We prove that in a locally finite variety that has definable principal congruences (DPC), solvable congruences are nilpotent, and strongly solvable congruences are strongly abelian. As a corollary of the arguments we obtain that in a congruence modular variety with DPC, every solvable algebra can be decomposed as a direct product of nilpotent algebras of prime power size.

We prove that if L = lim ←−Ln (n ∈ N), where each Ln is a finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebra, and A is a finite codimensional ideal of L, then L/A is also semisimple. We show also that every finite dimensional homomorphic image of the cartesian product of solvable (nilpotent) finite dimensional Lie algebras is solvable (nilpotent).

An Einstein nilradical is a nilpotent Lie algebra, which can be the nilradical of a metric Einstein solvable Lie algebra. The classification of Riemannian Einstein solvmanifolds (possibly, of all noncompact homogeneous Einstein spaces) can be reduced to determining, which nilpotent Lie algebras are Einstein nilradicals and to finding, for every Einstein nilradical, its Einstein metric solvable ...

In [KO2] we developed a general classification scheme for metric Lie algebras, i.e. for finite-dimensional Lie algebras equipped with a non-degenerate invariant inner product. Here we determine all nilpotent Lie algebras l with dim l = 2 which are used in this scheme. Furthermore, we classify all nilpotent metric Lie algebras of dimension at most 10.

Let M be a Galois cover of a nilpotent coadjoint orbit of a complex semisimple Lie group. We define the notion of a perfect Dixmier algebra for M and show how this produces a graded (non-local) equivariant star product on M with several very nice properties. This is part of a larger program we have been developing for working out the orbit method for nilpotent orbits.

We prove that a torsion group G with all subgroups subnormal is a nilpotent group or G = N(A1×· · ·×An) is a product of a normal nilpotent subgroup N and pi -subgroups Ai , where Ai = A (i) 1 · · ·A (i) mi G , A (i) j is a Heineken–Mohamed type group, and p1, . . . , pn are pairwise distinct primes (n ≥ 1; i = 1, . . . , n; j = 1, . . . ,mi and mi are positive integers).

In this paper our goal to thoroughly determine the rings in which each non-unit element is a product of nilpotent and quasi-idempotent.
