Algebra Over A Field

AbstractLet L be a restricted Lie algebra over a field of characteristic p. Denote by u(L) its restricted enveloping algebra and by ωu(L) the augmentation ideal of u(L). We give an explicit description for the dimension subalgebras of L, namely those ideals of L defined by Dn(L) - L∩ωu(L)n for each n ≥ 1. Using this expression we describe the nilpotence index of ωU(L). We also give a precise characterisation of those L for which ωu(L) is a residually nilpotent ideal. In this case we show that the minimal number of elements required to generate an arbitrary ideal of u(L) is finitely bounded if and only if L contains a 1-generated restricted subalgebra of finite codimension. Subsequently we examine certain analogous aspects of the Lie structure of u(L). In particular we characterise L for which u(L) is residually nilpotent when considered as a Lie algebra, and give a formula for the Lie nilpotence index of u(L). This formula is then used to describe the nilpotence class of the group of units of u(L).

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.

Algebra Over A Field

A theorem independently due to A.I. Shirshov and E. Witt asserts that every subalgebra of a free Lie algebra (over a field) is free. The main step in Shirshov's proof is a little known but rather remarkable result: if a set of homogeneous elements in a free Lie algebra has the property that no element of it is contained in the subalgebra generated by the other elements, then this subset is a free generating set for the subalgebra it generates. Witt also proved that every subalgebra of a free restricted Lie algebra is free. Later G.P. Kukin gave a proof of this theorem in which he adapted Shirshov's argument. The main step is similar, but it has come to light that its proof contains substantial gaps. Here we give a corrected proof of this main step in order to justify its applications elsewhere.

AbstractLet L be a Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero. We study the uni versai left-symmetric enveloping algebra U(L) introduced Dan Segal in [9]. We prove some uniqueness results for these algebras and determine their automorphism groups, both as left-symmetric algebras and as Lie algebras.

Transitive Actions

We study a growth of subalgebras for restricted Lie algebras over a finite field 𝔽q. This kind of growth is an analog of the subgroup growth in the group theory. Let L be a finitely generated restricted Lie algebra. Then an(L) is the number of restricted subalgebras H ⊂ L such that dim 𝔽q L/H = n, n ≥ 0. We compute the numbers an(Fd) explicitly and find asymptotics, where Fd is the free restricted Lie algebra of rank d, d ≥ 1. As an important instrument, we use the notion of transitive L-action on coalgebras and algebras.

Abstract Let ℒ be an n-dimensional restricted Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p > 0. Given a linear function ξ on ℒ and a scalar λ ∈ K, we introduce an associative algebra Uξ,λ (ℒ) of dimension pn over K. The algebra Uξ,1 (ℒ) is isomorphic to the reduced enveloping algebra Uξ (ℒ), while the algebra Uξ,0 (ℒ) is nothing but the reduced symmetric algebra Sξ (ℒ). Deformation arguments (applied to this family of algebras) enable us to derive a number of results on dimensions of simple ℒ-modules. In particular, we give a new proof of the Kac-Weisfeiler conjecture (see [41], [35]) which uses neither support varieties nor the classification of nilpotent orbits, and compute the maximal dimension of simple ℒ-modules for all ℒ having a toral stabiliser of a linear function.

Minimal Formula

In the late 1980s, Premet conjectured that the nilpotent variety of any finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic [Formula: see text] is irreducible. This conjecture remains open, but it is known to hold for a large class of simple restricted Lie algebras, e.g. for Lie algebras of connected algebraic groups, and for Cartan series [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, with the assumption that [Formula: see text], we confirm this conjecture for the minimal [Formula: see text]-envelope [Formula: see text] of the Zassenhaus algebra [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text].

Product Map

In this note we analyse the analogy between m-potent and p-central restricted Lie algebras and p-groups. For restricted Lie algebras the notion of m-potency has stronger implications than for p-groups (Theorem A). Every finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra  is isomorphic to for some finite-dimensional p-central restricted Lie algebra (Proposition B). In particular, for restricted Lie algebras there does not hold an analogue of J.Buckley's theorem. For p odd one can characterise powerful restricted Lie algebras in terms of the cup product map in the same way as for finite p-groups (Theorem C). Moreover, the p-centrality of the finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra  has a strong implication on the structure of the cohomology ring H•(,) (Theorem D).

AbstractWe construct an explicit set of algebraically independent generators for the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the centralizer of a nilpotent matrix in the general linear Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero. In particular, this gives a new proof of the freeness of the center, a result first proved by Panyushev, Premet and Yakimova.

Theoretic Problem

Let [Formula: see text] be a residually finite dimensional algebra (not necessarily associative) over a field [Formula: see text]. Suppose first that [Formula: see text] is algebraically closed. We show that if [Formula: see text] satisfies a homogeneous almost identity [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] has an ideal of finite codimension satisfying the identity [Formula: see text]. Using well known results of Zelmanov, we conclude that, if a residually finite dimensional Lie algebra [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text] is almost [Formula: see text]-Engel, then [Formula: see text] has a nilpotent (respectively, locally nilpotent) ideal of finite codimension if char [Formula: see text] (respectively, char [Formula: see text]). Next, suppose that [Formula: see text] is finite (so [Formula: see text] is residually finite). We prove that, if [Formula: see text] satisfies a homogeneous probabilistic identity [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is a coset identity of [Formula: see text]. Moreover, if [Formula: see text] is multilinear, then [Formula: see text] is an identity of some finite index ideal of [Formula: see text]. Along the way we show that if [Formula: see text] has degree [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is a finite [Formula: see text]-algebra such that the probability that [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text] are randomly chosen) is at least [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is an identity of [Formula: see text]. This solves a ring-theoretic analogue of a (still open) group-theoretic problem posed by Dixon,
