Let L be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of F characteristic p>3. We prove that if the p-envelope of L in the derivation algebra of L contains nonstandard tori of maximal dimension, then p=5 and L…
Generalising a previous work of Jiang and Sheng, a cohomology theory for differential Lie algebras of arbitrary weight is introduced. The underlying $L_\infty[1]$-structure on the cochain complex is also determined via a generalised version…
This article contains the last part of the mini-course `Spaces: a perspective view' delivered at the IFWGP2012. Here I deal with the part of the mini-course which centers on the classification questions associated to the simple real Lie…
The deformed current Lie algebra was introduced by the author to study the representation theory of cyclotomic q-Schur algebras at q=1. In this paper, we classify finite dimensional simple modules of deformed current Lie algebras.
In physics, Lie groups represent the algebraic structure that describes symmetry transformations of a given system. Then, the descending Lie algebra of those groups are necessarily real. In most cases, the complexification of those Lie…
We give an introduction to the structure theory of extended affine Lie algebras, which provide a common framework for finite-dimensional semisimple, affine and toroidal Lie algebras. The notes are based on a lecture series given during the…
The first aim of this paper is to show that any finite-dimensional reductive Lie algebra and its finite-dimensional completely reducible representation can be embedded into some PC Lie algebra. The second aim is to find the structure of a…
We call a finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ strongly rigid if its universal enveloping algebra $\Ug$ is rigid as an associative algebra, i.e. every formal associative deformation is equivalent to the trivial deformation.…
The notion of an F-manifold algebra is the underlying algebraic structure of an $F$-manifold. We introduce the notion of pre-Lie formal deformations of commutative associative algebras and show that F-manifold algebras are the corresponding…
Four-dimensional, oriented Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$ which satisfy the tame-compatible question of Donaldson for all almost complex structures $J$ on $\mathfrak{g}$ are completely described. As a consequence, examples are given of…
In this work we state a result that relates the cohomology groups of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and a current Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathcal{S}$, by means of a short exact sequence -- similar to the universal coefficients…
This book is mainly an exposition of the author's works and his joint works with his former students on explicit representations of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras, related partial differential equations, linear orthogonal algebraic…
We define a new invariant of quadratic Lie algebras and give a complete study and classification of singular quadratic Lie algebras, i.e. those for which the invariant does not vanish. The classification is related to…
Some fine gradings on the exceptional Lie algebras $\mathfrak{e}_6$, $\mathfrak{e}_7$ and $\mathfrak{e}_8$ are described. This list tries to be exhaustive.
We introduce a notion of elliptic differential graded Lie algebra. The class of elliptic algebras contains such examples as the algebra of differential forms with values in endomorphisms of a flat vector bundle over a compact manifold, etc.…
We classify real and complex infinite-dimensional narrow positively graded Lie algebras ${\mathfrak g}=\oplus_{i=1}^{{+}\infty}{\mathfrak g}_i$ with properties $$ [{\mathfrak g}_1, {\mathfrak g}_i]={\mathfrak g}_{i{+}1}, \; \dim{{\mathfrak…
$F-$Lie algebras are natural generalisations of Lie algebras (F=1) and Lie superalgebras (F=2). When $F>2$ not many finite-dimensional examples are known. In this paper we construct finite-dimensional $F-$Lie algebras $F>2$ by an inductive…
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…
This paper surveys basic properties of finite presentation in groups, Lie algebras and rings. It includes some new results and also new, more elementary proofs, of some results that are already in the literature. In particular, we discuss…
All results concern characteristic 2. Two procedures that to every simple Lie algebra assign simple Lie superalgebras, most of the latter new, are offered. We prove that every simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra is obtained as the…
