This paper deals with the variety of commutative nonassociative algebras satisfying the identity $L_x^3+ γL_{x^3} = 0$, $γ\in K$. Correa et al proved that if $γ= 0,1$ then any such finitely generated algebra is nilpotent. Here we generalize this result by proving that if $γ\neq -1$, then any such algebra is locally nilpotent. Our results require characteristic $\neq 2,3$.
This paper is devoted to the complete algebraic classification of complex $5$-dimensional nilpotent commutative algebras. Our method of classification is based on the standard method of classification of central extensions of smaller nilpotent commutative algebras and the recently obtained classification of complex $5$-dimensional nilpotent commutative $\mathfrak{CD}$-algebras.
An algebraic classification of complex $5$-dimensional nilpotent commutative $\mathfrak{CD}$-algebras is given. This classification is based on an algebraic classification of complex $5$-dimensional nilpotent Jordan algebras.
We give an explicit description of commutative post-Lie algebra structures on some classes of nilpotent Lie algebras. For non-metabelian filiform nilpotent Lie algebras and Lie algebras of strictly upper-triangular matrices we show that all CPA-structures are associative and induce an associated Poisson-admissible algebra.
We give a geometric classification of complex $5$-dimensional nilpotent commutative $\mathfrak{CD}$-algebras. The corresponding geometric variety has dimension $24$ and decomposes into $10$ irreducible components determined by the Zariski closures of a two-parameter family of algebras, three one-parameter families of algebras, and $6$ rigid algebras.
We show that for a given nilpotent Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ with $Z(\mathfrak{g})\subseteq [\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{g}]$ all commutative post-Lie algebra structures, or CPA-structures, on $\mathfrak{g}$ are complete. This means that all left and all right multiplication operators in the algebra are nilpotent. Then we study CPA-structures on free-nilpotent Lie algebras $F_{g,c}$ and discover a strong relationship to solving systems of linear equations of type $[x,u]+[y,v]=0$ for generator pairs $x,y\in F_{g,c}$. We use results of Remeslennikov and Stöhr concerning these equations to prove that…
We give a computional method to construct and classify nilpotent Jordan algebras over any arbitrary fields by the second cohomolgy of nilpotent Jordan algebras of low dimension "analogue of Skjelbred-Sund method", we see that every nilpotent Jordan algebras can be constructed by the second cohomolgy of nilpotent Jordan algebras of low dimension. We use this method to classify nilpotent Jordan algebras up to dimension three over any field and nilpotent Jordan algebras of dimension four over an algebraic closed field of characteristic not 2 and over the real field R. Also commutative nilpotent a…
Let $A$ be a finite commutative nilpotent $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra structure on $G$, an elementary abelian group of order $p^n$. If $K/k$ is a Galois extension of fields with Galois group $G$ and $A^p = 0$, then corresponding to $A$ is an $H$-Hopf Galois structure on $K/k$ of type $G$. For that Hopf Galois structure we may study the image of the Galois correspondence from $k$-subHopf algebras of $H$ to subfields of $K$ containing $k$ by utilizing the fact that the intermediate subfields correspond to the $\mathbb{F}_p$-subspaces of $A$, while the subHopf algebras of $H$ correspond to the ideals …
We obtain the functions that bound the dimensions of finite dimensional nilpotent associative or Lie algebras of class 2 over an algebraically closed field in terms of the dimensions of their commutative subalgebras. As a result, we also compute a similar function for complex nilpotent Lie groups of class 2.
Let $δ$ be a derivation of a locally nilpotent ring $R$. Then the differential polynomial ring $R[X; δ]$ cannot be mapped onto a ring with a non-zero idempotent. This answers a recent question by Greenfeld, Smoktunowicz and Ziembowski.
We study iterated differential polynomial rings over a locally nilpotent ring and show that a large class of such rings are Behrens radical. This extends results of Chebotar and Chen et al.
