We provide a recursive classification of meander graphs, showing that each meander is identified by a unique sequence of fundamental graph-theoretic moves. This sequence is called the meander's signature. The signature not only provides a…
Let $\g$ be a simple Lie algebra of type A or C. We show that the coadjoint representation of any seaweed subalgebra of $\g$ has some properties similar to that of the adjoint representation of a reductive Lie algebra. Namely, a) the field…
We compute the index of a Lie Borel Lie Algbra of a simple Lie algebra.
A celebrated result of Gromov ensures the existence of a contact structure on any connected, non-compact, odd dimensional Lie group. In general, such structures are not invariant under left translation. The problem of finding which Lie…
This is a survey work on Lie algebras with ad-invariant metrics. We summarize main features, notions and constructions, in the aim of bringing into consideration the main research on the topic. We also give some list of examples in low…
Nongraded infinite-dimensional Lie algebras appeared naturally in the theory of Hamiltonian operators, the theory of vertex algebras and their multi-variable analogues. They play important roles in mathematical physics. This survey article…
In 2018 Coll, Mayers, and Mayers conjectured that the $q$-series $( q, -q^3; q^4 )_\infty^{-1}$ is the generating function for a certain parity statistic related to the index of seaweed algebras. We prove this conjecture. Thanks to earlier…
We characterize, in a purely algebraic manner, certain linear forms, called stable, on a Lie algebra. As an application, we determine the index of a Borel subalgebra of a semi-simple Lie algebra. Finally, we give an example of a parabolic…
We present a new method of analysis of associative algebras. This method bears a certain resemblance to the famous analysis of commutative $C^*$-algebras in which an important role is played by multiplicative functionals over the algebra.…
For a representation of a Lie algebra, one can construct a diagram of the representation, i. e. a directed graph with edges labeled by matrix elements of the representation. This article explains how to use these diagrams to describe normal…
We develop a graphical notation to introduce classical Lie algebras. Although this paper deals with well-known results, our pictorial point of view is slightly different to the traditional one. Our graphical notation is fairly elementary…
Results describing Lie ideals and maximal finite-codimensional Lie subalgebras of the Lie algebras associated with Lie algebroids with non-singular anchor maps are presented. It is also proved that every isomorphism of such Lie algebras…
In this article, we give a simple explicit construction of an affine slice for the coadjoint action of a certain class of biparabolic (also called seaweed) subalgebras of a semisimple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of…
We say that a finite dimensional Lie algebra is quasi-reductive if it has a linear form whose stabilizer for the coadjoint representation, modulo the center, is a reductive Lie algebra with a center consisting of semisimple elements.…
The coefficient algebra of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra on a finite-dimensional representation is defined as the subalgebra generated by all coefficients of the corresponding characteristic polynomial. We explore connections between…
A standard seaweed subalgebra of $A_{n-1}=\mathfrak{sl}(n)$ may be parametrized by a pair of compositions of the positive integer $n$. For all $n$ and certain $k(n)$, we provide closed-form formulas and the generating functions for $C(n,k)$…
The main objective of this project is to determine all irreducible modules of a given modular Lie algebra. In contrast to ordinary Lie algebras, modular Lie algebras require an additional structure known as the p-mapping. The minimal…
We give an algorithm for constructing the algebraic hull of a given matrix Lie algebra in characteristic zero. It is based on an algorithm for finding integral linear dependencies of the roots of a polynomial, that is probably of…
In this paper we prove several theorems about the behavior of index of Lie algebras derived from associative algebras under tensor products of underlying associative algebras.
The main purpose of this work is to develop the basic notions of the Lie theory for commutative algebras. We introduce a class of $\mathbbZ_2$-graded commutative but not associative algebras that we call ``Lie antialgebras''. These algebras…
