We consider the natural Lie algebra structure on the (associative) group algebra of a finite group $G$, and show that the Lie subalgebras associated to natural involutive antiautomorphisms of this group algebra are reductive ones. We give a…
We study the central extensions of Lie algebras graded by an irreducible locally finite root system.
We study almost inner derivations of $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras of genus $2$, i.e., having a $2$-dimensional commutator ideal, using matrix pencils. In particular we determine all almost inner derivations of such algebras in terms of…
We study \'etale descent of derivations of algebras with values in a module. The algebras under consideration are twisted forms of algebras over rings, and apply to all classes of algebras, notably associative and Lie algebras, such as the…
Solvable Lie algebras having at least one Abelian descending central ideal are studied. It is shown that all such Lie algebras can be built up from canonically defined ideals. The nature of such ideals is elucidated and their construction…
This is the second of two papers treating faithful actions of simple algebraic groups on irreducible modules and on the associated Grassmannian varieties; in the first paper we considered the module itself and its projective space, while…
Decomposition classes provide a way of partitioning the Lie algebras of an algebraic group into equivalence classes based on the Jordan decomposition. In this paper, we investigate the decomposition classes of the Lie algebras of connected…
Given a connected non-negative unit form we construct an extended affine Lie algebra by giving a Chevalley basis for it. We also obtain this algebra as a quotient of an algebra defined by means of generalized Serre relations by M. Barot, D.…
Let $\mathfrak g$ be a complex simple Lie algebra and $\mathfrak n$ the nilradical of a parabolic subalgebra of $\mathfrak g$. We consider some properties of the coadjoint representation of $\mathfrak n$ and related algebras of invariants.…
In this thesis we discuss some properties of centralisers in classical Lie algebas and related structures. Our results follow three distinct but related themes: the modular representation theory of centralisers, the sheets of simple Lie…
We prove that in a locally finite dimensional Lie algebra L, any maximal, locally solvable subalgebra (Borel subalgebra) is the stabilizer of a maximal, generalized flag in an integrable, faithful module over L.
We study certain Z_2-graded, finite-dimensional polynomial algebras of degree 2 which are a special class of deformations of Lie superalgebras, which we call quadratic Lie superalgebras. Starting from the formal definition, we discuss the…
We consider a class of infinite-dimensional, modular, graded Lie algebras, which includes the graded Lie algebra associated to the Nottingham group with respect to its lower central series. We identify two subclasses of Nottingham Lie…
Let $\g$ be a simple Lie algebra of type A or C. We show that the coadjoint representation of any seaweed subalgebra of $\g$ has some properties similar to that of the adjoint representation of a reductive Lie algebra. Namely, a) the field…
Several general properties, concerning reduction algebras - rings of definition and algorithmic efficiency of the set of ordering relations - are discussed. For the reduction algebras, related to the diagonal embedding of the Lie algebra…
Minimal Q-graded subalgebras of semisimple Lie algebras are introduced, and it is proved that their derived algebras are abelian. Almost inner derivations of minimal Q-graded subalgebras are investigated, they are all inner derivations.…
We first establish some general results connecting real and complex Lie algebras of first-order differential operators. These are applied to completely classify all finite-dimensional real Lie algebras of first-order differential operators…
The present paper contains a systematic study of the structure of metric Lie algebras, i.e., finite-dimensional real Lie algebras equipped with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form. We show that any metric Lie algebra without…
In this paper a characterisation is given of solvable complemented Lie algebras. They decompose as a direct sum of abelian subalgebras and their ideals relate nicely to this decomposition. The class of such algebras is shown to be a…
In this paper we extend and adapt several results on extensions of Lie algebras to topological Lie algebras over topological fields of characteristic zero. In particular we describe the set of equivalence classes of extensions of the Lie…
