We initiate a study on a range of new generalized derivations of finite-dimensional Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. This new generalization of derivations has an analogue in the theory of associative prime rings and unites many well-known generalized derivations that have already appeared extensively in the study of Lie algebras and other nonassociative algebras. After exploiting fundamental properties, we introduce and analyze their interiors, especially focusing on the rationality of the corresponding Hilbert series. Applying techniques in computational ideal theory we develop an approach to explicitly compute these new generalized derivations for the three-dimensional special linear Lie algebra over the complex field.
We investigate generalized derivations of $n$-BiHom-Lie algebras. We introduce and study properties of derivations, $( α^{s},β^{r}) $-derivations and generalized derivations. We also study quasiderivations of $n$-BiHom-Lie algebras. Generalized derivations of $(n+1)$-BiHom-Lie algebras induced by $ n $-BiHom-Lie algebras are also considered.
In this paper, we study the structure of 3-Lie algebras with involutive derivations. We prove that if $A$ is an $m$-dimensional 3-Lie algebra with an involutive derivation $D$, then there exists a compatible 3-pre-Lie algebra $(A, \{ , , , \}_D)$ such that $A$ is the sub-adjacent 3-Lie algebra, and there is a local cocycle $3$-Lie bialgebraic structure on the $2m$-dimensional semi-direct product 3-Lie algebra $A\ltimes_{ad^*} A^*$, which is associated to the adjoint representation $(A, ad)$. By means of involutive derivations, the skew-symmetric solution of the 3-Lie classical Yang-Baxter equa…
We study the representation theory of finite-dimensional $ω$-Lie algebras over the complex field. We derive an $ω$-Lie version of the classical Lie's theorem, i.e., any finite-dimensional irreducible module of a soluble $ω$-Lie algebra is one-dimensional. We also prove that indecomposable modules of some three-dimensional $ω$-Lie algebras could be parametrized by the complex field and nilpotent matrices. We introduce the notion of a tailed derivation of a nonassociative algebra $g$ and prove that if $g$ is a Lie algebra, then there exists a one-to-one correspondence between tailed derivations …
For any $n$-dimensional 3-Lie algebra $A$ over a field of characteristic zero with an involutive derivation $D$, we investigate the structure of the 3-Lie algebra $B_1=A\ltimes_{ad^*} A^* $ associated with the coadjoint representation $(A^*, ad^*)$. We then discuss the structure of the dual 3-Lie algebra $B_2$ of the local cocycle 3-Lie bialgebra $(A\ltimes_{ad^*} A^*, Δ)$. By means of the involutive derivation $D$, we construct the $4n$-dimensional Manin triple $(B_1\oplus B_2,$ $ [ \cdot, \cdot, \cdot]_1,$ $ [ \cdot, \cdot, \cdot]_2,$ $ B_1, B_2)$ of 3-Lie algebras, and provide concrete mult…
Generalized derivations, quasiderivations and quasicentroid of $3$-algebras are introduced, and basic relations between them are studied. Structures of quasiderivations and quasicentroid of $3$-Lie algebras, which contains a maximal diagonalized tours, are systematically investigated. The main results are: for all $3$-Lie algebra $A$, 1) the generalized derivation algebra $GDer(A)$ is the sum of quasiderivation algebra $QDer(A)$ and quasicentroid $QΓ(A)$; 2) quasiderivations of $A$ can be embedded as derivations in a larger algebra; 3) quasiderivation algebra $QDer(A)$ normalizer quasicentroid…
The aim of this paper is to generalise the construction of $n$-ary Hom-Lie bracket by means of an $(n-2)$-cochain of given Hom-Lie algebra to super case inducing a $n$-Hom-Lie superalgebras. We study the notion of generalized derivation and Rota-Baxter operators of $n$-ary Hom-Nambu and $n$-Hom-Lie superalgebras and their relation with generalized derivation and Rota-Baxter operators of Hom-Lie superalgebras. We also introduce the notion of $3$-Hom-pre-Lie superalgebras which is the generalization of $3$-Hom-pre-Lie algebras.
In this paper, we introduce the notion Lie-derivation. This concept generalizes derivations for non-Lie Leibniz algebras. We study these Lie-derivations in the case where their image is contained in the Lie-center, call them Lie-central derivations. We provide a characterization of Lie-stem Leibniz algebras by their Lie-central derivations, and prove several properties of the Lie algebra of Lie-central derivations for Lie-nilpotent Leibniz algebras of class 2. We also introduce ${\sf ID}_*-Lie$-derivations. A ${\sf ID}_*-Lie$-derivation of a Leibniz algebra G is a Lie-derivation of G in which …
The quasi-filiform Lie algebras of nonzero rank are described. The classifications of filiform and quasi-filiform naturally graded algebras are corrected.
We study classical R-matrices D for Lie algebras L such that D is also a derivation of L. This yields derivation double Lie algebras (L,D). The motivation comes from recent work on post-Lie algebra structures on pairs of Lie algebras arising in the study of nil-affine actions of Lie groups. We prove that there are no nontrivial simple derivation double Lie algebras, and study related Lie algebra identities for arbitrary Lie algebras.
