Definition Of

The grading is by integers modulo 2 and we refer to it as 2-grading. For the definition of 2-graded Lie algebras L and their properties we refer the reader to the papers [1; 2; 3]. All algebras considered here are finite-dimensional over a field F of characteristic zero.

Representation Orbit

The invariants of finite-dimensional representations of simple Lie algebras, such as even-degree indices and anomaly numbers, are considered in the context of the non-crystallographic finite reflection groups H2, H3 and H4. Using a representation-orbit replacement, the definitions and properties of the indices are formulated for individual orbits of the examined groups. The indices of orders two and four of the tensor product of k orbits are determined. Using the branching rules for the non-crystallographic Coxeter groups, the embedding index is defined similarly to the Dynkin index of a representation. Moreover, since the definition of the indices can be applied to any orbit of non-crystallographic type, the algorithm allowing to search for the orbits of smaller radii contained within any considered one is presented for the Coxeter groups H2 and H3. The geometrical structures of nested polytopes are exemplified.

Generalized Cartan Matrix

Our aim in this paper is to study a certain class of Lie algebras which arose naturally in (4). In (4), we showed that beginning with an indecomposable symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix (A ij) and a field Φ of characteristic zero, we could construct a Lie algebra E((A ij)) over Φ patterned on the finite-dimensional split simple Lie algebras. We were able to show that E((A ij)) is simple providing that (A ij) does not fall in the list given in (4, Table). We did not prove the converse, however.The diagrams of the table of (4) appear in Table 2. Call the matrices that they represent Euclidean matrices and their corresponding algebras Euclidean Lie algebras. Our first objective is to show that Euclidean Lie algebras are not simple.

Finite Dimensional Lie Algebras

Throughout we shall consider only finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero. In [3] it was shown that the classes of solvable and of supersolvable Lie algebras of dimension greater than two are characterised by the structure of their subalgebra lattices. The same is true of the classes of simple and of semisimple Lie algebras of dimension greater than three. However, it is not true of the class of nilpotent Lie algebras. We seek here the smallest class containing all nilpotent Lie algebras which is so characterised.

Given a Lie algebra 𝔤 over a field of characteristic zero k, let μ(𝔤) = min{dim π : π is a faithful representation of 𝔤}. Let 𝔥m be the Heisenberg Lie algebra of dimension 2m + 1 over k and let k [t] be the polynomial algebra in one variable. Given m ∈ ℕ and p ∈ k [t], let 𝔥m, p = 𝔥m ⊗ k [t]/(p) be the current Lie algebra associated to 𝔥m and k [t]/(p), where (p) is the principal ideal in k [t] generated by p. In this paper we prove that [Formula: see text]. We also prove a result that gives information about the structure of a commuting family of operators on a finite dimensional vector space. From it is derived the well-known theorem of Schur on maximal abelian subalgebras of 𝔤𝔩(n, k ).

Algebra Over A Field

A palindrome, in general, is a word in a fixed alphabet which is preserved when taken in reverse order. Let [Formula: see text] be the free metabelian Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero generated by [Formula: see text]. We propose the following definition of palindromes in the setting of Lie algebras: An element [Formula: see text] is called a palindrome if it is preserved under the change of generators; i.e. [Formula: see text]. We give a linear basis and an explicit infinite generating set for the Lie subalgebra of palindromes.

Cartan Matrices

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.

Standing Problem

We show that any contraction is equivalent to a generalized Inönü–Wigner contraction with integer exponents, thus solving a long-standing problem to find a "simple" class of contractions that can produce all possible contractions. These contractions are given by diagonal matrices of the form T (ε)jj = εnj, nj∈ ℤ. They are ideally suited for applications. Indeed, we use this result to show that contractions are inverse to analytic deformations, thus resolving another long-standing problem. To achieve reciprocity between contractions and deformations, we have extended the definition of contractions by dropping the requirement that T (0) = lim ε → 0T (ε) exists. We give an example which proves the necessity of this extended definition.

SynopsisA subalgebra M of a Lie algebra L is called modular in L if M is a modular element in the lattice of the subalgebras of L. Our aim is to study the finite-dimensional Lie algebras all of whose maximal subalgebras are modular. We characterize these algebras over any field of characteristic zero.

We continue the algebraic study of almost inner derivations of Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero and determine these derivations for free nilpotent Lie algebras, for almost abelian Lie algebras, for Lie algebras whose solvable radical is abelian and for several classes of filiform nilpotent Lie algebras. We find a family of [Formula: see text]-dimensional characteristically nilpotent filiform Lie algebras [Formula: see text], for all [Formula: see text], all of whose derivations are almost inner. Finally, we compare the almost inner derivations of Lie algebras considered over two different fields [Formula: see text] for a finite-dimensional field extension.

Finite Dimensional Lie Algebras

We study gradings by non-commutative groups on finite dimensional Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. It is shown that if L is graded by a non-abelian finite group G, then the solvable radical R of L is G-graded and there exists a Levi subalgebra B=H1⊕ ⋯ ⊕ Hm homogeneous in G-grading with graded simple summands H1,…,Hm. All Supp Hi (i=1,…,m) are commutative subsets of G.
