Let $q$ be a prime power and let $G$ be an absolutely irreducible subgroup of $GL_d(F)$, where $F$ is a finite field of the same characteristic as $\F_q$, the field of $q$ elements. Assume that $G \cong G(q)$, a quasisimple group of…

Consider a finite-dimensional, complex Lie algebra G and a semi-simple automorphism {\alpha}. This note aims to give a short and simple proof for explicit upper bounds for the derived length of the radical R and the rank of a Levi…
Checking the admissibility of quasiequations in a finitely generated (i.e., generated by a finite set of finite algebras) quasivariety Q amounts to checking validity in a suitable finite free algebra of the quasivariety, and is therefore…

We present a new look at description of real finite-dimensional Lie algebras. The basic element turns out to be a pair $(F,v)$ consisting of a linear mapping $F\in End(V)$ and its eigenvector $v$. This pair allows to build a Lie bracket on…

A Lie polynomial is an element of a free Lie algebra $\mathcal F_k$ on $k$-generators, which defines a Lie map on a given Lie algebra $L$, by substituting $k$-elements of $L$. Similar to word maps on groups and polynomial maps on algebras,…
We give a full classification of Lie algebras of specific type in complexified Clifford algebras. These sixteen Lie algebras are direct sums of subspaces of quaternion types. We obtain isomorphisms between these Lie algebras and classical…
A constructive method for decomposing finite dimensional representations of semisimple real Lie algebras is developed. The method is illustrated by an example. We also discuss an implementation of the algorithm in the language of the…
We associate a real distribution to any complex Lie algebroid that we call distribution of real elements and a new invariant that we call real rank, given by the pointwise rank of this distribution. When the real rank is constant, we obtain…
We discuss various computational issues around the problem of determining the character values of finite Chevalley groups, in the framework provided by Lusztig's theory of character sheaves. Some of the remaining open questions (concerning…
This work analyses types of group actions on families of $t$-dependent vector fields of a particular class, the hereby called quasi-Lie families. We devise methods to obtain the defined here quasi-Lie invariants, namely a kind of functions…
We study simple Lie algebras generated by extremal elements, over arbitrary fields of arbitrary characteristic. We show: (1) If the extremal geometry contains lines, then the Lie algebra admits a $5 \times 5$-grading that can be…
A brief proof of Lie's classification of finite dimensional subalgebras of vector fields on the complex plane that have a proper Levi decomposition is given. The proof uses basic representation theory of sl(2, C). This, combined with…
We develop a new way of writing the Lame Hamiltonian in Lie-algebraic form. This yields, in a natural way, an explicit formula for both the Lame polynomials and the classical non-meromorphic Lame functions in terms of Chebyshev polynomials…

The concept of a nice basis for a Lie algebra was introduced to study the Ricci curvature on nilpotent Lie groups equipped with a left-invariant metric. Despite the many applications in differential geometry, for example in the construction…
