In this thesis we describe the universal central extension of two important classes of so-called root-graded Lie algebras defined over a commutative associative unital ring $k.$ Root-graded Lie algebras are Lie algebras which are graded by…

An associative division algebra D is said to be _affine_ over a central subfield k if D is finitely generated as a k-algebra. In 1956 Amitsur famously proved that, when k is uncountable, D cannot be k-affine unless D is algebraic over k. In…

For Lie algebras whose Poisson semi-center is a polynomial ring we give a bound for the sum of the degrees of the generating semi-invariants. This bound was previously known in many special cases.

The super-algebraic structure of a generalized version of the Jaynes-Cummings model is investigated. We find that a Z2 graded extension of the so(2,1) Lie algebra is the underlying symmetry of this model. It is isomorphic to the…

We prove that the enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak q)$ of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak q$ contains a commutative subalgebra of the maximal possible transcendence degree $(\dim\mathfrak q+ \mathrm{ind}\,\mathfrak q)/2$.

A finite-dimensional Lie algebra is called an A-algebra if all of its nilpotent subalgebras are abelian. These arise in the study of constant Yang-Mills potentials and have also been particularly important in relation to the problem of…

In this article we show that distributive law holds for non-abelian tensor product of Lie superalgebras under certain direct sums. There by we obtain a rule for non-abelian exterior square of a Lie superalgebra. We define capable Lie…

In this paper we describe all Lie bialgebra structures on the polynomial Lie algebra $\mathbf{g}[u]$, where $\mathbf{g}$ is a simple, finite dimensional, complex Lie algebra. The results are based on an unpublished paper Montaner and…

We study differential splitting fields of quaternion algebras with derivations. A quaternion algebra over a field $k$ is always split by a quadratic extension of $k$. However, a differential quaternion algebra need not be split over any…

We present the most general polynomial Lie algebra generated by a second order integral of motion and one of order M, construct the Casimir operator, and show how the Jacobi identity provides the existence of a realization in terms of…

We investigate the real Lie algebra of first-order differential operators with polynomial coefficients, which is subject to the following requirements. (1) The Lie algebra should admit a basis of differential operators with homogeneous…

A Lie (super)algebra with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form will be called a NIS-Lie (super)algebra. The double extension of a NIS-Lie (super)algebra is the result of simultaneously adding to it a central element and an…

We show that the space R^n x gl(n,R) with a certain antisymmetric bracket operation contains all n-dimensional Lie algebras. The bracket does not satisfy the Jacobi identity, but it does satisfy it for subalgebras which are isotropic under…

Let (S,L) be a Lie-Rinehart algebra over a commutative ring R. This article proves that, if S is flat as an R-module and has Van den Bergh duality in dimension n, and if L is finitely generated and projective with constant rank d as an…

The indecomposable solvable Lie algebras with graded nilradical of maximal nilindex and a Heisenberg subalgebra of codimension one are analyzed, and their generalized Casimir invariants calculated. It is shown that rank one solvable…

We apply the technique of twisted extensions of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras to find new 3D integrable {\sc pde}s related to the deformations of Lie algebra $\mathbb{R}_N[s]\otimes \mathfrak{w}$ with $N=1, 2$ as well as to the Lie…

Over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic, for simple Lie (super)algebras, and certain Lie (super)algebras close to simple ones, with symmetric root systems (such that for each root, there is minus it of the same…

Let $A_1:=K\langle x, \frac{d}{dx} \rangle$ be the Weyl algebra and $\mI_1:= K\langle x, \frac{d}{dx}, \int \rangle$ be the algebra of polynomial integro-differential operators over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. The Conjecture/Problem…

This paper details the Leibniz generalization of Lie-theoretic results from Peggy Batten's 1993 dissertation. We first show that the multiplier of a Leibniz algebra is characterized by its second cohomology group with coefficients in the…

Given a real, twisted Dirac structure $L$ on a smooth manifold $M$, and a closed embedded submanifold $N\subseteq M$ of codimension $>1$, we characterise when $L$ lifts to a smooth, twisted Dirac structure on the real projective blowup of…
