Abstract

We prove {\rm (i)} Nichols algebra B(V)\mathfrak B(V) of vector space VV is finite-dimensional if and only if Nichols braided Lie algebra L(V)\mathfrak L(V) is finite-dimensional; {\rm (ii)} If the rank of connected VV is 22 and B(V)\mathfrak B(V) is an arithmetic root system, then B(V)=FL(V);\mathfrak B(V) = F \oplus \mathfrak L(V); and {\rm (iii)} if Δ(B(V))\Delta (\mathfrak B(V)) is an arithmetic root system and there does not exist any mm-infinity element with puu1p_{uu} \not= 1 for any uD(V)u \in D(V), then dim(B(V))=\dim (\mathfrak B(V) ) = \infty if and only if there exists VV', which is twisting equivalent to VV, such that dim(L(V))=. \dim (\mathfrak L^ - (V')) = \infty. Furthermore we give an estimation of dimensions of Nichols Lie algebras and two examples of Lie algebras which do not have maximal solvable ideals.
