This work investigates the existence of complex structures on 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras arising from finite graphs. We introduce the notion of adapted complex structure, namely a complex structure that maps vertices and edges of the…

We present a novel construction of linear deformations for Lie algebras and use it to prove the non-rigidity of several classes of Lie algebras in different varieties. We consider the family of Lie algebras with an abelian factor showing…

Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in a simply-connected nilpotent Lie group $N$ whose Lie algebra $\mathfrak{n}$ is $p$-filiform. We show that $\Gamma$ is either abelian or 2-step nilpotent if $\Gamma$ is isomorphic to the fundamental group of a…

We show obstructions to the existence of a coclosed $G_2$-structure on a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ of dimension seven with non-trivial center. In particular, we prove that if there exist a Lie algebra epimorphism from $\mathfrak g$ to a…

In 1976, Milnor classified all Lie groups admitting a flat left-invariant metric. They form a special type of unimodular 2-step solvable groups. Considering Lie groups with Hermitian structure, namely, a left-invariant complex structure and…

The only known examples of noncompact Einstein homogeneous spaces are standard solvmanifolds (special solvable Lie groups endowed with a left invariant metric), and according to a long standing conjecture, they might be all. The…

We show that every Born Lie algebra can be obtained by the bicross product construction starting from two pseudo-Riemannian Lie algebras. We then obtain a classification of all Lie algebras up to dimension four and all six-dimensional…

The aim of this work is the study of left-invariant magnetic fields on 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. While the existence of closed 2-forms for which the center is either nondegenerate or in the kernel of the 2-form, is always guaranteed, the…

In this paper, we introduce pre-Lie and pre-Leibniz superalgebras, which generalize pre-Lie and pre-Leibniz algebras to the super setting. Additionally, we define a Levi-Civita product associated with a symmetric non-degenerate bilinear…

We establish a sharpening of Kirillov's lemma on nilpotent Lie algebras with 1-dimensional center and use it to study the structure of 3-step nilpotent Lie algebras.

We call the Lie algebra of a Lie group with a left invariant pseudo-Riemannian flat metric pseudo-Riemannian flat Lie algebra. We give a new proof of a classical result of Milnor on Riemannian flat Lie algebras. We reduce the study of…

First we describe the Skjelbred-Sund method for classifying nilpotent Lie algebras. Then we use it to classify 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras over any field of characteristic not 2. The proof of this classification is essentially…

In this paper, we systematically investigate the nilpotentizer and nilpotent graph for a Lie superalgebra over the field of characteristic not equal to 2. First, we establish some fundamental properties of the nilpotentizer. Next, we show…

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…

In this work we study a particular class of Lie bialgebras arising from Hermitian structures on Lie algebras such that the metric is ad-invariant. We will refer to them as Lie bialgebras of complex type. These give rise to Poisson Lie…
