Inner Derivations of Non-associative Algebras

In this note we propose a definition of inner derivation for nonassociative algebras. This definition coincides with the usual one for Lie algebras, and for associative algebras with no absolute right (left) divisor of zero. I t is well known that all derivations of semi-simple associative or Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero are inner. Recent correspondence with N. Jacobson has ...

Universal Central Extension of Current Superalgebras

Representation as well as central extension are two of the most important concepts in the theory of Lie (super)algebras. Apart from the interest of mathematicians, the attention of physicist are also drawn to these two subjects because of the significant amount of their applications in Physics. In fact for physicists, the study of projective representations of Lie (super)algebras  are very impo...

The Non-symmetric Operad Pre-lie Is Free

Operads are a specific tool for encoding type of algebras. For instance there are operads encoding associative algebras, commutative and associative algebras, Lie algebras, pre-Lie algebras, dendriform algebras, Poisson algebras and so on. A usual way of describing a type of algebras is by giving the generating operations and the relations among them. For instance a Lie algebra L is a vector sp...

Cartan Subalgebras in Lie Algebras of Associative Algebras

A Cartan subalgebra of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra L is a nilpotent subalgebra H of L that coincides with its normalizer NL H . Such subalgebras occupy an important place in the structure theory of finite-dimensional Lie algebras and their properties have been explored in many articles (see, e.g., Barnes, 1967; Benkart, 1986; Wilson, 1977; Winter, 1969). In general (more precisely, when th...
