Let $B$ be a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded Lie superalgebra equipped with an invariant $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric homogeneous bilinear form and containing a grading element. Its local part (in the terminology of Kac) $B_{-1} \oplus B_{0} \oplus B_{1}$…

Let L be the Lie algebra of a simple algebraic group defined over a field F and let H be a split Cartan subalgebra of L. Then L has a Chevalley basis with respect to H. If the characteristic of F is not 2 or 3, it is known how to find it.…

We construct common triangular bases for almost all the known (quantum) cluster algebras from Lie theory. These bases provide analogs of the dual canonical bases, long anticipated in cluster theory. In cases where the generalized Cartan…

Let $L$ be a free Lie algebra over a field $k$, $I$ a non-trivial proper ideal of $L$, $n>1$ an integer. The multiplicator $H_2(L/I^n,k)$ of $L/I^n$ is not finitely generated, and so in particular, $L/I^n$ is not finitely presented, even…

We show that Automorphic Lie Algebras which contain a Cartan subalgebra with a constant spectrum, called hereditary, are completely described by 2-cocycles on a classical root system taking only two different values. This observation…

In this paper we study gradings on simple Lie algebras arising from nilpotent elements. Specifically, we investigate abelian subalgebras which are degree 1 homogeneous with respect to these gradings. We show that for each odd nilpotent…

Recently, Grozman and Leites returned to the original Cartan's description of Lie algebras to interpret the Melikyan algebras (for p<7) and several other little-known simple Lie algebras over algebraically closed fields for p=3 as…

These notes are devoted to the multiple generalization of a Lie algebra introduced by A.M.Vinogradov and M.M.Vinogradov. We compare definitions of such algebras in the usual and invariant case. Furthermore, we show that there are no simple…

Let F_o be a non-archimedean locally compact field of residual characteristic not 2. Let G be a classical group over F_o (with no quaternionic algebra involved) which is not of type A_n for n>1. Let b be an element of the Lie algebra g of G…

We classify simple linearly compact n-Lie superalgebras with n>2 over a field F of characteristic 0. The classification is based on a bijective correspondence between non-abelian n-Lie superalgebras and transitive Z-graded Lie superalgebras…

For any field $\K$ and integer $n\geq 2$ we consider the Leavitt algebra $L_\K(n)$; for any integer $d\geq 1$ we form the matrix ring $S = M_d(L_\K(n))$. $S$ is an associative algebra, but we view $S$ as a Lie algebra using the bracket…

In this paper, we show that a unital simple Steinberg algebra is central, and a nonunital simple Steinberg algebra has zero center. We identify the fields $K$ and Hausdorff ample groupoids $\mathcal{G}$ for which the simple Steinberg…

We find relations between real root decompositions of triples of Lie algebras corresponding to standard compact Clifford-Klein forms, under the assumption that these triples are not Lie algebra decompositions in the sense of Onishchik. This…

We study the structure of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{s}(n,\mathbb R)$ corresponding to the so-called stochastic Lie group $\mathcal{S} (n,\mathbb R)$. We obtain the Levi decomposition of the Lie algebra, classify Levi factor and classify…

The notion of defining relations is well-defined for any nilpotent Lie algebra. Therefore a conventional way to present a simple Lie algebra G is by splitting it into the direct sum of a commutative Cartan subalgebra and two maximal…

A method to construct in explicit form the generators of the simple roots of an arbitrary finite-dimensional representation of a quantum or standard semisimple algebra is found. The method is based on general results from the global theory…

Basic properties of Lie-orthogonal operators on a finite-dimensional Lie algebra are studied. In particular, the center, the radical and the components of the ascending central series prove to be invariant with respect to any Lie-orthogonal…

The exceptional simple Lie algebras of types E7 and E8 are endowed with optimal $SL_2^n$-structures, and are thus described in terms of the corresponding coordinate algebras. These are nonassociative algebras which much resemble the so…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring that is free of rank $k$ as an abelian group, $p$ a prime, and $SL(n,R)$ the special linear group. We show that the Lie algebra associated to the filtration of $SL(n,R)$ by $p$-congruence subgroups is…

The five simple exceptional complex Lie superalgbras of vector fields are described. One of them is new; the other four are explicitely described for the first time. All of the exceptional Lie superalgebras are obtained with the help of the…