We extend existing results on locally nilpotent differential polynomial rings to skew extensions of rings. We prove that if $\mathscr{G}=\{σ_t\}_{t\in T}$ is a locally finite family of automorphisms of an algebra $R$, $\mathscr{D}=\{δ_t\}_{t\in T}$ is a family of skew derivations of $R$ such that the prime radical $P$ of $R$ is strongly invariant under $\mathscr{D}$, then the ideal $P\langle T,\mathscr{G},\mathscr{D}\rangle^*$ of $R\langle T,\mathscr{G},\mathscr{D}\rangle$, generated by $P$, is locally nilpotent. We then apply this result to algebras with locally nilpotent derivations. We prov…

Let $D$ be a division ring with the center $F$ and $D^*$ be the multiplicative group of $D$. In this paper we study locally nilpotent maximal subgroups of $D^*$. We give some conditions that influence the existence of locally nilpotent maximal subgroups in division ring with infinite center. Also, it is shown that if $M$ is a locally nilpotent maximal subgroup that is algebraic over $F$, then either it is the multiplicative group of some maximal subfield of $D$ or it is center by locally finite. If, in addition we assume that $F$ is finite and $M$ is nilpotent, then the second case cannot occu…
We answer a question by Shestakov on the Jacobson radical in differential polynomial rings. We show that if R is a locally nilpotent ring with a derivation D then R[X;D] need not be Jacobson radical. We also show that J(R[X;D])\cap R is a nil ideal of R in the case where D is a locally nilpotent derivation and R is an algebra over an uncountable field.
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $A$ an integral $K$-domain. The Lie algebra $Der_{K}(A)$ of all $K$-derivations of $A$ contains the set $LND(A)$ of all locally nilpotent derivations. The structure of $LND(A)$ is of great interest, and the question about properties of Lie algebras contained in $LND(A)$ is still open. An answer to it in the finite dimensional case is given. It is proved that any finite dimensional (over $K$) subalgebra of $Der_{K}(A)$ consisting of locally nilpotent derivations is nilpotent. In the case $A=K[x, y],$ it is also proved that any …
In Hai-Thin (2009), there is a theorem, stating that every locally nilpotent subnormal subgroup in a division ring $D$ is central (see Hai-Thin (2009, Th. 2.2)). Unfortunately, there is some mistake in the proof of this theorem. In this note we give the another proof of this theorem.
The behavior of nilpotents can reveal valuable information about the algebra. We give a simple proof of a classic result that a finite ring is commutative if all its nilpotents lie in the center.
A ring is said to satisfy the $2$-nil-sum property if every non central-unit is the sum of two nilpotents. We prove that a ring satisfies the $2$-nil-sum property iff it is either a simple ring with the $2$-nil-sum property or a commutative local ring with nil Jacobson radical, and we provide an example of a simple ring with the $2$-nil-sum property that is not commutative. Moreover, a simple right Goldie ring has the $2$-nil-sum property iff it is a field.
It is proved that the following conditions are equivalent for an infinite non-associative commutative Moufang loop $Q$: 1) $Q$ satisfies the minimum condition for subloops; 2) if the loop $Q$ contains a centrally solvable subloop of class $s$, then it satisfies the minimum condition for centrally solvable subloops of class $s$; 3) if the loop $Q$ contains a centrally nilpotent subloop of class $n$, then it satisfies the minimum condition for centrally nilpotent subloops of class $n$; 4) $Q$ satisfies the minimum condition for non-invatiant associative subloops. The structure of the commutative…
In this paper we classify up to affine equivalence all local tube realizations of real hyperquadrics in C^n. We show that this problem can be reduced to the classification, up to isomorphism, of commutative nilpotent real and complex algebras. We also develop some structure theory for commutative nilpotent algebras over arbitrary fields of characteristic zero.
Let B be an algebra over a field k and let Der(B) be the set of k-derivations from B to B. We define what it means for a subset of Der(B) to be a locally nilpotent set. We prove some basic results about that notion and explore the following questions. Let L be a Lie subalgebra of Der(B); if every element of L is a locally nilpotent derivation then does it follow that L is a locally nilpotent set? Does it follow that L is a nilpotent Lie algebra?
Let $L/K$ be a Galois extension of fields with Galois group $G$, an elementary abelian $p$-group of rank $n$ for $p$ an odd prime. It is known that nilpotent $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra structures $A$ on $G$ yield regular subgroups of the holomorph of $G$, hence Hopf Galois structures on $L/K$. In this paper we illustrate the richness of Hopf Galois structures on $L/K$ by examining the case where $A$ is abelian of dimension $n$ where the dimension of $A^2 = 1$. We determine the number of Hopf Galois structures that arise in these cases, describe those structures explicitly, and estimate the extent …
We construct new examples of non-nil algebras with any number of generators, which are direct sums of two locally nilpotent subalgebras. As all previously known examples, our examples are contracted semigroup algebras and the underlying semigroups are unions of locally nilpotent subsemigroups. In our constructions we make more transparent than in the past the close relationship between the considered problem and combinatorics of words.
