A famous result of Kostant states that the universal enveloping algebra of a semisimple complex Lie algebra is a free module over its center. We prove an analogue of this result for a class of filtered algebras and apply it to show the…

We classify kinematical Lie algebras in dimension $D \geq 4$. This is approached via the classification of deformations of the relevant static kinematical Lie algebra. We also classify the deformations of the universal central extension of…
A real Lie algebra with a compatible Hilbert space structure (in the sense that the scalar product is invariant) is called a Hilbert-Lie algebra. Such Lie algebras are natural infinite-dimensional analogues of the compact Lie algebras; in…
In these lectures we study some possible higher order (of degree greater than two) extensions of the Poincar\'e algebra. We first give some general properties of Lie superalgebras with some emphasis on the supersymmetric extension of the…
By definition, a quadratic Lie superalgebra is a Lie superalgebra endowed with a non-degenerate supersymmetric bilinear form which satisfies the even and invariant properties. In this paper we calculate all of the second cohomology group of…

The present work studies deeply quadratic symplectic Lie superalgebras, obtaining, in particular, that they are all nilpotent. Consequently, we provide classifications in low dimensions and identify the double extensions that maintain…
Let $X$ be a finite simply connected CW complex of dimension $n$. The loop space homology $H\_*(\Omega X;\mathbb Q)$ is the universal enveloping algebra of a graded Lie algebra $L\_X$ isomorphic with $ pi\_{*-1} (X)\otimes \mathbb Q$. Let…
We complete the problem of finding the universal central extension in the category of Leibniz superalgebras of $\mathfrak{sl}(m, n, D)$ when $m+n \geq 3$ and $D$ is a superdialgebra, solving in particular the problem when $D$ is an…
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $A$ an integral $K$-domain. The Lie algebra $Der_{K}(A)$ of all $K$-derivations of $A$ contains the set $LND(A)$ of all locally nilpotent derivations. The structure of…
Every symplectic Lie algebra with degenerate (including non-abelian nilpotent symplectic Lie algebras) has the structure of a quadratic extension. We give a standard model and describe the equivalence classes on the level of corresponding…
We study Lie algebras admitting para-K\"ahler and hyper-para-K\"ahler structures. We give new characterizations of these Lie algebras and we develop many methods to build large classes of examples. Bai considered para-K\"ahler Lie algebras…
Let $L$ be a Lie algebra with its enveloping algebra $U(L)$ over a field. In this paper we survey results concerning the isomorphism problem for enveloping algebras: given another Lie algebra $H$ for which $U(L)$ and $U(H)$ are isomorphic…
The study of global deformations of Lie algebras is related to the problem of classification of simple Lie algebras over fields of small characteristic. The classification of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras is complete over…
The symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak g)$ of a reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ is equipped with the standard Poisson structure, i.e., the Lie-Poisson bracket. Poisson-commutative subalgebras of $S(\mathfrak g)$ attract a great deal of…
Three kinds of universal central extension are considered for a perfect Lie algebra. More precisely, one can consider such a Lie algebra as a Lie triple system, or a Leibniz algebra and construct appropriate central extensions. We show that…
