We present an overview of characteristic identities for Lie algebras and superalgebras. We outline methods that employ these characteristic identities to deduce matrix elements of finite dimensional representations. To demonstrate the…
The purpose of this paper is to show how central extensions of (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie algebras integrate to central extensions of \'etale Lie 2-groups. In finite dimensions, central extensions of Lie algebras integrate to…
In this paper, we first introduce the concept of symmetric biderivation radicals and characteristic subalgebras of Lie algebras, and study their properties. Based on these results, we precisely determine biderivations of some Lie algebras…
This paper concerns the problem of classifying finite-dimensional real solvable Lie algebras whose derived algebras are of codimension 1 or 2. On the one hand, we present an effective method to classify all $(n+1)$-dimensional real solvable…
$F-$Lie algebras are natural generalisations of Lie algebras (F=1) and Lie superalgebras (F=2). When $F>2$ not many finite-dimensional examples are known. In this paper we construct finite-dimensional $F-$Lie algebras $F>2$ by an inductive…
We present the results of computation of cohomology for some Lie (super)algebras of Hamiltonian vector fields and related algebras. At present, the full cohomology rings for these algebras are not known even for the low dimensional vector…
The notion of hidden symmetry algebra used in the context of exactly solvable systems is re-examined from the purely algebraic way, analyzing subspaces of commuting polynomials that generate finite-dimensional quadratic algebras. By…
In this paper, we give algorithms for determining the existence of isomorphism between two finite-dimensional Lie algebras and compute such an isomorphism in the affirrmative case. We also provide algorithms for determining algebraic…
In this expository article, we describe the classification of the subalgebras of the rank 2 semisimple Lie algebras. Their semisimple subalgebras are well-known, and in a recent series of papers, we completed the classification of the…
Recently one of the authors obtained a classification of simple infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras of vector fields which extends the well-known classification of E. Cartan in the Lie algebra case. The list consists of many series…
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…
Over algebraically closed fields of characteristic p>2, prolongations of the simple finite dimensional Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras with Cartan matrix are studied for certain simplest gradings of these algebras. Several new simple Lie…
Using a new powerful technique based on the notion of megaideal, we construct a complete set of inequivalent realizations of real Lie algebras of dimension no greater than four in vector fields on a space of an arbitrary (finite) number of…
We reprove the results of Jordan [18] and Siebert [31] and show that the Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields on an irreducible affine variety X is simple if and only if X is a smooth variety. Given proof is self-contained and does not…
Computation of homology or cohomology is intrinsically a problem of high combinatorial complexity. Recently we proposed a new efficient algorithm for computing cohomologies of Lie algebras and superalgebras. This algorithm is based on…
For any finitely generated abelian group $Q$, we reduce the problem of classification of $Q$-graded simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of "good" characteristic to the problem of classification of gradings on simple Lie…
The paper is devoted to the complete classification of all real Lie algebras of contact vector fields on the first jet space of one-dimensional submanifolds in the plane. This completes Sophus Lie's classification of all possible Lie…
A novel method of determining which Dynkin diagrams represent simple finite-dimensional Lie algebras over $\mathbb{C}$ is presented. It is based on a condition that is both necessary and sufficient for a suitably defined Cartan matrix to be…
For every field $F$ which has a quadratic extension $E$ we show there are non-metabelian infinite-dimensional thin graded Lie algebras all of whose homogeneous components, except the second one, have dimension $2$. We construct such Lie…
We say that an indecomposable Cartan matrix A with entries in the ground field of characteristic 0 is almost affine if the Lie sub(super)algebra determined by it is not finite dimensional or affine but the Lie (super)algebra determined by…
