

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.

In a long sequence of notes in the Comptes Rendus and elsewhere, and in the papers [1], [2], [3], [6], [7], Lichnerowicz and his collaborators have studied the ‘classical infinite-dimensional Lie algebras’, their derivations, automorphisms, co-homology, and other properties. The most familiar of these algebras is the Lie algebra of C∞ vector fields on a C∞ manifold. Another is the Lie algebra of ‘Poisson brackets’, that is, of C∞ functions on a C∞ symplectic manifold, with the Poisson bracket as composition; some questions concerning this algebra are of considerable interest in the theory of quantization – see, for instance, [2] and [3].
