Let $G$ be a connected closed subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ which is simple as a Lie group and which acts irreducibly on $\mathbb{C}^n$. Regarding both $G$ and its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ as subsets of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$, we…

We construct an explicit bundle with flat connection on the configuration space of n points of a complex curve. This enables one to recover the `formality' isomorphism between the Lie algebra of the prounipotent completion of the pure braid…

This work was inspired by two natural questions. The first question is when Lie(G')=Lie(G)', where G is a connected algebraic supergroup defined over a field of characteristic zero. The second question is whether the unipotent radical of…

Given a Lie algebra \s, we call Lie \s-algebra a Lie algebra endowed with a reductive action of \s. We characterize the minimal \s-Lie algebras with a nontrivial action of \s, in terms of irreducible representations of \s and invariant…

We consider canonical symplectic structure on the moduli space of flat ${\g}$-connections on a Riemann surface of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points. For ${\g}$ being a semisimple Lie algebra we obtain an explicit efficient formula for this…

We study surjective homomorphisms f:\prod_I A_i\to B of not-necessarily-associative algebras over a commutative ring k, for I a generally infinite set; especially when k is a field and B is countable-dimensional over k. Our results have the…

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…

The PostLie algebra is an enriched structure of the Lie algebra that has recently arisen from operadic study. It is closely related to pre-Lie algebra, Rota-Baxter algebra, dendriform trialgebra, modified classical Yang-Baxter equations and…

The purpose of this note is to discuss a few lines appearing in the work of late Fantappi\`e. They concern the proof of rigidity of a specific real semisimple Lie algebra: ${\mathfrak O}(4,1)$. Our intention is to discuss to what extent…

The problem of non-solvable contractions of Lie algebras is analyzed. By means of a stability theorem, the problem is shown to be deeply related to the embeddings among semisimple Lie algebras and the resulting branching rules for…

Using a almost product structure defined by a spray, we give a necessary and sufficient condition, for a linear connection with vanishing torsion to be Riemannian and, for the semi-simplicity of Lie algebra of projectable vector fields…

A Lie (super)algebra with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form $B$ is called a nis-(super)algebra. The double extension $\mathfrak{g}$ of a nis-(super)algebra $\mathfrak{a}$ is the result of simultaneous adding to…

We prove that each real semisimple Lie algebra G has a Q-form, such that every real representation of G can be realized over the rational numbers Q. This was previously proved by M.S.Raghunathan (and rediscovered by P.Eberlein) in the…

We study Lie algebras endowed with an abelian complex structure which admit a symplectic form compatible with the complex structure. We prove that each of those Lie algebras is completely determined by a pair (U,H) where U is a complex…

We show that a solvable real rigid Lie algebra is not completelt rigid, by constructing an example of minimal dimension where the external torus is not spanned by $ad$-semisimple derivations over $\mathbb{R}$. We analyze the real forms of…

In this paper some results on the Lie structure of prime superalgebras are discussed. We prove that, with the exception of some special cases, for a prime superalgebra, $A$, over a ring of scalars $\Phi$ with $1/2\in \Phi$, if $L$ is a Lie…

In previous work by El Kacimi Alaoui-Guasp-Nicolau, a cohomological criterion is given for a Lie $\mathfrak{g}$-foliation on a compact manifold to be rigid among nearby Lie foliations. Our aim is to look for examples of this rigidity…

A finite-dimensional Lie algebra is called (symmetric) self-dual, if it possesses an invariant nondegenerate (symmetric) bilinear form. Symmetric self-dual Lie algebras have been studied by Medina and Revoy, who have proven a very useful…

We prove strong and explicit diameter bounds for finite simple Lie algebras, which parallel Babai's conjecture for finite simple groups. Specifically, we show that any nonabelian finite simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over $\mathbf{F}_p$…
