A 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra n is called nonsingular if ad(X): n --> [n,n] is onto for any X not in [n,n]. We explore nonsingular algebras in several directions, including the classification problem (isomorphism invariants), the existence…
Every finite dimensional real representation of a compact real semisimple Lie algebra determines a metric 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra and a corresponding simply connected metric 2-step nilpotent Lie group N. We study the differential…
We construct families of $k$-step nilpotent symplectic Lie algebras associated with graphs, extending the construction given in [Pouseele-Tirao, JPAA 213 (2009)] for the 2-step case. We also show that, under mild conditions on the…
We characterize those graphs which correspond to a rigid 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra in the variety of at most 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras.
We construct examples of two-step and three-step nilpotent Lie groups whose automorphism groups are `small' in the sense of either not having a dense orbit for the action on the Lie group, or being nilpotent (the latter being stronger).…
In this note we consider 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras associated with graphs. We prove that 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras $\n$ and $\n'$ associated with graphs $(S, E)$ and $(S', E')$ respectively are isomorphic if and only if $(S, E)$ and…
We generalize a result on the Heisenberg Lie algebra that gives restrictions to possible Lie bialgebra cobrackets on 2-step nilpotent algebras with some additional properties. For the class of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras coming from…
We consider a method popular in the literature of associating a two-step nilpotent Lie algebra with a finite simple graph. We prove that the two-step nilpotent Lie algebras associated with two graphs are Lie isomorphic if and only if the…
The metric approach to studying 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras by making use of non-degenerate scalar products is realised. We show that any 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra is isomorphic to its standard pseudo-metric form, that is a 2-step…
We study symplectic structures on nilpotent Lie algebras. Since the classification of nilpotent Lie algebras in any dimension seems to be a crazy dream, we approach this study in case of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras (in this sub-case also,…
We present structural properties of Lie algebras admitting symmetric, invariant and nondegenerate bilinear forms. We show that these properties are not satisfied by nilradicals of parabolic subalgebras of real split forms of complex simple…
We investigate Lie algebras whose Lie bracket is also an associative or cubic associative multiplication to characterize the class of nilpotent Lie algebras with a nilindex equal to 2 or 3. In particular we study the class of 2-step…
We thoroughly explore the class of k-step nilpotent Lie algebras associated with a simple graph looking for k-step nilpotent Lie algebras which are rigid in the variety of at most k-step nilpotent Lie algebras. We find out that, besides the…
We give a characterization of the $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras whose corresponding Lie groups admit a left invariant complex structure. This is done by considering separately the cases when the complex structure is 2-step or 3-step…
We classify finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras with $2$-dimensional central commutator ideals admitting a Lie group of automorphisms isomorphic to $SO_2(\mathbb R)$. This enables one to enlarge the class of nilpotent Lie algebras of…
The classification of complex of real finite dimensional Lie algebras which are not semi simple is still in its early stages. For example the nilpotent Lie algebras are classified only up to the dimension 7. Moreover, to recognize a given…
We classify solvable Lie groups with a free nilradical admitting an Einstein left-invariant metric. Any such group is essentially determined by the nilradical of its Lie algebra, which is then called an Einstein nilradical. We show that…
We provide a self contained, elementary, and geometrically-flavored classification of $8$-dimensional $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras over algebraically closed fields of characteristic $\ne 2,3$, using the algebro-geometric arguments from…
We associate a two-step nilpotent Lie algebra to an arbitrary Schreier graph. We then use properties of the Schreier graph to determine necessary and sufficient conditions for this Lie algebra to extend to a three-step nilpotent Lie…
We consider a family of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras associated to uniform complete graphs on odd number of vertices. We prove that the symmetry group of such a graph is the holomorph of the additive cyclic group $\Z_n$. Moreover, we prove…
