In this note we compute Leibniz algebra deformations of the 3-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra n3 and compare it with its Lie deformations. It turns out that there are 3 extra Leibniz deformations. We also describe the versal Leibniz deformation of n3 with the versal base.

It is an initially surprising fact how much of the geometry and arithmetic of Shimura varieties (e.g., moduli spaces of abelian varieties) is governed by the theory of linear algebraic groups. This is in some sense unfortunate, because the theory of algebraic groups (even over the complex numbers, and still more over a nonalgebraically closed field like Q) is rich and complicated, containing fo...

Let Θ be an arbitrary variety of algebras and let Θ0 be the category of all free finitely generated algebras from Θ. We study automorphisms of such categories for special Θ. The cases of the varieties of all groups, all semigroups, all modules over a noetherian ring, all associative and commutative algebras over a field are completely investigated. The cases of associative and Lie algebras are ...

We study the problem of matrix Lie algebra conjugacy. Lie algebras arise centrally in areas as diverse as differential equations, particle physics, group theory, and the Mulmuley–Sohoni Geometric Complexity Theory program. A matrix Lie algebra is a set L of matrices such that M1,M2 ∈ L =⇒ M1M2 − M2M1 ∈ L. Two matrix Lie algebras are conjugate if there is an invertible matrix M such that L1 = ML...

A Lie bialgebra is a vector space endowed simultaneously with the structure of algebra and coalgebra, some compatibility condition. Moreover, brackets have skew symmetry. Because close relation between bialgebras quantum groups, it interesting to consider structures on L related Virasoro algebra. In this paper, are investigated by computing Der(L, L⊗L). It proved that all such triangular coboun...

In this paper,we will show how to kill the obstructions to Lie algebra deformations via a method which essentially embeds a Lie algebra into Strong homotopy Lie algebra or L∞ algebra. All such obstructions have been transfered to the revelvant L∞ algebras which contain only three terms.

Let G be a reductive connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and let g be its Lie algebra. First we correct and generalise a well-known result about the Picard group of G. Then we prove that, if the derived group is simply connected and g satisfies a mild condition, the algebra K[G] of regular functions on G that are invariant under the act...

In [Zh], R. B. Zhang found a way to link certain formal deformations of the Lie algebra o(2l + 1) and the Lie superalgebra osp(1, 2l). The aim of this article is to reformulate the Zhang transformation in the context of the quantum enveloping algebrasà la Drinfeld-Jimbo and to show how this construction can explain the main theorem of [GL2]: the annihilator of a Verma module over the Lie supera...
