Almost inner derivations of Lie algebras II

Rings and Algebras 2019-05-21 v1

Abstract

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 nn-dimensional characteristically nilpotent filiform Lie algebras fn\mathfrak{f}_n, for all n13n\ge 13, all of whose derivations are almost inner. Finally we compare the almost inner derivations of Lie algebras considered over two different fields KkK\supseteq k for a finite-dimensional field extension.