It has been conjectured by Gene Freudenburg that for a polynomial ring, the triangular Lie algebra is the maximal Lie algebra which lies in the set of locally nilpotent derivations of the ring. Also it was conjectured that each other maximal Lie algebra which lies in the set of locally nilpotent derivations of the polynomial ring is conjugated to the triangular Lie algebra. In the present work we prove the first part of this conjecture and provide the counterexample to the second part. Also we show that the second part of the conjecture holds for the maximal Lie algebras among locally nilpoten…
In commutative algebra, if $δ$ is a locally nilpotent derivation of the polynomial algebra $K[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$ over a field $K$ of characteristic 0 and $w$ is a nonzero element of the kernel of $δ$, then $Δ=wδ$ is also a locally nilpotent derivation with the same kernel as $δ$. In this paper we prove that the locally nilpotent derivation $Δ$ of the free associative algebra $K\langle X,Y\rangle$ is determined up to a multiplicative constant by its kernel. We show also that the kernel of $Δ$ is a free associative algebra and give an explicit set of its free generators.
Let G be a nilpotent complete p-valued group of finite rank and let k be a field of characteristic p. We prove that every faithful prime ideal of the Iwasawa algebra kG is controlled by the centre of G, and use this to show that the prime spectrum of kG is a disjoint union of commutative strata. We also show that every prime ideal of kG is completely prime. The key ingredient in the proof is the construction of a non-commutative valuation on certain filtered simple Artinian rings.
We present a complete list of groups $G$ and fields $F$ for which: (i) the group of normalized units V(FG) of the group algebra FG is locally nilpotent; (ii) the group algebra FG has a finite number of nilpotent elements and V(FG) is an Engel group.
We introduce the product by generators of complex nilpotent Lie algebras, which is a commutative product obtained from a central extension of the direct sum of Lie algebras. We show that the product preserves also the characteristic nilpotence provided that the multiplied algebras are $S$-algebras. In particular, this shows the existence of nonsplit characteristically nilpotent Lie algebras $\frak{h}$ such that the quotient $\frac{\dim \frak{h}-\dim Z(\frak{h})}{\dim Z(\frak{h})} $ is as small as wanted.
Let $A$ be a unital dense algebra of linear mappings on a complex vector space $X$. Let $ϕ=\sum_{i=1}^n M_{a_i,b_i}$ be a locally quasi-nilpotent elementary operator of length $n$ on $A$. We show that, if $\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}$ is locally linearly independent, then the local dimension of $V(ϕ)=\spa\{b_ia_j: 1 \leq i,j \leq n\}$ is at most $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$. If $\lDim V(ϕ)=\frac{n(n-1)}{2} $, then there exists a representation of $ϕ$ as $ϕ=\sum_{i=1}^n M_{u_i,v_i}$ with $v_iu_j=0$ for $i\geq j$. Moreover, we give a complete characterization of locally quasi-nilpotent elementary operators of leng…
In this article, we construct a non-commutative crepant resolution (=NCCR) of a minimal nilpotent orbit closure $\overline{B(1)}$ of type A, and study relations between an NCCR and crepant resolutions $Y$ and $Y^+$ of $\overline{B(1)}$. More precisely, we show that the NCCR is isomorphic to the path algebra of the double Beilinson quiver with certain relations and we reconstruct the crepant resolutions $Y$ and $Y^+$ of $\overline{B(1)}$ as moduli spaces of representations of the quiver. We also study the Kawamata-Namikawa's derived equivalence between crepant resolutions $Y$ and $Y^+$ of $\ove…
A subspace $X$ of a vector space over a field $K$ is hyperinvariant with respect to an endomorphism $f$ of $V$ if it is invariant for all endomorphisms of $V$ that commute with $f$. We assume that $f$ is locally nilpotent, that is, every $ x \in V $ is annihilated by some power of $f$, and that $V$ is an infinite direct sum of $f$-cyclic subspaces. In this note we describe the lattice of hyperinvariant subspaces of $V$. We extend results of Fillmore, Herrero and Longstaff (Linear Algebra Appl. 17 (1977), 125--132) to infinite dimensional spaces.
