Hom-Lie superalgebras, which can be considered as a deformation of Lie superalgebras, are $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded generalization of Hom-Lie algebras. In this paper, we prove that there is only the trivial Hom-Lie superalgebra structure over a…

In this paper, an explicit construction of a countable parafree Lie algebra over $\mathbb Z/2$ with nonzero second homology is given. It is also shown that the cohomological dimension of the pronilpotent completion of a free noncyclic…

Let $L$ be a finite dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic $0$. Then by the original Levi theorem, $L = B \oplus R$ where $R$ is the solvable radical and $B$ is some maximal semisimple subalgebra. We prove that if $L$ is an…

Over the past three decades, there have been several attempts to characterize modules over affine Lie superalgebras. One of the main issues in this regard is dealing with zero-level modules. In this paper, we study these modules and…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic not two or three. We classify up to isomorphism all finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{g}_0\oplus \mathfrak{g}_1$ over $k$, where $\mathfrak{g}_0$ is a three-dimensional simple…

We show vanishing of the second $L^p$-cohomology group for most semisimple algebraic groups of rank at least 3 over local fields. More precisely, we show this result for $\SL(4)$, for simple groups of rank $\geq 4$ that are not of…

We provide results on the smoothness of normalisers in connected reductive algebraic groups $G$ over fields $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. Specifically we we give bounds on $p$ which guarantee that normalisers of subalgebras of…

Let $p$ be a prime. Given a split semisimple group scheme $G$ over a normal integral domain $R$ which is a faithfully flat $\mathbb Z_{(p)}$-algebra, we classify all finite dimensional representations $V$ of the fiber $G_K$ of $G$ over…

We introduce almost cohomology groups for Lie rings definable in finite-dimensional theory. In particular, we define the 0th and 1st almost cohomology groups of a Lie ring module. Moreover, we prove that the 1st almost cohomology group of a…

The cohomology groups of Lie superalgebras and, more generally, of color Lie algebras, are introduced and investigated. The main emphasis is on the case where the module of coefficients is non-trivial. Two general propositions are proved,…

All results concern characteristic 2. Two procedures that to every simple Lie algebra assign simple Lie superalgebras, most of the latter new, are offered. We prove that every simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra is obtained as the…

Let $A$ be a unital commutative associative algebra over a field of characteristic zero, $\k$ be a Lie algebra, and $\z$ a vector space, considered as a trivial module of the Lie algebra $\g := A \otimes \k$. In this paper we give a…

This note presents a general theorem about the cohomology of finite dimensional Lie algebras of arbitrary characteristic. As an application we compute the cohomology of the Borel subalgebra of sl(N).

We prove that the group $\mathrm{SAut}_{\mathrm{k}}(\mathbb{A}^2)$ is simple as an algebraic group of infinite dimension, over any infinite field $\mathrm{k}$, by proving that any closed normal subgroup is either trivial or the whole group.…

We compute the cohomology with trivial coefficients of Lie algebras $\mathfrak{m}_0$ and $\mathfrak{m}_2$ of maximal class over the field $\mathbb{Z}_2$. In the infinite-dimensional case, we show that the cohomology rings…

We describe the structure of the algebraic group of automorphisms of all simple finite dimensional Lie superalgebras. Using this and \'etale cohomology considerations, we list all different isomorphism classes of the corresponding twisted…

Masuoka proved (2009) that a finite-dimensional irreducible Hopf algebra $H$ in positive characteristic is semisimple if and only if it is commutative semisimple if and only if the Hopf subalgebra generated by all primitives is semisimple.…

In this paper we describe solvable Leibniz algebras whose quotient algebra by one-dimensional ideal is a Lie algebra with rank equal to the length of the characteristic sequence of its nilpotent radical. We prove that such Leibniz algebra…

We show that a minimal ideal of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra is either simple or abelian.

In this article, we generalize Loday and Pirashvili's [10] computation of the Ext-category of Leibniz bimodules for a simple Lie algebra to the case of a simple (non Lie) Leibniz algebra. Most of the arguments generalize easily, while the…
