A Riemannian Einstein solvmanifold is called standard, if the orthogonal complement to the nilradical of its Lie algebra is abelian. No examples of nonstandard solvmanifolds are known. We show that the standardness of an Einstein metric solvable Lie algebra is completely detected by its nilradical and prove that many classes of nilpotent Lie algebras (Einstein nilradicals, algebras with less th...

Let G be a connected, linear semisimple Lie group with Lie algebra g, and let KC → Aut(pC ) be the complexified isotropy representation at the identity coset of the corresponding symmetric space. The Kostant-Sekiguchi correspondence is a bijection between the nilpotent KC -orbits in pC and the nilpotent G-orbits in g. We show that this correspondence associates each spherical nilpotent KC -orbi...

Let K be a field of positive characteristic p and KG the group algebra of a group G. It is known that, if KG is Lie nilpotent, then its upper (or lower) Lie nilpotency index is at most |G| + 1, where |G| is the order of the commutator subgroup. Previously we determined the groups G for which the upper/lower nilpotency index is maximal or the upper nilpotency index is ‘almost maximal’ (that is, ...

It was shown in papers of Dosi and a recent article the author that there is sheaf Frechet-Arens-Michael algebras (locally solvable complex case polynomial growth real) on character space nilpotent Lie algebra. For algebra group affine transformations line (the simplest non-nilpotent algebra) we construct analogous sheaves non-commutative smooth holomorphic functions special set representations.

Let K be a field of positive characteristic p and KG the group algebra of a group G. It is known that, if KG is Lie nilpotent, then its upper (or lower) Lie nilpotency index is at most |G|+ 1, where |G| is the order of the commutator subgroup. The authors have previously determined the groups G for which this index is maximal and here they determine the G for which it is ‘almost maximal’, that ...

We give a new characterization of Lusztig’s canonical quotient, a finite group attached to each special nilpotent orbit of a complex semisimple Lie algebra. This group plays an important role in the classification of unipotent representations of finite groups of Lie type. We also define a duality map. To each pair of a nilpotent orbit and a conjugacy class in its fundamental group, the map assi...

Let X be an F -rational nilpotent element in the Lie algebra of a connected and reductive group G defined over the ground field F . Suppose that the Lie algebra has a non-degenerate invariant bilinear form. We show that the unipotent radical of the centralizer of X is F -split. This property has several consequences. When F is complete with respect to a discrete valuation with either finite or ...

We consider two different constructions of higher brackets. First, based on a Grassmann-odd, nilpotent ∆ operator, we define a non-commutative generalization of the higher Koszul brackets, which are used in a generalized Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra, and we show that they form a homotopy Lie algebra. Secondly, we investigate higher, so-called derived brackets built from symmetrized, nested Lie br...

We give the number of nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebras of orthogonal groups under the adjoint action of the groups over F(2(n)). Let G be an adjoint algebraic group of type B, C, or D defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We construct the Springer correspondence for the nilpotent variety in the Lie algebra of G.
