Fractal just infinite nil Lie superalgebra of finite width
Abstract
The Grigorchuk and Gupta-Sidki groups play fundamental role in modern group theory. Their natural analogues are self-similar nil Lie -algebras. In characteristic zero, similar examples of Lie algebras do not exist (Martinez and Zelmanov). The second author recently constructed a 3-generated self-similar nil finely graded Lie superalgebra, which showed that an extension of Martinez-Zelmanov's result for Lie superalgebras of characteristic zero is not valid. Now, we suggest a more handy example. We construct a 2-generated self-similar Lie superalgebra over arbitrary field. It has a clear monomial basis, unlike many examples studied before, we find a clear monomial basis of its associative hull , the latter has a quadratic growth. The algebras and are -graded by multidegree in generators, positions of their -components are bounded by pairs of logarithmic curves on plane. The -components of are at most one-dimensional, thus, the -grading of is fine. As an analogue of periodicity, we establish that homogeneous elements of the grading are -nilpotent. In case of -graded algebras, a close analogue to being simple is being just-infinite. We prove that is just infinite, but not hereditary just infinite. Our example is close to a smallest possible example, because has a linear growth with a growth function , . Moreover, its degree -gradation is of width 4 (). In case , we obtain a Lie algebra of width 2 that is not thin. Our example also shows that an extension of the result of Martinez and Zelmanov for Lie superalgebras of characteristic zero is not valid.
