Over a field of characteristic zero we prove two formality conditions. We prove that a dg Lie algebra is formal if and only if its universal enveloping algebra is formal. We also prove that a commutative dg algebra is formal as a dg…

This paper is primarily concerned with studying finite-dimensional anti-commutative nonassociative algebras in which every centralizer is an ideal. These are shown to be anti-associative and are classified over a general field $F$; in…

This paper concerns the study of Leibniz algebras, a natural generalization of Lie algebras, from the perspective of centralizers of elements. We study conditions on Leibniz algebras under which centralizers of all elements are ideals. We…

We prove that if A is a finite algebra with a parallelogram term that satisfies the split centralizer condition, then A is dualizable. This yields yet another proof of the dualizability of any finite algebra with a near unanimity term, but…

A (vector space) basis B of a Lie algebra is said to be very nilpotent if all the iterated brackets of elements of B are nilpotent. In this note, we prove a refinement of Engel's Theorem. We show that a Lie algebra has a very nilpotent…

All finite-dimensional indecomposable solvable Lie algebras g, having the filiform Lie algebra Q_(2m+1) as the nilradical, are studied and classified. It turns out that the dimension of g is at most dimQ_(2m+1)+2.

We consider aspects of the relationship between nilpotent orbits in a semisimple real Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and those in its complexification $\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbb{C}}$. In particular, we prove that two distinct real nilpotent orbits…
