A class of representations of a Lie superalgebra (over a commutative superring) in its symmetric algebra is studied. As an application we get a direct and natural proof of a strong form of the Poincare'-Birkhoff-Witt theorem, extending this…

Seaweed (biparabolic) subalgebras form a large and structurally rich class of subalgebras of simple Lie algebras. We determine their adjoint cohomology. If $\mathfrak{s}$ is an indecomposable seaweed subalgebra of a complex simple Lie…

We study cohomology groups of the Lie algebra of vector fields on the complex line, $W_1$, with values in the tensor fields in several variables. From a generalization by Scheja of the second Riemann (Hartogs) continuation theorem, we…

We initiate the representation theory of restricted Lie superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>2. A superalgebra generalization of the celebrated Kac-Weisfeiler Conjecture is formulated, which exhibits a…

I show that simple finite vertex algebras are commutative, and that the Lie conformal algebra structure underlying a reduced (i.e., without nilpotent elements) finite vertex algebra is nilpotent.

We consider the Lie algebra consisting of all derivations on the free associative algebra, generated by the first homology group of a closed oriented surface, which kill the symplectic class. We find the first non-trivial abelianization of…

We present a formalization, in the theorem prover Lean, of the classification of solvable Lie algebras of dimension at most three over arbitrary fields. Lie algebras are algebraic objects which encode infinitesimal symmetries, and as such…

Given a finite dimensional Lie algebra $L$ let $I$ be the augmentation ideal in the universal enveloping algebra $U(L)$. We study the conditions on $L$ under which the $Ext$-groups $Ext (k,k)$ for the trivial $L$-module $k$ are the same…

The present paper is devoted to study 2-local derivations on infinite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that all 2-local derivations on the Witt algebra as well as on the positive Witt algebra are…
