Abstract

Let \Lm\L_m be the scheme of the laws defined by the Jacobi's identities on \Km\K^m with \K\K a field. A deformation of \g\Lm\g\in\L_m, parametrized by a local \K\K-algebra \A\A, is a local \K\K-algebra morphism from the local ring of \Lm\L_m at ϕm\phi_m to \A\A. The problem to classify all the deformation equivalence classes of a Lie algebra with given base is solved by "versal" deformations. First, we give an algorithm for computing versal deformations. Second, we prove there is a bijection between the deformation equivalence classes of an algebraic Lie algebra ϕm=Rϕn\phi_m=\mathrm{R}\ltimes\phi_n in \Lm\L_m and its nilpotent radical ϕn\phi_n in the R\mathrm{R}-invariant scheme \LnR\L_n^{\mathrm{R}} with reductive part R\mathrm{R}, under some conditions. So the versal deformations of ϕm\phi_m in \Lm\L_m is deduced to those of ϕn\phi_n in \LnR\L_n^{\mathrm{R}}, which is a more simple problem. Third, we study versality in central extensions of Lie algebras. Finally, we calculate versal deformations of some Lie algebras.
