We present an extremely elementary construction of the simple Lie algebras over the complex numbers in all of their minuscule representations, using the vertices of various polytopes. The construction itself requires no complicated…

Divergence-free Lie algebras (also known as the special Lie algebras of Cartan type) are Lie algebras of volume-preserving transformation groups. They are simple in generic case. Dokovic and Zhao found a certain graded generalization of…

In a paper by Xu, some simple Lie algebras of generalized Cartan type were constructed, using the mixtures of grading operators and down-grading operators. Among them, are the simple Lie algebras of generalized Witt type, which are in…

We study so called regular Lie algebras, i.e. Lie algebras in which each nonzero element is regular. We make a connection with an open problem whether any element of reduced trace zero in a simple associative algebra is a commutator.

We construct four new series of generalized simple Lie algebras of Cartan type, using the mixtures of grading operators and down-grading operators. Our results in this paper are further generalizations of those in Osborn's work ``New simple…

Let $A$ be an associative commutative algebra with $1$ over a field of zero characteristic, $\{,\} : A \times A \to A$ is a Poisson bracket, $Z = \{ a \in A \mid \{a, A\} = (0) \}.$ We prove that if $A$ is simple as a Poisson algebra then…

It is well known that the Poisson Lie algebra is isomorphic to the Hamiltonian Lie algebra. We show that the Poisson Lie algebra can be embedded properly in the special type Lie algebra. We also generalize the Hamiltonian Lie algebra using…

In this paper we describe all gradings by abelian groups without elements of order p, where p > 2 is the characteristic of the base field, on the simple graded Cartan type Lie algebras.

For a field K and directed graph E, we analyze those elements of the Leavitt path algebra L_K(E) which lie in the commutator subspace [L_K(E), L_K(E)]. This analysis allows us to give easily computable necessary and sufficient conditions to…

One of the four well-known series of simple Lie algebras of Cartan type is the series of Lie algebras of Special type, which are divergence-free Lie algebras associated with polynomial algebras and the operators of taking partial…

In extending results from Lie to Leibniz algebras, it is helpful to have techniques which translate results from the former to the latter without having to repeat the (perhaps modified) arguments. Such a technique is developed in this work,…

We introduce anyonic Lie algebras in terms of structure constants. We provide the simplest examples and formulate some open problems.

Let $\Lambda$ be a lattice of rank $n$. A Lie algebra on the lattice $\Lambda$ is a Lie algebra ${\cal L}=\oplus_{\lambda\in\Lambda}\,{\cal L}_{\lambda}$ such that $\dim\,{\cal L}_\lambda=1$ for all $\lambda$. In this article, we classify…

It is well known that a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero is simple exactly when its derivation algebra is simple. In this paper we characterize those Lie algebras of arbitrary dimension over any field that…

We develop a graphical notation to introduce classical Lie algebras. Although this paper deals with well-known results, our pictorial point of view is slightly different to the traditional one. Our graphical notation is fairly elementary…

We consider the Lie algebra associated with the descending central series filtration of the pure braid group of a closed surface of arbitrary genus. R. Bezrukavnikov gave a presentation of this Lie algebra over the rational numbers. We show…

We show that the theory of geometric structures proposed in the recent book "An Alternative Approach to Lie Groups and Geometric Structures" can be developed independently of connections.

Divergence-free Lie algebras are originated from the Lie algebras of volume-preserving transformation groups. Xu constructed a certain nongraded generalization, which may not contain any toral Cartan subalgebra. In this paper, we give a…

Results about the following classes of finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero are presented: anisotropic (i.e., Lie algebras for which each adjoint operator is semisimple), regular (i.e., Lie algebras in which…

The study of the relation between Lie algebras and groups, and especially the derivation of new algebras from them, is a problem of great interest in mathematics and physics, because finding a new Lie group from an already known one also…
