Abstract

Let LL be a finite dimensional Lie FF-algebra endowed with a generalized action by an associative algebra HH. We investigate the exponential growth rate of the sequence of HH-graded codimensions cnH(L)c_n^H(L) of LL which is a measure for the number of non-polynomial HH-identities of LL. More precisely, we construct the first example of an SS-graded Lie algebra having a non-integer, even irrational, exponential growth rate limncnS(L)n\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \sqrt[n]{c_n^{S}(L)}. Hereby SS is a semigroup and an exact value is given. On the other hand, returning to general HH, if LL is semisimple and also semisimple for the HH-action we prove the analog of Amitsur's conjecture (i.e. limncnH(L)nZ\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \sqrt[n]{c_n^{H}(L)} \in \mathbb{Z}). Moreover if H=FSH=FS is a semigroup algebra the semisimplicity on LL can be dropped which is in strong contract to the associative setting.
