We prove that the Duflo-Serganova functor $DS_x$ attached to an odd nilpotent element $x$ of $\mathfrak{osp}(m|2n)$ is semisimple, i.e. sends a semisimple representation $M$ of $\mathfrak{osp}(m|2n)$ to a semisimple representation of…

In this note we show that for any powerful $p$-group $G$, the subgroup $\Omega_{i}(G^{p^{j}})$ is powerfully nilpotent for all $i,j\geq1$ when $p$ is an odd prime, and $i\geq1$, $j\geq2$ when $p=2$. We provide an example to show why this…

In this work we investigate the complex Leibniz superalgebras with characteristic sequence $(n_1,...,n_k|m)$ and nilindex n+m, where $n=n_1+...+n_k,$ n and m (m is not equal to zero) are dimensions of even and odd parts, respectively. Such…

We organize the nilpotent orbits in the exceptional complex Lie algebras into series using the triality model and show that within each series the dimension of the orbit is a linear function of the natural parameter a=1,2,4,8, respectively…

Using quantum differential operators, we construct a super representation of $U_v(\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n})$ on a certain polynomial superalgebra. We then extend the representation to its formal power series algebra which contains a…

We give a presentation for the finite W-algebra associated to a nilpotent matrix inside the general linear Lie algebra over C. In the special case that the nilpotent matrix consists of n Jordan blocks each of the same size l, the…

Let $\g$ be a finite dimensional Lie algebra over a field $k$ of characteristic zero. An element $x$ of $\g$ is said to have an \emph{abstract Jordan-Chevalley decomposition} if there exist unique $s,n\in\g$ such that $x=s+n$, $[s,n]=0$ and…

We consider the groups G which arise from real semisimple Jordan algebras via the Tits-Koecher-Kantor construction. Such a G is characterized by the fact that it admits a parabolic subgroup P=LN which is conjugate to its opposite, and for…

We show that semi-simple lie algebras can be characterized by their maximal nilpotent subalgebra, which is the same as the nilpotent radical of a Borel subalgebra.

To an arbitrary Lie superalgebra $L$ we associate its Jordan double ${\mathcal Jor}(L)$, which is a Jordan superalgebra. This notion was introduced by the second author before. Now we study further applications of this construction. First,…

The exceptional Jordan algebra is the algebra of $3\times 3$ Hermitian matrices with octonionic entries. It is the only one from Jordan's algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics which is not equivalent to the conventional formulation of…
