In this paper, we investigate nilpotent Lie algebras $ L $ of nilpotency class $3 $ and provide a complete classification of those satisfying $ \dim L^2 = 3 $ and $Z(L) = L^3 \cong A(2). $ Furthermore, we explicitly characterize the…

Nilpotent Lie groups with left-invariant metrics provide non-trivial examples of Ricci solitons. One typical example is given by the class of two-step nilpotent Lie algebras obtained from simple directed graphs. In this paper, however, we…

We initiate a study on a range of new generalized derivations of finite-dimensional Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. This new generalization of derivations has an analogue in the theory of associative…

The notion of $n$-ary algebras, that is vector spaces with a multiplication concerning $n$-arguments, $n \geq 3$, became fundamental since the works of Nambu. Here we first present general notions concerning $n$-ary algebras and associative…

Mutually unbiased bases of a Hilbert space can be constructed by partitioning a unitary error basis. We consider this construction when the unitary error basis is a nice error basis. We show that the number of resulting mutually unbiased…

After recalling the notion of Lie algebroid, we construct these structures associated with contact forms or systems. We are then interested in particular classes of Lie Rinehart algebras.

We consider the question of whether a given solvable Lie group admits a left-invariant metric of strictly negative Ricci curvature. We give necessary and sufficient conditions of the existence of such a metric for the Lie groups the…

In the first section we recall some basic notions on Lie algebras. In a second time we study the algebraic variety of complex $n$-dimensional Lie algebras. We present different notions of deformations : Gerstenhaber deformations,…

Claude Chevalley provided a basis for a {finite dimensional} simple complex Lie algebra called the Chevalley basis. This basis has the distinguishing property that all the structure constants are integers. Chevalley groups, which are…

We propose the study and description of the structure of complex Lie algebras with nilradical a nilpotent Lie algebra of type 2 by using sl2(C)-representation theory. Our results will be applied to review the classification given in [1] (J.…

We thoroughly explore the class of k-step nilpotent Lie algebras associated with a simple graph looking for k-step nilpotent Lie algebras which are rigid in the variety of at most k-step nilpotent Lie algebras. We find out that, besides the…

Associated to a symmetric space there is a canonical connection with zero torsion and parallel curvature. This connection acts as a binary operator on the vector space of smooth sections of the tangent bundle, and it is linear with respect…

A real Lie algebra defines by extension of scalars a complex Lie algebra that is isomorphic to its Galois conjugate. In this paper, we are interested in the converse property: given a complex Lie algebra that is isomorphic to its conjugate,…
