Semisimple Lie algebras have been completely classified by Cartan and Killing. The Levi theorem states that every finite dimensional Lie algebra is isomorphic to a semidirect sum of its largest solvable ideal and a semisimple Lie algebra.…
From the Levi's Theorem it is known that every finite dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero is decomposed into semidirect sum of solvable radical and semisimple subalgebra. Moreover, semisimple part is the direct sum…
We classify all uniserial modules of the solvable Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}=\langle x\rangle \ltimes V$, where $V$ is an abelian Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and $x$ is an arbitrary automorphism of $V$.
Let G be a connected semisimple algebraic group over $k$, with Lie algebra $\g$. Let $\h$ be a subalgebra of $\g$. A simple finite-dimensional $\g$-module V is said to be $\h$-indecomposable if it cannot be written as a direct sum of two…
Let $M$ be a simply connected pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous space of finite volume with isometry group $G$. We show that $M$ is compact and that the solvable radical of $G$ is abelian and the Levi factor is a compact semisimple Lie group…
Levi's theorem decomposes any arbitrary Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero, as a direct sum of a semisimple Lie algebra (named Levi factor) and its solvable radical. Given a solvable Lie algebra $R$, a semisimple Lie algebra…
We study post-Lie algebra structures on pairs of Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{n})$, motivated by nil-affine actions of Lie groups. We prove existence results for such structures depending on the interplay of the algebraic…
Let $\mathfrak{s}$ $\ltimes$ $\mathfrak{r}$ be a Levi decomposable Lie algebra, with Levi factor $\mathfrak{s}$, and radical $\mathfrak{r}$. A module $V$ of $\mathfrak{s}$ $\ltimes$ $\mathfrak{r}$ is cyclic indecomposable if it is…
A subalgebra of a semisimple Lie algebra is wide if every simple module of the semisimple Lie algebra remains indecomposable when restricted to the subalgebra. A subalgebra is narrow if the restrictions of all non-trivial simple modules to…
In this article we investigate the question of the lowest possible dimension that a sympathetic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ can attain, when its Levi subalgebra $\mathfrak{g}_L$ is simple. We establish the structure of the nilradical of a…
We show that semi-simple lie algebras can be characterized by their maximal nilpotent subalgebra, which is the same as the nilpotent radical of a Borel subalgebra.
We study rigidity questions for pairs of Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{n})$ admitting a post-Lie algebra structure. We show that if $\mathfrak{g}$ is semisimple and $\mathfrak{n}$ is arbitrary, then we have rigidity in the sense…
We study gradings by noncommutative groups on finite dimensional Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. It is shown that if $L$ is gradeg by a non-abelian finite group $G$ then the solvable radical $R$ of…
The author has previously shown that solvable Lie A-algebras and complemented solvable Lie algebras decompose as a vector space direct sum of abelian subalgebras, and their ideals relate nicely to this decomposition. However, neither of…
We consider the problem of constructing semisimple subalgebras of real (semi-) simple Lie algebras. We develop computational methods that help to deal with this problem. Our methods boil down to solving a set of polynomial equations. In…
In this paper a characterisation is given of solvable complemented Lie algebras. They decompose as a direct sum of abelian subalgebras and their ideals relate nicely to this decomposition. The class of such algebras is shown to be a…
Given a finite dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, let $\Gamma_\circ(\mathfrak{g})$ be the set of irreducible $\mathfrak{g}$-modules with non-vanishing cohomology. We prove that a $\mathfrak{g}$-module $V$ belongs to…
The main purpose of this paper is to study the finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebras described in its title, which we call {\em minimal non-${\mathcal N}$}. To facilitate this we investigate solvable Lie algebras of nilpotent length $k$,…
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 so called regular Lie algebras, i.e. Lie algebras in which each nonzero element is regular. We make a connection with an open problem whether any element of reduced trace zero in a simple associative algebra is a commutator.
