Commutative Restricted Lie Algebras1

چکیده
Examples of such algebras are subspaces of associative algebras of characteristic p^O which are closed under the Lie multiplication [ab] =ab — ba and under pih powers. Then one may take a[pl =ap. It is known that every restricted Lie algebra is isomorphic to one of this type. For this reason we may simplify our notation in the sequel and write a" for alp]. We call the mapping a—>ap the p-operator in 2. We shall call a restricted Lie algebra 2 commutative if [ab] =0 in 2. These algebras play an important role in the theory of simple restricted Lie algebras since in all known examples every such algebra contains a commutative (restricted) Cartan subalgebra. Moreover, Zassenhaus has shown recently that if 2 is a Lie algebra of characteristic p5*Q which has a representation with nondegenerate trace form, then the Cartan subalgebras of 2 are all commutative. The present author has extended Zassenhaus' result to show that if 2 is restricted and has nondegenerate trace form in a (restricted) representation, then the Cartan subalgebras are also semi-simple in the sense defined below. These results and some of those contained herein will be used in a forthcoming paper by G. Seligman on the classification of simple restricted Lie algebras which admit nondegenerate trace forms.

متن کاملOn the Restricted Lie Algebra Structure for the Witt Lie Algebra in Finite Characteristic
The Lie algebra W = DerA is called the Witt algebra. It consists of “vector fields” f∂, f ∈ A. In particular, dimF W = dimF A = p. As any Lie algebra of derivations of a commutative algebra over F, W has a canonical structure of a restricted Lie algebra. Recall that a restricted Lie algebra is a Lie algebra over F with an additional unary (in general, non-linear) operation g 7→ g satisfying the...
متن کاملOn generalized reduced representations of restricted Lie superalgebras in prime characteristic
Let $mathbb{F}$ be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p>2$ and $(g, [p])$ a finite-dimensional restricted Lie superalgebra over $mathbb{F}$. It is showed that anyfinite-dimensional indecomposable $g$-module is a module for a finite-dimensional quotient of the universal enveloping superalgebra of $g$. These quotient superalgebras are called the generalized reduced enveloping ...
متن کاملSUBREGULAR REPRESENTATIONS OF sln AND SIMPLE SINGULARITIES OF TYPE An−1 IAIN GORDON AND DMITRIY RUMYNIN
Alexander Premet has stated the following problem: what is a relation between subregular nilpotent representations of a classical semisimple restricted Lie algebra and non-commutative deformations of the corresponding singularities? We solve this problem for type A.
