Anosov Automorphisms of Nilpotent Lie Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
Each matrix A in GLn(Z) naturally defines an automorphism f of the free r-step nilpotent Lie algebra fn,r. We study the relationship between the matrix A and the eigenvalues and rational invariant subspaces for f. We give applications to the study of Anosov automorphisms.

Anosov Lie Algebras and Algebraic Units in Number Fields
The nilmanifolds admitting Anosov automorphisms correspond to Anosov Lie algebras, which in turn determine very special algebraic units in number fields. By studying properties of these algebraic units using basic field theory, we can rule out many possibilities for a Lie algebra to be Anosov. This technique is useful for the classification of Anosov Lie algebras and hence the classification of...
متن کاملAnosov Automorphisms on Compact Nilmanifolds Associated with Graphs
We associate with each graph (S, E) a 2-step simply connected nilpotent Lie group N and a lattice Γ in N . We determine the group of Lie automorphisms of N and apply the result to describe a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of the graph, for the compact nilmanifold N/Γ to admit an Anosov automorphism. Using the criterion we obtain new examples of compact nilmanifolds admitting Anoso...
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 کاملThe 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 Two–Step and Three–Step Nilpotent Lie Groups with Small Automorphism Groups
We construct examples of two-step and three-step nilpotent Lie groups whose automorphism groups are “small” in the sense of either not having a dense orbit for the action on the Lie group, or being nilpotent (the latter being stronger). From the results we also get new examples of compact manifolds covered by two-step simply connected nilpotent Lie groups which do not admit Anosov automorphisms...
