In this paper we study gradings on simple Lie algebras arising from nilpotent elements. Specifically, we investigate abelian subalgebras which are degree 1 homogeneous with respect to these gradings. We show that for each odd nilpotent…
In recent years, the finite W-algebras associated to a semisimple Lie algebra and its nilpotent element have been studied intensively from different viewpoints. In this lecture series, we shall present some basic constructions, connections,…
A solvable Lie algebra L has the property that its nilradical N contains its own centraliser. This is interesting because gives a representation of L as a subalgebra of the derivation algebra of its nilradical with kernel equal to the…
We show that there is a consistent polynomial quantization of the coordinate ring of a basic nilpotent coadjoint orbit of a semisimple Lie group. We also show, at least in the case of a nilpotent orbit in sl(2,R)*, that any such…
In this paper, we study certain ad-nilpotent subalgebras contained in the non-zero graded portion of a simple Z_n-graded Lie algebra. These subalgebras respect the grading on the Lie algebra and are modules for a Borel subalgebra for the…
Parabolic subalgebras $\frak{p}$ of semisimple Lie algebras define a $\Bbb{Z}$-grading of the Lie algebra. If there exists a nilpotent element in the first graded part of $\frak{g}$ on which the adjoint group of $\frak{p}$ acts with a dense…
We give a self contained and elementary description of normal forms for symplectic matrices, based on geometrical considerations. The normal forms in question are expressed in terms of elementary Jordan matrices and integers with values in…
For a natural number $m$, a Lie algebra $L$ over a field $k$ is said to be of breadth type $(0, m)$ if the co-dimension of the centralizer of every non-central element is of dimension $m$. In this article, we classify finite dimensional…
In this article we classify all infinitesimal Hecke algebras of so_N. We establish isomorphism of their universal versions and the W-algebras of so_{N+2m+1} with a 1-block nilpotent element of the Jordan type (1,...,1,2m+1). This should be…
The normal form for an n-dimensional map with irreducible nilpotent linear part is determined using sl2-representation theory. We sketch by example how the reducible case can also be treated in an algorithmic manner. The construction (and…
The theory of versal normal form has been playing a role in normal form since the introduction of the concept by V.I. Arnol'd. But there has been no systematic use of it that is in line with the semidirect character of the group of formal…
We study the finite W-superalgebra $W_e$ associated to a nilpotent element $e$ in a general linear Lie superalgebra. Under certain restriction on the Jordan type of $e$, we give a realization of $W_e$ in terms of a quotient of a shifted…
We formulate and prove that there are "abundant" in nilpotent orbits in real semisimple Lie algebras, in the following sense. If S denotes the collection of hyperbolic elements corresponding the weighted Dynkin diagrams coming from…
Around 1980 commutator theory was generalized from groups to arbitrary algebras using the socalled term condition commutator. The semigroups that are abelian with respect to this commutator were classified by Warne (1994). We study what…
In this paper, we describe actions of standard generators on certain bases of simple modules for semisimple cyclotomic Hecke-Clifford superalgebras. As applications, we explicitly construct a complete set of primitive idempotents and…
We develop a general theory of $W$-algebras in the context of supersymmetric vertex algebras. We describe the structure of $W$-algebras associated with odd nilpotent elements of Lie superalgebras in terms of their free generating sets. As…
We determine subnormalisers of semisimple elements of prime power order in finite quasi-simple groups of Lie type. For this, we determine the maximal overgroups of normalisers of Sylow tori. This is motivated by the recent character…
We compute the weights of the adjoint action of semiregular $sl_2$-triples in simple Lie algebras of type $D_n$ using mathematical induction.
In analogy to the theory of nilpotent orbit in finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebras, it is known that the principal $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ subalgebras can be constructed in hyperbolic Kac-Moody Lie algebras. We obtained a series of…
Let $N$ be a nilpotent matrix and consider vector fields $\dot\bx=N\bx+\bv(\bx)$ in normal form. Then $\bv$ is equivariant under the flow $e^{N^*t}$ for the inner product normal form or $e^{Mt}$ for the $\ssl_2$ normal form. These vector…