We give a complete description of degenerations of $3$-dimensional nilpotent algebras, $4$-dimensional nilpotent commutative algebras and $5$-dimensional nilpotent anticommutative algebras over $ \mathbb C$. In particular, we correct several mistakes from the paper `Contractions of low-dimensional nilpotent Jordan algebras' by Ancochea Bermúdez, Fresán and Margalef Bentabol.
Let U(g,e) be the finite W-algebra associated with a nilpotent element e in a simple Lie algebra g and assume that e is induced from a nilpotent element e_0 in a Levi subalgebra l of g. We show that if the finite W-algebra U(l,e_0) has a 1-dimensional representation, then so does U(g,e). For g classical (and in may other cases), we compute the Krull dimension of the largest commutative quotient of U(g,e). Some applications to representation theory of modular counterparts of g are given.
It is well-known that all saturated formations of finite soluble groups are locally defined and, except for the trivial formation, have many different local definitions. I show that for Lie and Leibniz algebras over a field of characteristic 0, the formations of all nilpotent algebras and of all soluble algebras are the only locally defined formations and that the latter has many local definitions. Over a field of non-zero characteristic, a saturated formation of soluble Lie algebras has at most one local definition but a locally defined saturated formation of soluble Leibniz algebras other th…
We show that the finite dimensional nilpotent complex Lie superalgebras g whose injective hulls of simple U(g)-modules are locally Artinian are precisely those whose even part g_0 is isomorphic to a nilpotent Lie algebra with an abelian ideal of codimension 1 or to a direct product of an abelian Lie algebra and a certain 5-dimensional or a certain 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra.
We determine normal forms of the multiplication of four-dimensional anti-commutative algebras over a field $\mathbb K$ of characteristic zero having an analogous family of flags of subalgebras as the four-dimensional non-Lie binary Lie algebras, and hence can be considered as the closest relatives of binary Lie algebras. These algebras are extensions of $\mathbb K$ by the 3-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra and at the same time extensions of a two-dimensional Lie algebra by a two-dimensional abelian algebra. We describe their groups of automorphisms as extensions of a subgroup of the group of …
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $\mathcal A$ an $R$-algebra. An $R$-$\mathcal E$-derivation of $\mathcal A$ is an $R$-linear map of the form $\operatorname{I}-ϕ$ for some $R$-algebra endomorphism $ϕ$ of $\mathcal A$, where $\operatorname{I}$ denotes the identity map of $\mathcal A$. In this paper we discuss some open problems on whether or not the image of a locally finite $R$-derivation or $R$-$\mathcal E$-derivation of $\mathcal A$ is a Mathieu subspace [Z2, Z3] of $\mathcal A$, and whether or not a locally nilpotent $R$-derivation or $R$-$\mathcal E$-derivation of $\mathcal A$ maps every …
A partly (anti-)commutative quiver algebra is a quiver algebra bound by an (anti-)commutativity ideal, that is, a quadratic ideal generated by monomials and (anti-)commutativity relations. We give a combinatorial description of the ideals and the associated generator graphs, from which one can quickly determine if the ideal is admissible or not. We describe the center of a partly (anti-)commutative quiver algebra and state necessary and sufficient conditions for the center to be finitely generated as a K-algebra. As an application, necessary and sufficient conditions for finite generation of t…
Let $\mathbb K$ be a field of characteristic zero and $A$ an integral domain over $\mathbb K.$ The Lie algebra $\Der_{\mathbb K} A$ of all $\mathbb K$-derivations of $A$ carries very important information about the algebra $A.$ This Lie algebra is embedded into the Lie algebra $R\Der_{\mathbb K} A\subseteq \Der_{\mathbb K}R$, where $R={\rm Frac}(A)$ is the fraction field of $A.$ The rank $rk_{R}L$ of a subalgebra $L$ of $R\Der_{\mathbb K} A$ is defined as dimension $\dim_R RL.$ We prove that every locally nilpotent subalgebra $L$ of $R\Der_{\mathbb K} A$ with $rk_{R}L=n$ has a series of ideals…
Using cocycle twists for associative graded algebras, we characterize finite dimensional nilpotent Lie color algebras $L$ graded by arbitrary abelian groups whose enveloping algebras $U(L)$ have the property that the injective hulls of simple right $U(L)$-modules are locally Artinian. We also collect together results on gradings on Lie algebras arising from this characterization.
