In this paper, we mainly study some properties of elementary n-Lie algebras, and prove some necessary and sufficient conditions for elementary n-Lie algebras, we also give the relations between elementary n-algebras and E-algebras.

Nongraded infinite-dimensional Lie algebras appeared naturally in the theory of Hamiltonian operators, the theory of vertex algebras and their multi-variable analogues. They play important roles in mathematical physics. This survey article…

We introduce the notion of $\lambda$-double Lie algebra, which coincides with usual double Lie algebra when $\lambda = 0$. We state that every $\lambda$-double Lie algebra for $\lambda\neq0$ provides the structure of modified double Poisson…

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…

From a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ satisfying $\mathcal{Z}(\mathfrak{g})=0$ and $\Lambda^2(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{g}=0$ (in particular, for $\g$ semisimple) we describe explicitly all Lie bialgebra structures on extensions of the form…

Let $(A,\cdot,\omega)$ be a simple $n$-Lie Poisson algebra over a field of zero characteristic, $ 1 \in A.$ Then we prove that the $n$-Lie algebra $A^{[1]}/(A^{[1]}\cap Z)$ is simple, where $A^{[1]}$ denotes the derived $n$-Lie ideal and…

We study post-Lie algebra structures on pairs of Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{n})$, motivated by nil-affine actions of Lie groups. We prove existence results for such structures depending on the interplay of the algebraic…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be the simple Lie algebra of square matrices $(n+1)\times (n+1)$ with zero trace. There are certain relations concerning standard automorphisms that are considered ``folklore". One can find a complete proof of these in…

For a representation of a Lie algebra, one can construct a diagram of the representation, i. e. a directed graph with edges labeled by matrix elements of the representation. This article explains how to use these diagrams to describe normal…
