Here we prove that a commuting variety associated with a symmetric pair (g, g_0) is irreducible for (so_{n+m}, so_n + so_m) and reducible for (gl_{n+m}, {gl}_n + gl_m) with n>m, (so_{2n}, gl_n) with odd n, (E_6, {so}_{10} + k).
In this paper we classify and give Kazhdan-Lusztig type character formulas for equivariantly irreducible representations of Lie algebras of reductive algebraic groups over a field of large positive characteristic. The equivariance is with…
We present a generalization of bilateral weighted shift operators for the noncommutative multivariable setting. We discover a notion of periodicity for these shifts, which has an appealing diagramatic interpretation in terms of an infinite…
We construct embeddings $\mathcal{Y}_{n,\tau} \to {Hilb}^n (\Sigma_{\tau})$ for each of the classical Lie algebras $\ger{sp}_{2m}(\Cc)$, $\ger{so}_{2m}(\Cc)$, and $\ger{so}_{2m+1}(\Cc)$. The space $\mathcal{Y}_{n,\tau}$ is the fiber over a…
An equivalent condition for an element of a Lie algebra acting nilpotently in all its representations is obtained. Namely, it should belong to the derived algebra and go via factoring over the radical to a nilpotent element of the…
We determine normal forms of the multiplication of four-dimensional anti-commutative algebras over a field $\mathbb K$ of characteristic zero having an analogous family of flags of subalgebras as the four-dimensional non-Lie binary Lie…
I give a proof of Zel'manov's theorem that if $L$ is an $n$-Engel Lie algebra over a field $F$ of characteristic zero then $L$ is (globally) nilpotent. This is a very important result which extends Kostrikin's theorem that $L$ is locally…
The generalized commuting and isospectral commuting varieties of a reductive Lie algebra have been introduced in a preceding article. In this note, it is proved that their normalizations are Gorenstein with rational singularities. Moreover,…
Transitive local Lie algebras of vector fields can be easily constructed from dilations of $\mathbb{R}^n$ associating with coordinates positive weights (give me a sequence of $n$ positive integers and I will give you a transitive nilpotent…
We present a non-standard proof of the fact that the existence of a local (i.e. restricted to a point) characteristic-zero, semi-parametric lifting for a variety defined by the zero locus of polynomial equations over the integers is…
A class of representations of a Lie superalgebra (over a commutative superring) in its symmetric algebra is studied. As an application we get a direct and natural proof of a strong form of the Poincare'-Birkhoff-Witt theorem, extending this…
We described all transposed Poisson algebra structures on oscillator Lie algebras, i.e., on one-dimensional solvable extensions of the $(2n+1)$-dimensional Heisenberg algebra; on solvable Lie algebras with naturally graded filiform…
We state criteria for a nilpotent Lie algebra $\g$ to admit an invariant metric. We use that $\g$ possesses two canonical abelian ideals $\ide(\g) \subset \mathfrak{J}(\g)$ to decompose the underlying vector space of $\g$ and then we state…
Let G be a Lie group over a local field of positive characteristic which admits a contractive automorphism f (i.e., the forward iterates f^n(x) of each group element x converge to the neutral element 1). We show that then G is a torsion…
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…
The concept of breadth has been used in the classification of p-groups and nilpotent Lie algebras. In this paper, we investigate this notion for finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebras. Our main focus is to characterize solvable Lie…
Given any finite quiver, we consider a complete flag of vector spaces over each vertex. Consider the unipotent invariant subalgebra of the coordinate ring of the filtered quiver representation subspace. We prove that the dimension of the…
In this paper we study non-nilpotent non-Lie Leibniz $\mathbb{F}$-algebras with one-dimensional derived subalgebra, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a field with $\operatorname{char}(\mathbb{F}) \neq 2$. We prove that such an algebra is isomorphic to…
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…
We establish a general CCR (liminarity) property for uniformly bounded irreducible representations of nilpotent Lie groups on reflexive Banach spaces, extending the well known property of unitary irreducible representations of these groups…