The concept of derivation for Lie-Yamaguti algebras is generalized in this paper. A quasi-derivation of an LY-algebra is embedded as derivation in a larger LY-algebra. The relationship between quasi-derivations and robustness of Lie-Yamaguti algebras has been studied.
A quadratic Lie conformal algebra corresponds to a Hamiltonian pair in \cite{GD}, which plays fundamental roles in completely integrable systems. Moreover, it also corresponds to certain compatible pairs of a Lie algebra and a Novikov algebra which was called Gel'fand-Dorfman bialgebra by Xu in \cite{X1}. In this paper, central extensions and conformal derivations of quadratic Lie conformal algebras are studied in terms of Gel'fand-Dorfman bialgebras. It is shown that central extensions and conformal derivations of a quadratic Lie conformal algebra are related with some bilinear forms and some…
We show that in the class of solvable Lie algebras there exist algebras which admit local derivations which are not ordinary derivation and also algebras for which every local derivation is a derivation. We found necessary and sufficient conditions under which any local derivation of solvable Lie algebras with abelian nilradical and one-dimensional complementary space is a derivation. Moreover, we prove that every local derivation on a finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebra with model nilradical and maximal dimension of complementary space is a derivation.
In the present paper we study local and 2-local derivations of locally finite split simple Lie algebras. Namely, we show that every local and 2-local derivation on such Lie algebra is a derivation.
$N$-derivation is the natural generalization of derivation and triple derivation. Let ${\cal L}$ be a finitely generated Lie algebra graded by a finite dimensional Cartan subalgebra. In this paper, a sufficient condition for Lie $N$-derivation algebra of ${\cal L}$ coinciding with Lie derivation algebra of ${\cal L}$ is given. As applications, any $N$-derivation of Schrödinger-Virasoro algebra, generalized Witt algebras, Kac-Moody algebras and their Borel subalgebras, is a derivation.
The ideals of the Lie algebras of unitriangular polynomial derivations are classified. An isomorphism criterion is given for the Lie factor algebras of the Lie algebras of unitriangular polynomial derivations.
In this paper, we focus on the $(\si,\t)$-derivation theory of Lie conformal superalgebras. Firstly, we study the fundamental properties of conformal $(\si,\t)$-derivations. Secondly, we mainly research the interiors of conformal $G$-derivations. Finally, we discuss the relationships between the conformal $(\si,\t)$-derivations and some generalized conformal derivations of Lie conformal superalgebras.
We prove that every local derivation on a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is a derivation. We also give examples of finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras $\mathcal{L}$ with $\dim\mathcal{L}\geq 3$ which admit local derivations which are not derivations.
In this article we develop an approach to deformations of the Witt and Virasoro algebras based on $σ$-derivations. We show that $σ$-twisted Jacobi type identity holds for generators of such deformations. For the $σ$-twisted generalization of Lie algebras modeled by this construction, we develop a theory of central extensions. We show that our approach can be used to construct new deformations of Lie algebras and their central extensions, which in particular include naturally the $q$-deformations of the Witt and Virasoro algebras associated to $q$-difference operators, providing also correspond…
The present paper is devoted to study 2-local derivations on infinite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that all 2-local derivations on the Witt algebra as well as on the positive Witt algebra are (global)derivations, and give an example of infinite-dimensional Lie algebra with a 2-local derivation which is not a derivation.
Without the faithful assumption, we prove that every Jordan derivation on a class of path algebras of quivers without oriented cycles is a derivation and that every Lie derivation on such kinds of algebras is of the standard form.
We continue the algebraic study of almost inner derivations of Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero and determine these derivations for free nilpotent Lie algebras, for almost abelian Lie algebras, for Lie algebras whose solvable radical is abelian and for several classes of filiform nilpotent Lie algebras. We find a family of $n$-dimensional characteristically nilpotent filiform Lie algebras $\mathfrak{f}_n$, for all $n\ge 13$, all of whose derivations are almost inner. Finally we compare the almost inner derivations of Lie algebras considered over two different fields $K\supseteq…
We study almost inner derivations of Lie algebras, which were introduced by Gordon and Wilson in their work on isospectral deformations of compact solvmanifolds. We compute all almost inner derivations for low-dimensional Lie algebras, and introduce the concept of fixed basis vectors for proving that all almost inner derivations are inner for $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras determined by graphs, free $2$ and $3$-step nilpotent Lie algebras, free metabelian nilpotent Lie algebras on two generators, almost abelian Lie algebras and triangular Lie algebras. On the other hand we also exhibit famili…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of a derivation of a Hom-Lie algebra and construct the corresponding strict Hom-Lie 2-algebra, which is called the derivation Hom-Lie 2-algebra. As applications, we study non-abelian extensions of Hom-Lie algebras. We show that iso- morphism classes of diagonal non-abelian extensions of a Hom-Lie algebra g by a Hom-Lie algebra h are in one-to-one correspondence with homotopy classes of morphisms from g to the derivation Hom-Lie 2-algebra DER(h).
