A brief proof of Lie's classification of solvable algebras of vector fields on the plane is given. The proof uses basic representation theory and PDEs.
We present in this paper a routine which construct the ideal generated by a list of elements in a matrix Lie algebra at any particular characteristic. We have used this algorithm to analyze the problem of the simplicity of some Lie…
We give a complete classification of the class of Lie algebras of simply connected real Lie groups whose nontrivial coadjoint orbits are of codimension 1. Such a Lie group belongs to a well-known class, called the class of MD-groups. The…
In this article we describe varieties of Lie algebras via algebraic exponentiation, a concept introduced by Gray in his Ph.D. thesis. For $\mathbb{K}$ an infinite field of characteristic different from $2$, we prove that the variety of Lie…
It is known that the category of Lie algebras over a ring admits algebraic exponents. The aim of this paper is to show that the same is true for the category of internal Lie algebras in an additive, cocomplete, symmetric, closed, monoidal…
In this paper we investigate the problem of which Lie algebras appear as the derived algebra of a Lie algebra. We present new results that further develop this study and address two questions raised in a paper concerned with the…
After recalling the notion of Lie algebroid, we construct these structures associated with contact forms or systems. We are then interested in particular classes of Lie Rinehart algebras.
Hom-Lie superalgebras, which can be considered as a deformation of Lie superalgebras, are $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded generalization of Hom-Lie algebras. In this paper, we prove that there is only the trivial Hom-Lie superalgebra structure over a…
Cohen and Taylor, following an idea of Plesken, introduced a Lie algebra to the complex group algebra of a finite group and determined its structure, based on the character theory of the group. We show how the definition of this Plesken Lie…
We consider some special type extensions of an arbitrary Lie algebra ${\cal G}$, arising in the theory of Lie-Poisson structures over $({\cal G}^*)^n$, where ${\cal G}^*$ is the dual of ${\cal G}$. We show that some classes of these…
We introduce a new class of simple Lie algebras $W(n,m)$ that generalize the Witt algebra by using "exponential" functions, and also a subalgebra $W^*(n,m)$ thereof; and we show each derivation of $W^*(1,0)$ can be written as a sum of an…
We give an algebraic construction of the topological graph-tree configuration pairing of Sinha and Walter beginning with the classical presentation of Lie coalgebras via coefficients of words in the associative Lie polynomial. Our work…
In this paper we prove the theorem on freedom for relatively free Lie algebras with a single relation (analogous with the well-known result of Shirshov) and a generalized Freiheitssatz for relatively free Lie algebras (analogous with the…
We illustrate some simple ideas that can be used for obtaining a classification of small-dimensional solvable Lie algebras.Using these we obtain the classification of 3 and 4 dimensional solvable Lie algebras (over fields of any…
We suggest an index-free formalism allowing to simplify many computations in Riemann geometry. The main ingredients are forms with values in a Clifford algebra and an action of the group $\mathfrak{sl}_2\times \mathfrak{sl}_2$ on such…
Hom-algebras are generalizations of algebras obtained using a twisting by a linear map. But there is a priori a freedom on where to twist. We enumerate here all the possible choices in the Lie and associative categories and study the…
We propose the method for obtaining invariants of arbitrary representations of Lie groups that reduces this problem to known problems of linear algebra. The basis of this method is the idea of a special extension of the representation…
A Lie algebra is said to be quadratic if it admits a symmetric invariant and non-degenerated bilinear form. Semisimple algebras with the Killing form are examples of these algebras, while orthogonal subspaces provide abelian quadatric…
We approach the classification of Lie bialgebra structures on simple Lie algebras from the viewpoint of descent and non-abelian cohomology. We achieve a description of the problem in terms faithfully flat cohomology over an arbitrary ring…
In this paper we study gradings on simple Lie algebras arising from nilpotent elements. Specifically, we investigate abelian subalgebras which are degree 1 homogeneous with respect to these gradings. We show that for each odd nilpotent…
