Semisimple Lie algebras have been completely classified by Cartan and Killing. The Levi theorem states that every finite dimensional Lie algebra is isomorphic to a semidirect sum of its largest solvable ideal and a semisimple Lie algebra.…

A module $M$ is {called} stable if it has no nonzero projective direct summand. For a ring $ R $, we study conditions under which $R$-modules from certain classes decompose as a direct sum of a projective submodule and a stable submodule.…

Given a finite-dimensional module, $V$, for a finite-dimensional, complex, semi-simple Lie algebra $\lie g$ and a positive integer $m$, we construct a family of graded modules for the current algebra $\lie g[t]$ indexed by simple $\CC\lie…

In this paper we prove that every irreducible representation of a Leibniz algebra can be obtained from irreducible representations of the semisimple Lie algebra from the Levi decomposition. We also prove that - in general - for (semi)simple…

Given a group $G$ and $V$ a representation of $G$, denote the number of indecomposable summands of $V^{\otimes k}$ by $b_k^{G, V}$. Given a tilting representation $T$ of $\text{SL}_2(K)$ where $K=\overline{K}$ and of characteristic $p>2$,…

For a prime p and natural number n with p greater than or equal to n, we establish the existence of a non-functorial one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of groups of order p^n whose derived subgroup has exponent dividing…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring that is free of rank $k$ as an abelian group, $p$ a prime, and $SL(n,R)$ the special linear group. We show that the Lie algebra associated to the filtration of $SL(n,R)$ by $p$-congruence subgroups is…

Let L be a Lie pseudoalgebra, a in L. We show that, if a generates a (finite) solvable subalgebra S=<a>, then one may find a lifting a' in S of [a] in S/S' such that <a'> is nilpotent. We then apply this result towards vertex algebras: we…

We study relatively free associative algebras $F^{(n)}_r$ of ranks $r=2,3$ with the identity $[x_1,\dots, x_n]=0$ of Lie nilpotency of step $n\geqslant 3$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $\neq 2,3$. First we prove a Theorem on the…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and $V$ a finite-dimensional representation of $G$. Costello-Gaiotto studied a graded Lie algebra $\mathfrak{d}_{\mathfrak{g}, V}$ and the associated affine Kac-Moody…

One of the algebraic structures that has emerged recently in the study of the operator product expansions of chiral fields in conformal field theory is that of a Lie conformal algebra. A Lie pseudoalgebra is a generalization of the notion…

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…

Exploiting particular features of classical groups, simple constructions are given for the irreducible constituents of the tensor square of the adjoint modules and the leading terms in higher tensor powers. This provides an independent…

Dave Benson conjectured in 2020 that if $G$ is a finite $2$-group and $V$ is an odd-dimensional indecomposable representation of $G$ over an algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic $2$, then the only odd-dimensional…

Let g be an affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra and let $\lambda, \mu$ be two dominant integral weights for g. We prove that under some mild restriction, for any positive root $\beta$, $V(\lambda)\otimes V(\mu)$ contains $V(\lambda+\mu-\beta)$ as…
