For every field $F$ which has a quadratic extension $E$ we show there are non-metabelian infinite-dimensional thin graded Lie algebras all of whose homogeneous components, except the second one, have dimension $2$. We construct such Lie…

We study equivariant embeddings with small boundary of a given homogeneous space $G/H$, where $G$ is a connected, linear algebraic group with trivial Picard group and only trivial characters, and $H \subset G$ is an extension of a connected…

We describe a class (called regular) of invariant generalized complex structures on a real semisimple Lie group G. The problem reduces to the description of admissible pairs (\gk, \omega), where \gk is an appropriate regular subalgebra of…

We study the structures of arbitrary split $\delta$ Jordan-Lie algebras with symmetric root systems. We show that any of such algebras $L$ is of the form $L = U + \sum\limits_{[j] \in \Lambda/\sim}I_{[j]}$ with $U$ a subspace of $H$ and any…

Let G be a complex simple algebraic group. We consider invariant-theoretic properties of the simple G-module whose highest weight is the short dominant root.

In this paper we prove that if G is a connected, simply-connected, semi-simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of sufficiently large characteristic, then all the blocks of the restricted enveloping algebra (Ug)_0 of the…

A Lie algebra $L$ is said to be $(\Theta_{n},sl_{n})$-graded if it contains a simple subalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ isomorphic to $sl_{n}$ such that the $\mathfrak{g}$-module $L$ decomposes into copies of the adjoint module, the trivial module,…

Extended affine root systems appear as the root systems of extended affine Lie algebras. A subclass of extended affine root systems, whose elements are called ``minimal" turns out to be of special interest mostly because of the geometric…

Let $(\mathfrak{g},[p])$ be a restricted Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p\!\ge \!3$. Motivated by the behavior of geometric invariants of the so-called $(\mathfrak{g},[p])$-modules of constant $j$-rank…

Let $G$ be a connected closed subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ which is simple as a Lie group and which acts irreducibly on $\mathbb{C}^n$. Regarding both $G$ and its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ as subsets of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$, we…

We introduce and investigate a functorial construction which associates coherent sheaves to finite dimensional (restricted) representations of a restricted Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. These are sheaves on locally closed subvarieties of the…

We give tables of noncompact real forms of maximal reductive subalgebras of complex simple Lie algebras of rank up to 8. These were obtained by computational methods that we briefly describe. We also discuss applications in theoretical…

We construct an L^2-model of "very small" irreducible unitary representations of simple Lie groups G which, up to finite covering, occur as conformal groups Co(V) of simple Jordan algebras V. If $V$ is split and G is not of type A_n, then…

The Lie algbera of a compact semisimple Lie group G is determined by the degrees of the irreducible representations of G. However, two different groups can have the same representation degrees.

We study the structure of a metric $n$-Lie algebra $\mathcal {G}$ over the complex field $\mathbb C$. Let $\mathcal {G}= \mathcal S\oplus {\mathcal R}$ be the Levi decomposition, where $\mathcal R$ is the radical of $\mathcal {G}$ and…

We exhibit explicit orthogonal decompositions of every multidimensional restricted root space of a real semi-simple Lie algebra. We then show a link between this result and a radiality property of smooth functions on G-homogeneous spaces…

We study embeddings of groups of Lie type $H$ in characteristic $p$ into exceptional algebraic groups $\mathbf G$ of the same characteristic. We exclude the case where $H$ is of type $\mathrm{PSL}_2$. A subgroup of $\mathbf G$ is \emph{Lie…

Let G --> G' be an embedding of semisimple complex Lie groups, let B and B' be a pair of nested Borel subgroups, and let f:G/B --> G'/B' be the associated equivariant embedding of flag manifolds. We study the pullbacks of cohomologies of…

Throughout the papers of E.B. Vinberg some non-abelian gradings of simple Lie algebras were introduced and investigated, namely short $SO_3 -$ and $SL_3$ - structures. We study another kind of them -- short $SL_2$ - structures. The main…

In this work, we consider Lie algebras L containing a subalgebra isomorphic to sl3 and such that L decomposes as a module for that sl3 subalgebra into copies of the adjoint module, the natural 3-dimensional module and its dual, and the…
