1. INTRODUCTION. Some years ago W. Plesken told the first author of a simple but interesting construction of a Lie algebra from a finite group. The authors posed themselves the question as to what the structure of this Lie algebra might be. In particular, for which groups does the construction produce a simple Lie algebra? The answer is given in the present paper; it uses some textbook results ...

Let  be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and  be its tangent bundle with the lift metric. Then every infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformation  induces an infinitesimal homothetic transformation on .  Furthermore,  the correspondence   gives a homomorphism of the Lie algebra of infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformations on  onto the Lie algebra of infinitesimal ...

We investigate a family of integrable Hamiltonian systems on Lie–Poisson spaces L+(5) dual to Lie algebras soλ,α(5) being two-parameter deformations of so(5). We integrate corresponding Hamiltonian equations on L+(5) and T ∗R5 by quadratures as well as discuss their possible physical interpretation.

We prove that if G is a finite simple group of Lie type and S a subset of G of size at least two then G is a product of at most c log |G|/ log |S| conjugates of S, where c depends only on the Lie rank of G. This confirms a conjecture of Liebeck, Nikolov and Shalev in the case of families of simple groups of bounded rank. We also obtain various related results about products of conjugates of a s...

Complete sets of bases of differential invariants, operators of invariant differentiation and Lie determinants of continuous transformation groups acting on the real plane are constructed. As a necessary preliminary, realizations of finite-dimensional Lie algebras on the real plane are revisited.

We study curvature homogeneous spaces or locally homogeneous spaces whose curvature tensors are invariant by the action of “large” Lie subalgebras h of so(n). In this paper we deal with the cases of h = so(r)⊕ so(n− r) (2 ≤ r ≤ n− r), so(n− 2), and the Lie algebras of Lie groups acting transitively on spheres, and classify such curvature homogeneous spaces or locally homogeneous spaces.

Let A ⊇ D ⊆ B be two von Neumann algebras together with a common Cartan subalgebra. Then the amalgamated free product M = A ∗D B with respect to the unique conditional expectations from A, B onto D can be considered. In our previous paper [U1], the questions of its factoriality and type classification were discussed in detail, which will be reviewed in §4. The main purpose of the paper is to gi...

The five simple exceptional complex Lie superalgbras of vector fields are described. One of them is new; the other four are explicitely described for the first time. All of the exceptional Lie superalgebras are obtained with the help of the Cartan prolongation or a generalized prolongation. The description of several of the exceptional Lie superalgebras is associated with the Lie superalgebra a...

We introduce anyonic Lie algebras in terms of structure constants. We provide the simplest examples and formulate some open problems.

We give an explicit description of the tracial state simplex C ⁎ -algebra ( G ) arbitrary connected, second countable, locally compact, solvable group . show that every lifts from a abelianized group, and intersection kernels all states is proper ideal unless abelian. As consequence, connected nonabelian Lie cannot embed into simple unital AF-algebra.
