A note on the Schur multiplier of a nilpotent Lie algebra

Rings and Algebras 2021-05-24 v4

Abstract

For a nilpotent Lie algebra LL of dimension nn and dim(L2)=m(L^2)=m, we find the upper bound dim(M(L))1/2(n+m2)(nm1)+1(M(L))\leq {1/2}(n+m-2)(n-m-1)+1, where M(L)M(L) denotes the Schur multiplier of LL. In case m=1m=1 the equality holds if and only if LH(1)AL\cong H(1)\oplus A, where AA is an abelian Lie algebra of dimension n3n-3 and H(1) is the Heisenberg algebra of dimension 3.
