This paper gives an overview of some basic properties of Leibniz algebras. Some of the results were known earlier, but in the article they are accompanied by new simple proofs. Some of the results are new. The article can be viewed as a…

Cohen and Taylor introduced Plesken Lie algebra as certain Lie algebra constructed using finite groups. Arjun and Romeo described the linear representation of these Lie algebras induced from group representation in [1]. Hence the authors…

We prove that if, for a nontrivial variety of non-associative algebras, every subalgebra of every free algebra is free and $I^2$ is an ideal whenever $I$ is an ideal, then this variety coincides with the variety of all Lie algebras.

We discuss various old and new definitions of the notion of a vector field on a convenient manifold that can be proved to give rise to Lie algebras, and are in finite dimensions equivalent to the standard notion of a vector field.

We construct representation theory of Lie algebras with filtrations. In this framework a classification of irreducible representations is obtained and spectra of some reducible representations are found.

A Lie algebra $L$ is said to be $(\Theta_{n},sl_{n})$-graded if it contains a simple subalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ isomorphic to $sl_{n}$ such that the $\mathfrak{g}$-module $L$ decomposes into copies of the adjoint module, the trivial module,…

The authors of this article intend to present some results obtained in the study of biderivations of complete Lie algebras. Firstly they present a matricial approach to do this, which was a useful and explanatory tool not only in the study…

Algebraic basics on Temperley-Lieb algebras are proved in an elementary and straightforward way with the help of tensor categories behind them.

If a Lie algebra structure g on a vector space is the sum of a family of mutually compatible Lie algebra structures g_i's, we say that g is simply assembled from the g_i's. Repeating this procedure with a number of Lie algebras, themselves…

Every Lie algebra over a field $E$ gives rise to new Lie algebras over any subfield $F \subseteq E$ by restricting the scalar multiplication. This paper studies the structure of these underlying Lie algebra in relation to the structure of…

The general theory of the radicals of Lie algebras are established. Baer radicals of untwisted affine Lie algebras are found.

Goldman and Turaev found a Lie bialgebra structure on the vector space generated by non-trivial free homotopy classes of curves on a surface. When the surface has non-empty boundary, this vector space has a basis of cyclic reduced words in…

We study the subspace of the exterior algebra of a simple complex Lie algebra linearly spanned by the copies of the little adjoint representation or, in the case of the Lie algebra of traceless matrices, by the copies of the n-th symmetric…

It is a basic introduction to differential graded Lie algebras, Maurer-Cartan equation and associated deformation functors.

The main aim of this paper is to classify the distinct multiplicative Lie algebra structures (up to isomorphism) on a given group. We also see that for a given group $G$, every homomorphism from the non-abelian exterior square $G \wedge G$…

We describe a construction of an algebra over the field of order 2 starting from a conjugacy class of 3-transpositions in a group. In particular, we determine which simple Lie algebras arise by this construction. Among other things, this…
