We give an example of a locally nilpotent group $G$ containing a left $3$-Engel element $x$ where $\langle x\rangle^{G}$ is not nilpotent.

We prove nilpotency results for Lie algebras over an arbitrary field admitting a derivation, which satisfies a given polynomial identity $r(t)=0$. For the polynomial $r=t^n-1$ we obtain results on the nilpotency of Lie algebras admitting a…

A (vector space) basis B of a Lie algebra is said to be very nilpotent if all the iterated brackets of elements of B are nilpotent. In this note, we prove a refinement of Engel's Theorem. We show that a Lie algebra has a very nilpotent…

We classify the (n-5)-filiform Lie algebras which have the additional property of a non-abelian derived subalgebra. We show that this property is strongly related with the structure of the Lie algebra of derivations; explicitely we show…

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…

First we describe the Skjelbred-Sund method for classifying nilpotent Lie algebras. Then we use it to classify 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras over any field of characteristic not 2. The proof of this classification is essentially…

The algebras of the title are infinite-dimensional graded Lie algebras $L= \bigoplus_{i=1}^{\infty}L_i$, over a field of positive characteristic $p$, that are generated by an element of degree $1$ and an element of degree $p$, and satisfy…

In this paper we study the varieties of nilpotent Lie superalgebras of dimension $\leq 5$. We provide the algebraic classification of these superalgebras and obtain the irreducible components in every variety. As a by product we construct…

Let $KG$ be the modular group algebra of an arbitrary group $G$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$. It is seen that if $KG$ is Lie nilpotent, then its lower as well as upper Lie nilpotency index is at least $p+1$. The classification…

In this paper, we classify (n+5)-dimensional nilpotent n-Lie algebras of class two over the arbitrary field, when $n\ge 3$.

We give formulas for the number of ad-nilpotent ideals of a Borel subalgebra of a Lie algebra of type B or D containing a fixed number of root spaces attached to simple roots. This result solves positively a conjecture of Panyushev (cf. D.…

The main theorem in this article shows that a group of odd order which admits the alternating group of degree 5 with an element of order 5 acting fixed point freely is nilpotent of class at most two. For all odd primes r, other than 5, we…

In this paper we study powerful 3-Engel groups. In particular, we find sharp upper bounds for the nilpotency class of powerful 3-Engel groups and the subclass of powerful metabelian 3-Engel groups.

In this paper we study the isomorphism problem for the universal enveloping algebras of nilpotent Lie algebras. We prove that if the characteristic of the underlying field is not~2 or~3, then the isomorphism type of a nilpotent Lie algebra…

A Lie algebra $L$ is said to be of breadth $k$ if the maximal dimension of the images of left multiplication by elements of the algebra is $k$. In this paper we give characterization of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras of breadth…

Let $G$ be a profinite group in which for every element $x\in G$ there exists a natural number $q=q(x)$ such that $x^q$ is Engel. We show that $G$ is locally virtually nilpotent. Further, let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a finitely generated…

In this paper, we introduce near perfect ideals and upper bounded ideals, and study them as well as perfect ideals for finite dimensional Lie algebras. We show that the largest perfect ideal and the largest near perfect ideal of a finite…

We classify the nilpotent Lie rings of order $p^8$ with maximal class for $p \ge 5$. This also provides a classification of the groups of order $p^8$ with maximal class for $p \ge 11$ via the Lazard correspondence.

Let G be a nilpotent p-valuable (compact p-adic Lie) group. There is an ongoing investigation into the prime ideals of its completed group algebra (Iwasawa algebra), and there remains an open conjecture that they can all be proved to have a…
