We introduce a new type of algebra, which is called a Lie-Leibniz algebra. This concept is an abstraction of derived bracket construction. It will be proved that the operad of Lie-Leibniz algebras is Koszul. The strong homotopy version of…
In this paper, we study Whittaker modules for graded Lie algebras. We define Whittaker modules for a class of graded Lie algebras and obtain a bijective correspondence between the set of isomorphism classes of Whittaker modules and the set…
In the representation theory of simple Lie algebras, we consider the problem of constructing a "canonical" weight basis in an arbitrary irreducible finite-dimensional highest weight module. Vinberg suggested a method for constructing such…
We use the Perron-Frobenius Theorem to define, study and, in some sense, classify special simple modules over arbitrary finite dimensional positively based algebras. For group algebras of finite Weyl groups with respect to the…
A ${\mathbb Z}_2\times{\mathbb Z}_2$-graded Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ is a ${\mathbb Z}_2\times{\mathbb Z}_2$-graded algebra $\mathfrak g$ with a bracket $[|. , . |]$ that satisfies certain graded versions of the symmetry and Jacobi…
We construct classes of $Z_2 \times Z_2$-graded Lie algebras corresponding to the classical Lie algebras, in terms of their defining matrices. For the $Z_2 \times Z_2$-graded Lie algebra of type $A$, the construction coincides with the…
We consider a class of infinite-dimensional, modular, graded Lie algebras, which includes the graded Lie algebra associated to the Nottingham group with respect to its lower central series. We identify two subclasses of Nottingham Lie…
The weight systems of finite-dimensional representations of complex, simple Lie algebras exhibit patterns beyond Weyl-group symmetry. These patterns occur because weight systems can be decomposed into lattice polytopes in a natural way.…
We consider a central extension of the sheaf of Lie algebras of maps from a manifold into a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra, together with the sheaf of vector fields. Using vertex algebra methods we construct sheaves of modules for…
The Virasoro Lie algebra is a one-dimensional central extension of the Witt algebra, which can be realized as the Lie algebra of derivations on the algebra $\cc [t^{\pm}]$ of Laurent polynomials. Using this fact, we define a natural family…
We use Galois descent to construct central extensions of twisted forms of split simple Lie algebras over rings. These types of algebras arise naturally in the construction of Extended Affine Lie Algebras. The construction also gives…
For a simple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, fixing a principal $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-triple and highest weight vectors induces a basis of $\mathfrak{g}$ as vector space. For $\mathfrak{sl}_n$, we describe how to compute the Lie bracket in…
An orthogonal decomposition problem of Lie algebras over the complex numbers has been studied since the 1980s. It has many applications and relations to other areas of mathematics and sciences. In this paper, we consider this decomposition…
Classical contact Lie algebras are the fundamental algebraic structures on the manifolds of contact elements of configuration spaces in classical mechanics. In this paper, we determine the structure of the currently largest known category…
In this paper we begin to study the subalgebra lattice of a Leibniz algebra. In particular, we deal with Leibniz algebras whose subalgebra lattice is modular, upper semi-modular, lower semi-modular, distributive, or dually atomistic. The…
We extend the calculus of multiplicative vector fields and differential forms and their intrinsic derivatives from Lie groups to Lie groupoids; this generalization turns out to include also the classical process of complete lifting from…
The orbits of Weyl groups W(A(n)) of simple A(n) type Lie algebras are reduced to the union of orbits of the Weyl groups of maximal reductive subalgebras of A(n). Matrices transforming points of the orbits of W(An) into points of subalgebra…
For a finite dimensional simple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, Lie bialgebra structures on $\mathfrak{g}[[u]]$ and $\mathfrak{g}[u]$ were classified by Montaner, Stolin and Zelmanov. In our paper, we provide an explicit algorithm to…
The classical notion of splitting a binary quadratic operad $\mathcal{P}$ gives the notion of pre-$\mathcal{P}$-algebras characterized by $\mathcal{O}$-operators, with pre-Lie algebras as a well-known example. Pre-$\mathcal{P}$-algebras…
A Lie 2-algebra is a "categorified" version of a Lie algebra: that is, a category equipped with structures analogous those of a Lie algebra, for which the usual laws hold up to isomorphism. In the classical mechanics of point particles, the…