Let $\mathfrak{n}$ be a locally nilpotent infinite-dimensional Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $\mathrm{U}(\mathfrak{n})$ and $\mathrm{S}(\mathfrak{n})$ be its universal enveloping algebra and its symmetric algebra respectively. Consider the Jacobson topology on the primitive spectrum of $\mathrm{U}(\mathfrak{n})$ and the Poisson topology on the primitive Poisson spectrum of $\mathrm{S}(\mathfrak{n})$. We provide a homeomorphism between the corresponding topological spaces (on the level of points, it gives a bijection between the primitive ideals of $\mathrm{U}(\mathfrak{n})$ and $\mathrm{S…
We give a geometric classification of complex $n$-dimensional $2$-step nilpotent (all, commutative and anticommutative) algebras. Namely, has been found the number of irreducible components and their dimensions. As a corollary, we have a geometric classification of complex $5$-dimensional nilpotent associative algebras. In particular, it has been proven that this variety has $14$ irreducible components and $9$ rigid algebras.
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $A = K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ the polynomial ring, $R = K(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ the field of rational functions, and let $W_n(K) = \Der_{K}A$ be the Lie algebra of all $K$-derivations on $A$. If $D \in W_n(K),$ $D\not =0$ is linear (i.e. of the form $D = \sum_{i,j=1}^n a_{ij}x_j \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}$) we give a description of the centralizer of $D$ in $W_n(K)$ and point out an algorithm for finding generators of $C_{W_n(K)}(D)$ as a module over the ring of constants in case when $D$ is the basic Weitzenboeck derivation. In more gener…
Let $A$ be an algebra over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, let $\d_1, >..., \d_s\in \Der_K(A)$ be {\em commuting locally nilpotent} $K$-derivations such that $\d_i(x_j)=\d_{ij}$, the Kronecker delta, for some elements $x_1,..., x_s\in A$. A set of algebra generators for the algebra $A^\d:= \cap_{i=1}^s\ker (\d_i)$ is found {\em explicitly} and a set of {\em defining relations} for the algebra $A^\d$ is described. Similarly, given a set $\s_1, ..., \s_s\in \Aut_K(A)$ of {\em commuting} $K$-automorphisms of the algebra $A$ such that the maps $\s_i-{\rm id_A}$ are {\em locally nilpotent} and …
The paper gives the complete characterization of all graded nilpotent Lie algebras with infinite-dimensional Tanaka prolongation as extensions of graded nilpotent Lie algebras of lower dimension by means of a commutative ideal. We introduce a notion of weak characteristics of a vector distribution and prove that if a bracket-generating distribution of constant type does not have non-zero complex weak characteristics, then its symmetry algebra is necessarily finite-dimensional. The paper also contains a number of illustrative algebraic and geometric examples including the proof that any metabel…
Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring and $a\in R.$ We introduce and study properties of a functor $aΓ_{a}(-),$ called the locally nilradical on the category of $R$-modules. $aΓ_{a}(-)$ is a generalisation of both the torsion functor (also called section functor) and Baer's lower nilradical for modules. Several local-global properties of the functor $aΓ_{a}(-)$ are established. As an application, results about reduced $R$-modules are obtained and hitherto unknown ring theoretic radicals as well as structural theorems are deduced.
We investigate the notions of weak annihilator and nilpotent associated prime defined by Ouyang and Birkenmeier \cite{OuyangBirkenmeier2012} in the setting of noncommutative rings having PBW bases. We extend several results formulated in the literature concerning annihilators and associated primes of commutative rings and skew polynomial rings to a more general setting of algebras not considered before. We exemplify our results with families of algebras appearing in the theory of enveloping algebras, differential operators on noncommutative spaces, noncommutative algebraic geometry, and theore…
Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, $\mathcal A$ a $K$-algebra and $δ$ a $K$-derivation of $\mathcal A$ or $K$-$\mathcal E$-derivation of $\mathcal A$ (i.e., $δ=\operatorname{Id}_A-ϕ$ for some $K$-algebra endomorphism $ϕ$ of $\mathcal A$). Motivated by the Idempotent conjecture proposed in [Z4], we first show that for every idempotent $e$ lying in both the kernel ${\mathcal A}^δ$ and the image $\operatorname{Im}δ\!:=δ({\mathcal A})$ of $δ$, the principal ideal $(e)\subseteq \operatorname{Im} δ$ if $δ$ is a locally finite $K$-derivation or a locally nilpotent $K$-$\mathcal E$-derivation …
