We study the existence of post-Lie algebra structures on pairs of Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{n})$, where one of the algebras is perfect non-semisimple, and the other one is abelian, nilpotent non-abelian, solvable non-nilpotent,…
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…
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…
We study post-Lie algebra structures on $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{n})$ for nilpotent Lie algebras. First we show that if $\mathfrak{g}$ is nilpotent such that $H^0(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{n})=0$, then also $\mathfrak{n}$ must be nilpotent, of…
We study post-Lie algebra structures on pairs of Lie algebras (g,n), and prove existence results for the case that one of the Lie algebras is semisimple. For semisimple g and solvable n we show that there exist no post-Lie algebra…
The notion of rigidity of Lie algebra is linked to the following problem: when does a Lie brackets $\mu$ on a vector space g satisfy that every Lie bracket $\mu_1$ sufficiently close to $\mu$ is of the form $\mu_1 = P.\mu $ for some P in…
We introduce post-associative algebra structures and study their relationship to post-Lie algebra structures, Rota--Baxter operators and decompositions of associative algebras and Lie algebras. We show several results on the existence of…
We give simple and unified proofs of the known stability and rigidity results for Lie algebras, Lie subalgebras and Lie algebra homomorphisms. Moreover, we investigate when a Lie algebra homomorphism is stable under all automorphisms of the…
We introduce post-Lie algebra structures on pairs of Lie algebras $(\Lg,\Ln)$ defined on a fixed vector space $V$. Special cases are LR-structures and pre-Lie algebra structures on Lie algebras. We show that post-Lie algebra structures…
We study {\em disemisimple} Lie algebras, i.e., Lie algebras which can be written as a vector space sum of two semisimple subalgebras. We show that a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is disemisimple if and only if its solvable radical coincides…
From a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ satisfying $\mathcal{Z}(\mathfrak{g})=0$ and $\Lambda^2(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{g}=0$ (in particular, for $\g$ semisimple) we describe explicitly all Lie bialgebra structures on extensions of the form…
A current Lie algebra is contructed from a tensor product of a Lie algebra and a commutative associative algebra of dimension greater than 2. In this work we are interested in deformations of such algebras and in the problem of rigidity. In…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive linear algebraic group over a field $k$. Using ideas from geometric invariant theory, we study the notion of $G$-complete reducibility over $k$ for a Lie subalgebra $\mathfrak h$ of the Lie algebra…
We call a finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ strongly rigid if its universal enveloping algebra $\Ug$ is rigid as an associative algebra, i.e. every formal associative deformation is equivalent to the trivial deformation.…
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…
A study is made of real Lie algebras admitting compatible complex and product structures, including numerous 4-dimensional examples. If g is a Lie algebra with such a structure then its complexification has a hypercomplex structure. It is…
We introduce in this paper the contractions $\mathfrak{G}_c$ of $n$-Lie (or Filippov) algebras $\mathfrak{G}$ and show that they have a semidirect structure as their $n=2$ Lie algebra counterparts. As an example, we compute the non-trivial…
Seaweed (biparabolic) subalgebras form a large and structurally rich class of subalgebras of simple Lie algebras. We determine their adjoint cohomology. If $\mathfrak{s}$ is an indecomposable seaweed subalgebra of a complex simple Lie…
We prove that if the 0-th Tanaka prolongation $\mathfrak{g}_0=\mathfrak{der}_0(\mathfrak{m})$ of a fundamental graded nilpotent Lie algebra $\mathfrak{m}=\mathfrak{g}_{-s}\oplus\dots\oplus\mathfrak{g}_{-1}$ is irreducible on…
We investigate the existence of left-invariant closed G$_2$-structures on seven-dimensional non-solvable Lie groups, providing the first examples of this type. When the Lie algebra has trivial Levi decomposition, we show that such a…
