Abstract

We consider a Leibniz algebra L=IV{\mathfrak L} = {\mathfrak I} \oplus {\mathfrak V} over an arbitrary base field F\mathbb{F}, being I{\mathfrak I} the ideal generated by the products [x,x],xL[x,x], x \in {\mathfrak L}. This ideal has a fundamental role in the study presented in our paper. A basis \B={vi}iI\B=\{v_i\}_{i \in I} of L{\mathfrak L} is called multiplicative if for any i,jIi,j \in I we have that [vi,vj]Fvk[v_i,v_j] \in {\mathbb F}v_k for some kIk \in I. We associate an adequate graph Γ(L,\B)\Gamma({\mathfrak L},\B) to L{\mathfrak L} relative to \B\B. By arguing on this graph we show that L{\mathfrak L} decomposes as a direct sum of ideals, each one being associated to one connected component of Γ(L,\B)\Gamma({\mathfrak L},\B). Also the minimality of L{\mathfrak L} and the division property of L{\mathfrak L} are characterized in terms of the weak symmetry of the defined subgraphs Γ(L,\BI)\Gamma({\mathfrak L},\B_{\mathfrak I}) and Γ(L,\BV)\Gamma({\mathfrak L},\B_{\mathfrak V}).
