On the Structure of the Cohomology of Nilpotent Lie Algebras

چکیده
The exterior algebra over the centre of a Lie algebra acts on the cohomology of the Lie algebra in a natural way. Focusing on nilpotent Lie algebras, we explore the module structure afforded by this action. We show that for all two-step nilpotent Lie algebras, this module structure is non-trivial, which partially answers a conjecture of Cairns and Jessup [4]. The presence of free submodules indicates that the Lie algebra satisfies Halperin’s Toral rank conjecture [11]. We prove that two specific classes of two-step nilpotent Lie algebras enjoy cohomology spaces with free submodules.

The structure of a pair of nilpotent Lie algebras
Assume that $(N,L)$, is a pair of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras, in which $L$ is non-abelian and $N$ is an ideal in $L$ and also $mathcal{M}(N,L)$ is the Schur multiplier of the pair $(N,L)$. Motivated by characterization of the pairs $(N,L)$ of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras by their Schur multipliers (Arabyani, et al. 2014) we prove some properties of a pair of nilpoten...
متن کاملSome properties of nilpotent Lie algebras
In this article, using the definitions of central series and nilpotency in the Lie algebras, we give some results similar to the works of Hulse and Lennox in 1976 and Hekster in 1986. Finally we will prove that every non trivial ideal of a nilpotent Lie algebra nontrivially intersects with the centre of Lie algebra, which is similar to Philip Hall's result in the group theory.
متن کاملOn dimension of a special subalgebra of derivations of nilpotent Lie algebras
Let $L$ be a Lie algebra, $mathrm{Der}(L)$ be the set of all derivations of $L$ and $mathrm{Der}_c(L)$ denote the set of all derivations $alphainmathrm{Der}(L)$ for which $alpha(x)in [x,L]:={[x,y]vert yin L}$ for all $xin L$. We obtain an upper bound for dimension of $mathrm{Der}_c(L)$ of the finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra $L$ over algebraically closed fields. Also, we classi...
متن کاملBounds for the dimension of the $c$-nilpotent multiplier of a pair of Lie algebras
In this paper, we study the Neumann boundary value problem of a class of nonlinear divergence type diffusion equations. By a priori estimates, difference and variation techniques, we establish the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of this problem.
متن کاملSolvable Lie algebras with $N(R_n,m,r)$ nilradical
In this paper, we classify the indecomposable non-nilpotent solvable Lie algebras with $N(R_n,m,r)$ nilradical,by using the derivation algebra and the automorphism group of $N(R_n,m,r)$.We also prove that these solvable Lie algebras are complete and unique, up to isomorphism.
