In this short note, we study the rank of a restricted Lie algebra (𝔤, [p]), and give some applications which concern the dimensions of non-trivial irreducible modules. We also compute the rank of the restricted contact algebra.

AbstractWe introduce and investigate a functorial construction which associates coherent sheaves to finite dimensional (restricted) representations of a restricted Lie algebra

AbstractLetL=H(2r;n) be a graded Lie algebra of Hamiltonian type in the Cartan type series over an algebraically closed field of characteristicp>2. In the generalized restricted Lie algebra setup, any irreducible representation ofLcorresponds uniquely to a (generalized)p-characterχ. When the height ofχis no more than min {pni−pni−1∣i=1,2,…,2r}−2, the corresponding irreducible representations are proved to be induced from irreducible representations of the distinguished maximal subalgebraL0with the aid of an analogy of Skryabin’s category ℭ for the generalized Jacobson–Witt algebras and modulo finitely many exceptional cases. Since the exceptional simple modules have been classified, we can then give a full description of the irreducible representations withp-characters of height below this number.

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.

The maximal finite abelian subgroups, up to conjugation, of the simple algebraic group of type E8 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 are computed. This is equivalent to the determination of the fine gradings on the simple Lie algebra of type E8 with trivial neutral homogeneous component. The Brauer invariant of the irreducible modules for graded semisimple Lie algebras plays a key role.

Let L be a free restricted Lie algebra and R a restricted ideal of L. Denote by u(L) the restricted enveloping algebra of L and by ω(L) the associative ideal of u(L) generated by L. The purpose of this paper is to identify the subalgebra R ∩ ωn(L)ω(R) in terms of R only. This problem is the analogue of the Fox problem for free groups.
