The theory of nilpotent orbits of simple Lie algebras has seen tremendous developments over the past decades. In this context an important role is played by the component group of the stabilizer of a nilpotent element. In this work, the aim…

Let $G$ be an adjoint algebraic group of type $B$, $C$, or $D$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We construct a Springer correspondence for the Lie algebra of $G$. In particular, for orthogonal Lie algebras in…

A solvable Lie algebra L has the property that its nilradical N contains its own centraliser. This is interesting because gives a representation of L as a subalgebra of the derivation algebra of its nilradical with kernel equal to the…

We check that the connected centralisers of nilpotent elements in the orthogonal and symplectic groups have Levi decompositions in even characteristic. This provides a justification for the identification of the isomorphism classes of the…

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…

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…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group acting on a complex vector space $V$ and projective space ${\mathbb P}V$. Let $x\in V$ and ${\cal H}\subseteq {\cal G}$ be the Lie algebra of its stabilizer. Our objective is to understand points…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional real or complex Lie algebra, and let $\mu \in \mathfrak{g}^{*}$. In the first part of the paper, the relation is discussed between the derived algebra of the stabilizer of $\mu$ and the set of…

The index of a Lie algebra is an important invariant which arises in several areas, e.g. in the study of coadjoint orbits for a Lie group, in invariant theory and in representation theory. We study the index for several classes of nilpotent…

Let $\mathcal{N}_{\mathfrak{g}^*}$ be the variety of nilpotent elements in the dual of the Lie algebra of a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field. In \cite{Lu2} Lusztig proposes a definition of a partition of…

We consider formal maps in any finite dimension $d$ with coefficients in an integral domain $K$ with identity. Those invertible under formal composition form a group $\mathcal{G}$. We consider the centraliser $C_g$ of an element…

This paper concerns the study of Leibniz algebras, a natural generalization of Lie algebras, from the perspective of centralizers of elements. We study conditions on Leibniz algebras under which centralizers of all elements are ideals. We…

For a reductive Lie algebra g, its nilpotent element f and its faithful finite dimensional representation, we construct a Lax operator L(z) with coefficients in the quantum finite W-algebra W(g,f). We show that for the classical linear Lie…

This paper is primarily concerned with studying finite-dimensional anti-commutative nonassociative algebras in which every centralizer is an ideal. These are shown to be anti-associative and are classified over a general field $F$; in…

A metric Lie algebra g is a Lie algebra equipped with an inner product. A subalgebra h of a metric Lie algebra g is said to be totally geodesic if the Lie subgroup corresponding to h is a totally geodesic submanifold relative to the…

Suppose that a locally finite group $G$ has a $2$-element $g$ with Chernikov centralizer. It is proved that if the involution in $\langle g\rangle$ has nilpotent centralizer, then $G$ has a soluble subgroup of finite index.

We study centralizers in certain algebras with valuation in order to generalize results by Hellstr\"{o}m and Silvestrov on centralizers in graded algebras. We prove that the centralizer of an element in the studied algebras is a free module…

We prove that any classical affine W-algebra W(g,f), where g is a classical Lie algebra and f is an arbitrary nilpotent element of g, carries an integrable Hamiltonian hierarchy of Lax type equations. This is based on the theories of…

A result of Barnea and Isaacs states that if $L$ is a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra with exactly two distinct centralizer dimensions, then nilpotency class of $L$ is either $2$ or $3$. In this article, we classify all such finite…

Let G be a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Assume that p is good for G. In this note we consider particular classes of connected reductive subgroups H of G and show…
