Automorphisms and derivations of Borel subalgebras and their nilradicals in Kac-Moody algebras

چکیده
In this paper, we determine derivations of Borel subalgebras and their derived subalgebras called nilradicals, in Kac-Moody algebras (and contragredient Lie algebras) over any field of characteristic 0; and we also determine automorphisms of those subalgebras in symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. The results solve a conjecture posed by R. V. Moody about 30 years ago which generalizes a result by B. Kostant and which is discussed by A. Fialowski using Lie algebra cohomology in case of affine type.

On I-null Lie Algebras
We consider the class of complex Lie algebras for which the Koszul 3-form is zero, and prove that it contains all quotients of Borel subalgebras, or of their nilradicals, of finite dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebras. A list of Kac-Moody types for indecomposable nilpotent complex Lie algebras of dimension ≤ 7 is given.
متن کاملSome remarks about the second Leibniz cohomology group for Lie algebras
We compare by a very elementary approach the second adjoint and trivial Leibniz cohomology spaces of a Lie algebra to the usual ones. Examples are given of coupled cocycles. Some properties are deduced as to Leibniz deformations. We also consider the class of Lie algebras for which the Koszul 3-form is zero, and prove that it contains all quotients of Borel subalgebras, or of their nilradicals,...
متن کاملAlmost split real forms for hyperbolic Kac-Moody Lie algebras
A Borel-Tits theory was developped for almost split forms of symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebras [J. of Algebra 171, 43-96 (1995)]. In this paper, we look to almost split real forms for symmetrizable hyperbolic KacMoody Lie algebras and we establish a complete list of these forms, in terms of their Satake-Tits index, for the strictly hyperbolic ones and for those which are obtained as (hyperbo...
متن کاملVerma Modules Induced from Nonstandard Borel Subalgebras
In this paper we study composition series and em-beddings of Verma modules induced from "nonstandard" Borel subalgebras. This article can be viewed as a generalization of Futorny's work on imaginary Verma modules for Λ\ ' where the center of the Kac-Moody algebra acts nontrivially. Introduction. Let A be an indecomposable symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix, fl(A) = n_ © f) 0 n+ the triangu...
متن کاملRegular Subalgebras of Affine Kac–moody Algebras
We classify regular subalgebras of affine Kac–Moody algebras in terms of their root systems. In the process, we establish that a root system of a subalgebra is always an intersection of the root system of the algebra with a sublattice of its root lattice. We also discuss applications to investigations of regular subalgebras of hyperbolic Kac–Moody algebras and conformally invariant subalgebras ...
