The paper naturally continues series of works on identical relations of group rings, enveloping algebras, and other related algebraic structures. Let $L$ be a Lie algebra over a field of characteristic $p>0$. Consider its symmetric algebra…
This paper studies the canonical symmetric connection $\nabla$ associated to any Lie group $G$. The salient properties of $\nabla$ are stated and proved. The Lie symmetries of the geodesic system of a general linear connection are…
We make several observations relating the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_2 \subset \mathfrak{so}(7)$, associative $3$-planes, and $\mathfrak{so}(4)$ subalgebras. Some are likely well-known but not easy to find in the literature, while other…
Of four types of Kaplansky algebras, type-2 and type-4 algebras have previously unobserved $\mathbb{Z}/2$-gradings: nonlinear in roots. A method assigning a simple Lie superalgebra to every $\mathbb{Z}/2$-graded simple Lie algebra in…
Motivated by the recent proposal of an N=8 supersymmetric action for multiple M2-branes, we study the Lie 3-algebra in detail. In particular, we focus on the fundamental identity and the relation with Nambu-Poisson bracket. Some new…
We construct natural relative compactifications for the relative Jacobian over a family $X/S$ of reduced curves. In contrast with all the available compactifications so far, ours admit a universal sheaf, after an etale base change. Our…
I. Penkov and V. Serganova have recently introduced, for any non-degenerate pairing $W\otimes V\to\mathbb C$ of vector spaces, the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}^M=\mathfrak{gl}^M(V,W)$ consisting of endomorphisms of $V$ whose duals preserve…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra and $\textrm{HLie}_{m}(\mathfrak{g})$ be the affine variety of all multiplicative Hom-Lie algebras on $\mathfrak{g}$. We use a method of computational ideal theory to describe…
Invariants of the coadjoint representation of two classes of Lie algebras are calculated. The first class consists of the nilpotent Lie algebras $T(M)$, isomorphic to the algebras of upper triangular $M\times M$ matrices. The Lie algebra…
In this paper we show that the homology of a certain natural compactification of the moduli space, introduced by Kontsevich in his study of Witten's conjectures, can be described completely algebraically as the homology of a certain…
We study the abelianization of Kontsevich's Lie algebra associated with the Lie operad and some related problems. Calculating the abelianization is a long-standing unsolved problem, which is important in at least two different contexts:…
A complete classification of a class of $3$-dimensional algebras is provided. In algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ case this class is an open, dense (in Zariski topology) subset of $\mathbb{F}^{27}$.
It is shown that any Lie affgebra, that is an algebraic system consisting of an affine space together with a bi-affine bracket satisfying affine versions of the antisymmetry and Jacobi identity, is isomorphic to a Lie algebra together with…
We describe degenerations of four-dimensional binary Lie algebras, and five- and six-dimensional nilpotent Malcev algebras over \mathbb{C}. In particular, we describe all irreducible components of these varieties.
On a real ($\mathbb F=\mathbb R$) or complex ($\mathbb F=\mathbb C$) analytic connected 2-manifold $M$ with empty boundary consider two vector fields $X,Y$. We say that $Y$ {\it tracks} $X$ if $[Y,X]=fX$ for some continuous function…
We describe a construction of an algebra over the field of order 2 starting from a conjugacy class of 3-transpositions in a group. In particular, we determine which simple Lie algebras arise by this construction. Among other things, this…
A classical theorem of Veldkamp describes the center of an enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra of a semi-simple algebraic group in characteristic $p.$ We generalize this result to a class of Lie algebras with a property that they arise as…
We simplify and generalize an argument due to Bowcock and Watts showing that one can associate a finite Lie algebra (the `classical vacuum preserving algebra') containing the M\"obius $sl(2)$ subalgebra to any classical $\W$-algebra. Our…
Given any K\"ahler manifold $X$, Kapranov discovered an $L_\infty[1]$ algebra structure on $\Omega^{0,\bullet}_X(T^{1,0}_X)$. Motivated by this result, we introduce, as a generalization of $L_\infty[1]$ algebras, a notion of $L_\infty[1]$…
The aim of this work is to generalize a very important type of Lie algebras and superalgebras, i.e. filiform Lie (super)algebras, into the theory of Lie algebras of order F$. Thus, the concept of filiform Lie algebras of order F is…
