We extend results on finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras to Leibniz algebras and counterexamples to others are found. One generator algebras are used in these examples and are investigated further.

In this paper we show that the method for describing solvable Lie algebras with given nilradical by means of non-nilpotent outer derivations of the nilradical is also applicable to the case of Leibniz algebras. Using this method we extend…

We provide an explicit algorithm to calculate invariant tensors for the adjoint representation of the simple Lie algebra $sl(n)$, as well as arbitrary representation in terms of roots. We also obtain explicit formulae for the adjoint…

We present a construction of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras using labeled directed simple graphs, which allows us to give a criterion to detect certain ideals and subalgebras by finding special subgraphs. We prove that if a label occurs only…

In recent years, the notion of characteristic polynomial of representations of Lie algebras has been widely studied. This paper provides more properties of these characteristic polynomials. For simple Lie algebras, we characterize the…

In this paper we consider the problem of classifying the $(n-5)$-filiform Lie algebras. This is the first index for which infinite parametrized families appear, as can be seen in dimension $7.$ Moreover we obtain large families of…

We introduce a notion of planar algebra, the simplest example of which is a vector space of tensors, closed under planar contractions. A planar algebra with suitable positivity properties produces a finite index subfactor of a II_1 factor,…

We present a method for associating labeled directed graphs to finite-dimensional Lie algebras, thereby enabling rapid identification of key structural algebraic features. To formalize this approach, we introduce the concept of…

We define a solvable extension of the graph 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras of [5] by adding elements corresponding to the 3-cliques of the graph. We study some of their basic properties and we prove that two such Lie algebras are isomorphic…

We present a local and constructive differential geometric description of finite-dimensional solvable and transitive Lie algebras of vector fields. We show that it implies a Lie's conjecture for such Lie algebras. Also infinite-dimensional…

Every Lie algebra over a field $E$ gives rise to new Lie algebras over any subfield $F \subseteq E$ by restricting the scalar multiplication. This paper studies the structure of these underlying Lie algebra in relation to the structure of…

We develop a graphical notation to introduce classical Lie algebras. Although this paper deals with well-known results, our pictorial point of view is slightly different to the traditional one. Our graphical notation is fairly elementary…

Uniform Lie algebras are combinatorially defined two-step nilpotent Lie algebras which can be used to define Einstein solvmanifolds. These Einstein spaces often have nontrivial isotropy groups. We derive basic properties of uniform Lie…

An algorithm for embedding finite dimensional Lie algebras into Lie algebras of vector fields (and Lie superalgebras into Lie superalgebras of vector fields) is offered in a way applicable over ground fields of any characteristic. The…

Let L be a restricted Lie algebra over a field of characteristic p > 2 and denote by u(L) its restricted enveloping algebra. We determine the conditions under which the set of symmetric elements of u(L) with respect to the principal…

This thesis was concerned with classifying the real indecomposable solvable Lie algebras with codimension one nilradicals of dimensions two through seven. This thesis was organized into three chapters. In the first, we described the…

Jacobson proved that if a Lie algebra admits an invertible derivation, it must be nilpotent. He also suspected, though incorrectly, that the converse might be true: that every nilpotent Lie algebra has an invertible derivation. We prove…

The concept of breadth has been used in the classification of p-groups and nilpotent Lie algebras. In this paper, we investigate this notion for finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebras. Our main focus is to characterize solvable Lie…

We present a general method for describing the annihilators of modules of Lie algebras under certain conditions, which hold for some tensor modules of vector field Lie algebras. As an example, we apply the method to obtain an efficient…

We give a classification of the principal and distinguished nilpotent pairs in all classical Lie algebras. As a classification of the principal pairs in the exceptional simple Lie algebras was obtained earlier (see Appendix to Ginzburg's…
