We define and study a pro-$p$ version of Sidki's weak commutativity construction. This is the pro-$p$ group $\mathfrak{X}_p(G)$ generated by two copies $G$ and $G^{\psi}$ of a pro-$p$ group, subject to the defining relators $[g,g^{\psi}]$…

Levi's theorem decomposes any arbitrary Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero, as a direct sum of a semisimple Lie algebra (named Levi factor) and its solvable radical. Given a solvable Lie algebra $R$, a semisimple Lie algebra…

We consider a Leibniz algebra ${\mathfrak L} = {\mathfrak I} \oplus {\mathfrak V}$ over an arbitrary base field $\mathbb{F}$, being ${\mathfrak I}$ the ideal generated by the products $[x,x], x \in {\mathfrak L}$. This ideal has a…

For $G$ a connected, reductive group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of large characteristic, we use the canonical Springer isomorphism between the nilpotent variety of $\mathfrak{g}:=\mathrm{Lie}(G)$ and the unipotent variety of $G$…

A metric Lie algebra g is a Lie algebra equipped with an inner product. A subalgebra h of a metric Lie algebra g is said to be totally geodesic if the Lie subgroup corresponding to h is a totally geodesic submanifold relative to the…

A Lie algebra L is known to be nilpotent if it admits a grading by (Zp, +) with support X not containing 0. It is also known that the class of L can be bounded by some explicit function of |X|. We generalise this and other classical results…

Let $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{g}_{\bar{0}}+\mathfrak{g}_{\bar{1}}$ be a basic Lie superalgebra, $\mathcal{W}_0$ (resp.$\mathcal{W}$) be the finite W-(resp.super-) algebras constructed from a fixed nilpotent element in…

We show that if a countably generated Lie algebra $H$ does not contain isomorphic copies of certain finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras $A$ and $B$ (satisfying some mild conditions), then $H$ embeds into a quotient of $A \ast B$ that…

Let L be a restricted Lie algebra over a field of positive characteristic. We survey the known results about the Lie structure of the restricted enveloping algebra u(L) of L. Related results about the structure of the group of units and the…

The aim of this work is to study a very special family of odd-quadratic Lie superalgebras ${\mathfrak g}={\mathfrak g}_{\bar 0}\oplus {\mathfrak g}_{\bar 1}$ such that ${\mathfrak g}_{\bar 1}$ is a weak filiform ${\mathfrak g}_{\bar…

Let $L$ be a finite dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic $0$. Then by the original Levi theorem, $L = B \oplus R$ where $R$ is the solvable radical and $B$ is some maximal semisimple subalgebra. We prove that if $L$ is an…

Until a couple of years ago, the only known examples of Lie groups admitting left-invariant metrics with negative Ricci curvature were either solvable or semisimple. We use a general construction from a previous article of the second named…

From a commutative associative algebra $A$, the infinite dimensional unital 3-Lie Poisson algebra~$\mathfrak{L}$~is constructed, which is also a canonical Nambu 3-Lie algebra, and the structure of $\mathfrak{L}$ is discussed. It is proved…

We develop the theory of the higher commutator for Taylor varieties. A new higher commutator operation called the hypercommutator is defined using a type of invariant relation called a higher dimensional congruence. The hypercommutator is…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a Kac-Moody algebra and $\mathfrak{b}_1, \mathfrak{b}_2$ be Borel subalgebras of opposite signs. The intersection $\mathfrak{b} = \mathfrak{b}_1 \cap \mathfrak{b}_2$ is a finite-dimensional solvable subalgebra of…

We study ad-nilpotent ideals of a parabolic subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra. Any such ideal determines an antichain in a set of positive roots of the simple Lie algebra. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an antichain to…

Let $\mathfrak{R}$ be a weakly noetherian variety of unitary associative algebras (over a field $K$ of characteristic 0), i.e., every finitely generated algebra from $\mathfrak{R}$ satisfies the ascending chain condition for two-sided…

Ideals that share properties with the Frattini ideal of a Leibniz algebra are studied. Similar investigations have been considered in group theory. However most of the results are new for Lie algebras. Many of the results involve nilpotency…

The main result of this paper is to prove that if a (right) Leibniz algebra $L$ is \textit{right nilpotent} of degree $n$, then $L$ is \textit{strongly nilpotent} of degree less or equal to $4n^2-2n+1$.

In this article, we discuss Lie nilpotency and Lie solvability of non-abelian tensor product of multiplicative Lie algebras. In particular, for giving information concerning the Lie nilpotency (or Lie solvability) of either multiplicative…
