We consider Lie algebras admitting an ad-invariant metric, and we study the problem of uniqueness of the ad-invariant metric up to automorphisms. This is a common feature in low dimensions, as one can observe in the known classification of…

In this work we find necessary and sufficient conditions for a free nilpotent or a free metabelian nilpotent Lie algebra to be endowed with an ad-invariant metric. For such nilpotent Lie algebras admitting an ad-invariant metric the…

In this paper we study the varieties of nilpotent Lie superalgebras of dimension $\leq 5$. We provide the algebraic classification of these superalgebras and obtain the irreducible components in every variety. As a by product we construct…

We construct all solvable Lie algebras with a specific n-dimensional nilradical n_(n,2) (of degree of nilpotency (n-1) and with an (n-2)-dimensional maximal Abelian ideal). We find that for given n such a solvable algebra is unique up to…

The invariants of all complex solvable rigid Lie algebras up to dimension eight are computed. Moreover we show, for rank one solvable algebras, some criteria to deduce to non-existence of non-trivial invariants or the existence of…

There are some results on nilpotent Lie algebras $ L $ investigate the structure of $ L $ rely on the study of its $2$-nilpotent multiplier. It is showed that the dimension of the $2$-nilpotent multiplier of $ L $ is equal to $ \frac{1}{3}…

We classify the nilpotent Lie algebras of real dimension eight and minimal center that admit a complex structure. Furthermore, for every such nilpotent Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we describe the space of complex structures on…

We prove a structure theorem for Lie n-algebras possessing an invariant inner product. We define the notion of a double extension of a metric Lie n-algebra by another Lie n-algebra and prove that all metric Lie n-algebras are obtained from…

The maximum extensions of finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras are considered. In particular, it is proved that in the general case such an extension is not unique, which refutes one L. Snoble's assumption.

We illustrate an algorithm to classify nice nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension $n$ up to a suitable notion of equivalence; applying the algorithm, we obtain complete listings for $n\leq9$. On every nilpotent Lie algebra of dimension $\leq…

We introduce two constructions to obtain left-invariant Ricci-flat pseudo-Riemannian metrics on nilpotent Lie groups, one based on gradings, the other on filtrations, both depending on the combinatorics of the set of weights. As an…

We classify nilpotent associative algebras of dimensions up to 4 over any field. This is done by constructing the nilpotent associative algebras as central extensions of algebras of smaller dimension, analogous to methods known for…

This paper studies how many orthogonal bi-invariant complex structures exist on a metric Lie algebra over the real numbers. Recently, it was shown that irreducible Lie algebras which are additionally $2$-step nilpotent admit at most one…

We study nilpotent Lie algebras endowed with a complex structure and a quadratic structure which is pseudo-Hermitian for the given complex structure. We propose several methods to construct such Lie algebras and describe a method of double…

We study codimension growth of infinite dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that if a Lie algebra $L$ is an extension of a nilpotent algebra by a finite dimensional semisimple algebra then the PI-exponent…

We state criteria for a nilpotent Lie algebra $\g$ to admit an invariant metric. We use that $\g$ possesses two canonical abelian ideals $\ide(\g) \subset \mathfrak{J}(\g)$ to decompose the underlying vector space of $\g$ and then we state…

In this thesis new objects to the existing set of invariants of Lie algebras are added. These invariant characteristics are capable of describing the nilpotent parametric continuum of Lie algebras. The properties of these invariants, in…

A Lie algebra $L$ is said to be of breadth $k$ if the maximal dimension of the images of left multiplication by elements of the algebra is $k$. In this paper we give characterization of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras of breadth…
