If a Lie algebra structures $\gG$ on a vector space is the sum of a family of mutually compatible Lie algebra structures $\gG_i$, we say that $\gG$ is \emph{simply assembled} from $\gG_s$'s. By repeating this procedure several times one…

As an associative algebra, the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra $\mathcal{H}$ is generated by two elements $A$, $B$ subject to the relation $AB-BA=1$. As a Lie algebra, however, where the usual commutator serves as Lie bracket, the elements $A$ and…

We study the structure of arbitrary split Leibniz superalgebras. We show that any of such superalgebras ${\frak L}$ is of the form ${\frak L} = {\mathcal U} + \sum_jI_j$ with ${\mathcal U}$ a subspace of an abelian (graded) subalgebra $H$…

A new structure, based on joining copies of a group by means of a \emph{twist}, has recently been considered to describe the brackets of the two exceptional real Lie algebras of type $G_2$ in a highly symmetric way. In this work we show…

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…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a Lie algebra, $E$ a vector space containing $\mathfrak{g}$ as a subspace. The paper is devoted to the \emph{extending structures problem} which asks for the classification of all Lie algebra structures on $E$ such…

For a perfect Lie algebra $\mathfrak{h}$ we classify all Lie algebras containing $\mathfrak{h}$ as a subalgebra of codimension $1$. The automorphism groups of such Lie algebras are fully determined as subgroups of the semidirect product…

For a field K and directed graph E, we analyze those elements of the Leavitt path algebra L_K(E) which lie in the commutator subspace [L_K(E), L_K(E)]. This analysis allows us to give easily computable necessary and sufficient conditions to…

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…

$k$-Para-K\"ahler Lie algebras are a generalization of para-K\"ahler Lie algebras $(k=1)$ and constitute a subclass of $k$-symplectic Lie algebras. In this paper, we show that the characterization of para-K\"ahler Lie algebras as left…

Let $\mathfrak g$ be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra. The symmetric algebra $\mathcal S(\mathfrak g)$ is equipped with the standard Lie-Poisson bracket. In this paper, we elaborate on a surprising observation that one naturally associates…

We study Lie bialgebra structures on \emph{flat metric Lie algebras}, that is, Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{g},\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle)$ whose associated left-invariant Riemannian metric on the simply connected Lie group $G$ has zero…

Rota--Baxter operators $R$ of weight $1$ on $\mathfrak{n}$ are in bijective correspondence to post-Lie algebra structures on pairs $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{n})$, where $\mathfrak{n}$ is complete. We use such Rota--Baxter operators to study…

In this work we state a result that relates the cohomology groups of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and a current Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathcal{S}$, by means of a short exact sequence -- similar to the universal coefficients…

For a symmetric Lie algebra $\mathfrak g=\mathfrak k\oplus\mathfrak p$ we consider a class of bilinear or more general control-affine systems on $\mathfrak p$ defined by a drift vector field $X$ and control vector fields $\mathrm{ad}_{k_i}$…

Let $G$ be a semisimple linear algebraic group over a field $k$ and let $G^+(k)$ be the subgroup generated by the subgroups $R_u(Q)(k)$, where $Q$ ranges over all the minimal $k$-parabolic subgroups $Q$ of $G$. We prove that if $G^+(k)$ is…

Let $A$ be an associative commutative algebra with $1$ over a field of zero characteristic, $\{,\} : A \times A \to A$ is a Poisson bracket, $Z = \{ a \in A \mid \{a, A\} = (0) \}.$ We prove that if $A$ is simple as a Poisson algebra then…

In this note we introduce the notion of $T^*-$extension $T^*{\mathfrak g}$ of a Lie superalgebra ${\mathfrak g}$, i.e. an extension of ${\mathfrak g}$ by its dual space ${\mathfrak g}^*$. The natural pairing induces on $T^*{\mathfrak g}$ an…

We study the Leibniz $n$-algebra $\textbf{U}_n(\mathfrak{L})$, whose multiplication is defined via the bracket of a Leibniz algebra $\mathfrak{L}$ as $[x_1,\dots,x_n]=[x_1,[\dots, [x_{n-2},[x_{n-1},x_n]]\dots]]$. We show that…
