Some properties of nilpotent Lie algebras

Degenerations of nilpotent Lie algebras

In this paper we study degenerations of nilpotent Lie algebras. If λ, μ are two points in the variety of nilpotent Lie algebras, then λ is said to degenerate to μ , λ→deg μ , if μ lies in the Zariski closure of the orbit of λ . It is known that all degenerations of nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension n < 7 can be realized via a one-parameter subgroup. We construct degenerations between characte...

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...

Degenerations of 7-dimensional Nilpotent Lie Algebras

We study the varieties of Lie algebra laws and their subvarieties of nilpotent Lie algebra laws. We classify all degenerations of (almost all) five-step and six-step nilpotent seven-dimensional complex Lie algebras. One of the main tools is the use of trivial and adjoint cohomology of these algebras. In addition, we give some new results on the varieties of complex Lie algebra laws in low dimen...

Simple completable contractions of nilpotent Lie algebras

We study a certain class of non-maximal rank contractions of the nilpotent Lie algebra gm and show that these contractions are completable Lie algebras. As a consequence a family of solvable complete Lie algebras of non-maximal rank is given in arbitrary dimension. . AMS Math. Subj. Class. 17B10, 17B30.
