چکیده

In this contributed presentation, we discuss and compare the mutually opposite procedures of deformations and contractions of Lie algebras. We suggest that with appropriate combinations of both procedures one may construct new Lie algebras. We first discuss low-dimensional Lie algebras and illustrate thereby that whereas for every contraction there exists a reverse deformation, the converse is not true in general. Also we note that some Lie algebras belonging to parameterized families are singled out by the irreversibility of deformations and contractions. After reminding that global deformations of the Witt, Virasoro, and affine Kac–Moody algebras allow one to retrieve Lie algebras of Krichever–Novikov type, we contract the latter to find new infinite dimensional Lie algebras.

Deformations and contractions of Lie algebras

We discuss the mutually opposite procedures of deformations and contractions of Lie algebras. Our main purpose is to illustrate the fact that, with appropriate combinations of both procedures, we obtain new Lie algebras. Firstly, we discuss low-dimensional Lie algebras, and these simple examples illustrate that, whereas for every contraction there exists a reverse deformation, the converse is n...

Arithmetic Deformation Theory of Lie Algebras

This paper is devoted to deformation theory of graded Lie algebras over Z or Zl with finite dimensional graded pieces. Such deformation problems naturally appear in number theory. In the first part of the paper, we use Schlessinger criteria for functors on Artinian local rings in order to obtain universal deformation rings for deformations of graded Lie algebras and their graded representations...

Lie bialgebra contractions and quantum deformations of quasi-orthogonal algebras

Lie bialgebra contractions are introduced and classified. A non-degenerate coboundary bialgebra structure is implemented into all pseudo-orthogonal algebras so(p, q) starting from the one corresponding to so(N +1). It allows to introduce a set of Lie bialgebra contractions which leads to Lie bialgebras of quasi-orthogonal algebras. This construction is explicitly given for the cases N = 2, 3, 4...

Non-solvable contractions of semisimple Lie algebras in low dimension

The problem of non-solvable contractions of Lie algebras is analyzed. By means of a stability theorem, the problem is shown to be deeply related to the embeddings among semisimple Lie algebras and the resulting branching rules for representations. With this procedure, we determine all deformations of indecomposable Lie algebras having a nontrivial Levi decomposition onto semisimple Lie algebras...
