A classical theorem of Veldkamp describes the center of an enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra of a semi-simple algebraic group in characteristic $p.$ We generalize this result to a class of Lie algebras with a property that they arise as…

If $\mathfrak{g}$ is a Lie algebra then the semi-centre of the Poisson algebra $S(\mathfrak{g})$ is the subalgebra generated by ad$(\mathfrak{g})$-eigenvectors. In this paper we abstract this definition to the context of integral Poisson…

This paper is concerned with generalising the results for Lie $CT$-algebras to Leibniz algebras. In some cases our results give a generalisation even for the case of a Lie algebra. Results on $A$-algebras are used to show every Leibniz…

In this thesis we discuss some properties of centralisers in classical Lie algebas and related structures. Our results follow three distinct but related themes: the modular representation theory of centralisers, the sheets of simple Lie…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$ and let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over $k$. Under some standard hypothesis on $G$, we give a direct approach to the finite $W$-algebra $U(\mathfrak g,e)$…

In this paper we determine the precise extent to which the classical sl_2-theory of complex semisimple finite-dimensional Lie algebras due to Jacobson--Morozov and Kostant can be extended to positive characteristic. This builds on work of…

Let $G$ be a finite group. A coprime commutator in $G$ is any element that can be written as a commutator $[x,y]$ for suitable $x,y\in G$ such that $\pi(x)\cap\pi(y)=\emptyset$. Here $\pi(g)$ denotes the set of prime divisors of the order…

For a natural number $m$, a Lie algebra $L$ over a field $k$ is said to be of breadth type $(0, m)$ if the co-dimension of the centralizer of every non-central element is of dimension $m$. In this article, we classify finite dimensional…
