This work is prompted by the long standing question of whether it is possible for the universal enveloping algebra of an infinite dimensional Lie algebra to be noetherian. To address this problem, we answer a 23-year-old question of Carolyn…
In a paper by Michaelis a class of infinite-dimensional Lie bialgebras containing the Virasoro algebra was presented. This type of Lie bialgebras was classified by Ng and Taft. In this paper, all Lie bialgebra structures on the Lie algebras…
Structures of dual Lie bialgebras on the one sided Witt algebra, the Witt algebra and the Virasoro algebra are investigated. As a result, we obtain some infinite dimensional Lie algebras.
The Virasoro Lie algebra is a one-dimensional central extension of the Witt algebra, which can be realized as the Lie algebra of derivations on the algebra $\cc [t^{\pm}]$ of Laurent polynomials. Using this fact, we define a natural family…
In two recent papers by the authors, all Lie bialgebra structures on Lie algebras of generalized Witt type are classified. In this paper all Lie bialgebra structures on generalized Virasoro-like algebras are determined. It is proved that…
In the paper there are investigated various approximate representations of the infinite dimensional $\Bbb Z$--graded Lie algebras: the Witt algebra of all Laurent polynomial vector fields on a circle and its one-dimensional nontrivial…
We determine all two-dimensional Lie subalgebras of the centreless Virasoro algebra and complete the characterization of all finite dimensional Lie subalgebras of the complex Virasoro algebra.
Using simple modules over the derivation Lie algebra $C[t]\frac{d}{d t}$ of the associative polynomial algebra $C[t]$, we construct new weight Virasoro modules with all weight spaces infinite dimensional. We determine necessary and…
For any finite dimensional Lie superalgebra $\dot{\mathfrak{g}}$ (maybe a Lie algebra) with an even derivation $d$ and a finite order automorphism $\sigma$ that commutes with $d$, we introduce the $(d,\sigma)$-twisted Affine-Virasoro…
We find that a compatible graded left-symmetric algebra structure on the Witt algebra induces an indecomposable module of the Witt algebra with 1-dimensional weight spaces by its left multiplication operators. From the classification of…
Generalized Virasoro algebras (defined as the universal central extension of some generalized Witt algebras) and super-Virasoro algebras and modules of the intermediate series are studied and discussed.
Lie algebras formed via semi-direct sums of the Witt algebra $\text{Der}(\mathbb{C}[t,t^{-1}])$ and its modules have become increasingly prominent in both physics and mathematics in recent years. In this paper, we complete the study of…
We introduce a new class of possibly infinite dimensional Lie algebras and study their structural properties. Examples of this new class of Lie algebras are finite dimensional simple Lie algebras containing a nonzero split torus, affine and…
In this paper, a simple Lie algebra, referred to as the completed Witt Lie algebra, is introduced. Its derivation algebra and automorphism group are completely described. As a byproduct, it is obtained that the first cohomology group of…
A relation between $\frac{1}{2}$-derivations of Lie algebras and transposed Poisson algebras was established. Some non-trivial transposed Poisson algebras with a certain Lie algebra (Witt algebra, algebra $\mathcal{W}(a,-1)$, thin Lie…
We introduce a new class of simple Lie algebras $W(n,m)$ that generalize the Witt algebra by using "exponential" functions, and also a subalgebra $W^*(n,m)$ thereof; and we show each derivation of $W^*(1,0)$ can be written as a sum of an…
We show that it is possible to construct a Virasoro algebra as a central extension of the fractional Witt algebra generated by non-local operators of the form, $L_n^a\equiv\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial z}\right)^a$ where $a\in {\mathbb…
The goal of this paper is to study the representation theory of a classical infinite-dimensional Lie algebra - the Lie algebra of vector fields on an N-dimensional torus for N > 1. The case N=1 gives a famous Virasoro algebra (or its…
We introduce and study soficity for Lie algebras, modelled after linear soficity in associative algebras. We introduce equivalent definitions of soficity, one involving metric ultraproducts and the other involving almost representations. We…
We classify all the pairs of a commutative associative algebra with an identity element and its finite-dimensional commutative locally-finite derivation subalgebra such that the commutative associative algebra is derivation-simple with…
