Nottingham algebras are a class of just-infinite-dimensional, modular, [Formula: see text]-graded Lie algebras, which includes the graded Lie algebra associated to the Nottingham group with respect to its lower central series. Homogeneous components of a Nottingham algebra have dimension one or two, and in the latter case they are called diamonds. The first diamond occurs in degree [Formula: see text], and the second occurs in degree [Formula: see text], a power of the characteristic. Many examples of Nottingham algebras are known, in which each diamond past the first can be assigned a type, either belonging to the underlying field or equal to [Formula: see text]. A prospective classification of Nottingham algebras requires describing all possible diamond patterns. In this paper, we establish some crucial contributions towards that goal. One is showing that all diamonds, past the first, of an arbitrary Nottingham algebra [Formula: see text] can be assigned a type, in such a way that the degrees and types of the diamonds completely describe [Formula: see text]. At the same time we prove that the difference in degrees of any two consecutive diamonds in any Nottingham algebra equals [Formula: see text]. As a side-product of our investigation, we classify the Nottingham algebras where all diamonds have type [Formula: see text].

Graded Lie Algebra

AbstractWe investigate a class of infinite-dimensional, modular, graded Lie algebra in which the homogeneous components have dimension at most two. A subclass of these algebras can be obtained via a twisted loop algebra construction from certain finite-dimensional, simple Lie algebras of Albert-Frank type.Another subclass of these algebras is strictly related to certain graded Lie algebras of maximal class, and exhibits a wide range of behaviours.

Modular Lie Algebras

Abstract A thin Lie algebra is a Lie algebra $L$ , graded over the positive integers, with its first homogeneous component $L_1$ of dimension two and generating $L$ , and such that each non-zero ideal of $L$ lies between consecutive terms of its lower central series. All homogeneous components of a thin Lie algebra have dimension one or two, and the two-dimensional components are called diamonds. Suppose the second diamond of $L$ (that is, the next diamond past $L_1$ ) occurs in degree $k$ . We prove that if $k>5$ , then $[Lyy]=0$ for some non-zero element $y$ of $L_1$ . In characteristic different from two this means $y$ is a sandwich element of $L$ . We discuss the relevance of this fact in connection with an important theorem of Premet on sandwich elements in modular Lie algebras.

Introduction. The natural problem of determining all the Lie algebras of finite dimension was broken in two parts by Levi's theorem:1) the classification of semi-simple Lie algebras (achieved by Killing and Cartan around 1890)2) the classification of solvable Lie algebras (reduced to the classification of nilpotent Lie algebras by Malcev in 1945 (see [10])).The Killing form is identically equal to zero for a nilpotent Lie algebra but it is non-degenerate for a semi-simple Lie algebra. Therefore there was a huge gap between those two extreme cases. But this gap is only illusory because, as we will prove in this work, a large class of nilpotent Lie algebras is closely related to the Kac-Moody Lie algebras. These last algebras could be viewed as infinite dimensional version of the semisimple Lie algebras.

Let A be the elementary group of order 2n and L an A-graded Lie algebra with L0 = 0. Assume that L is soluble with derived length k. It is proved that L has a series of ideals of length n all of whose quotients are nilpotent of {k, n}-bounded class.

We prove that, for any positive integer [Formula: see text], the quotient group [Formula: see text] of the lower central series of the McCool group [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to two copies of the quotient group [Formula: see text] of the lower central series of a free group [Formula: see text] of rank [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text]-modules. Furthermore, we give a necessary and sufficient condition whether the associated graded Lie algebra [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is naturally embedded into the Johnson Lie algebra [Formula: see text] of the IA-automorphisms of [Formula: see text].

Finite Simplicial Complex

AbstractIn a previous work, we associated a complete diòerential graded Lie algebra to any finite simplicial complex in a functorial way. Similarly, we also have a realization functor fromthe category of complete diòerential graded Lie algebras to the category of simplicial sets. We have already interpreted the homology of a Lie algebra in terms of homotopy groups of its realization. In this paper, we begin a dictionary between models and simplicial complexes by establishing a correspondence between the Deligne groupoid of the model and the connected components of the finite simplicial complex.

For a positive integer [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be a free group of rank [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be the subgroup of the automorphism group of [Formula: see text] consisting of all automorphisms which induce the identity on the abelianization of [Formula: see text]. We write [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for the upper McCool group and the partial inner automorphism group, respectively. We show that [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to the quotient of [Formula: see text] by its center and we prove similar results for their associated graded Lie algebras and their Andreadakis–Johnson Lie algebras. Furthermore, we give a presentation of the associated graded Lie algebra over the integers of [Formula: see text] and we prove that it admits a natural embedding into the Andreadakis–Johnson Lie algebra of [Formula: see text]. Although the latter results are known, we present proofs based on different methods.

Area Preserving

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]).