Motivated by the works of Wang [Y. Wang, \textit{Lie (Jordan) derivations of arbitrary triangular algebras,} Aequationes Mathematicae, \textbf{93} (2019), 1221-1229] and Moafian et al. [F. Moafian and H. R. Ebrahimi Vishki, \textit{Lie higher derivations on triangular algebras revisited,} Filomat, \textbf{30}(12) (2016), 3187-3194.], we shall study Lie higher derivations of arbitrary triangular algebras. In fact, it is shown that every Lie higher derivation on an arbitrary triangular algebra is proper, using the notion of maximal left (right) ring of quotients.
Jacobson proved that if a Lie algebra admits an invertible derivation, it must be nilpotent. He also suspected, though incorrectly, that the converse might be true: that every nilpotent Lie algebra has an invertible derivation. We prove that a Lie algebra is nilpotent if and only if it admits an invertible Leibniz-derivation. The proofs are elementary in nature and are based on well-known techniques.
The purpose of this paper is to extend the cohomology and conformal derivation theories of the classical Lie conformal algebras to Lie conformal superalgebras. Firstly, we construct the semidirect product of a Lie conformal superalgebra and its conformal module, and study derivations of this semidirect product. Secondly, we develop cohomology theory of Lie conformal superalgebras and discuss some applications to the study of deformations of Lie conformal superalgebras. Finally, we introduce generalized derivations of Lie conformal superalgebras and study their properties.
In the present paper we prove that every 2-local inner derivation on the Lie ring of skew-adjoint matrices over a commutative $*$-ring is an inner derivation. We also apply our technique to various Lie algebras of infinite-dimensional skew-adjoint matrix-valued maps on a set and prove that every 2-local spatial derivation on such algebras is a spatial derivation. We also show that every local spatial derivation on the above Lie algebras is a derivation.
We consider finite-dimensional complex Lie algebras admitting a periodic derivation, i.e., a nonsingular derivation which has finite multiplicative order. We show that such Lie algebras are at most two-step nilpotent and give several characterizations, such as the existence of gradings by sixth roots of unity, or the existence of a nonsingular derivation whose inverse is again a derivation. We also obtain results on the existence of periodic prederivations. In this context we study a generalization of Engel-4-Lie algebras.
In this paper we describe the derivations of orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras over a superring. In particular, we derive sufficient conditions under which the derivations can be expressed as a semidirect product of inner and outer derivations. We then present some examples for which these conditions hold.
We study $δ$-derivations -- a construction simultaneously generalizing derivations and centroid. First, we compute $δ$-derivations of current Lie algebras and of modular Zassenhaus algebra. This enables us to provide examples of Lie algebras having 1/2-derivations which are divisors of zero, thus answering negatively a question of Filippov. Second, we note that $δ$-derivations allow, in some circumstances, to construct examples of non-semigroup gradings of Lie algebras, in addition to the recent ones discovered by Elduque. Third, we note that utilizing the construction of the Grassmann envelop…
In this paper, we generalize the results about generalized derivations of Lie algebras to the case of BiHom-Lie algebras. In particular we give the classification of generalized derivations of Heisenberg BiHom-Lie algebras. The definition of the generalized derivation depends on some parameters $ (λ,μ,γ)\in \mathbb{C}^{3}. $ In particular for $(λ,μ,γ)=(1,1,1)$, we obtain classical concept of derivation of BiHom-Lie algebra and for $(λ,μ,γ)=(1,1,0) $ we obtain the centroid of BiHom-Lie algebra. We give classifications of $ 2 $-dimensional BiHom-Lie algebra, centroides and derivations of $ 2 $-d…
In this paper, we study 3-Lie algebras with derivations. We call the pair consisting of a 3-Lie algebra and a distinguished derivation by the 3-LieDer pair. We define a cohomology theory for 3-LieDer pair with coefficients in a representation. We study central extensions of a 3-LieDer pair and show that central extensions are classified by the second cohomology of the 3-LieDer pair with coefficients in the trivial representation. We generalize Gerstenhaber's formal deformation theory to 3-LieDer pairs in which we deform both the 3-Lie bracket and the distinguished derivation.
In this paper, at first the construction of Lie higher derivations and higher derivations on a generalized matrix algebra were characterized; then the conditions under which a Lie higher derivation on generalized matrix algebras is proper are provided. Finally, the applications of the findings are discussed.
For a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ related to a quantum torus, we compute its automorphisms, derivations and universal central extension. This Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ is isomorphic to a subalgebra of the Lie algebra of derivations over the quantum torus, and moreover contains a subalgebra isomorphic to the centerless higher rank Virasoro algebra.
Motivated by the Cheung's elaborate work [Linear Multilinear Algebra, 51 (2003), 299-310], we investigate the construction of a Lie derivation on a generalized matrix algebra and apply it to give a characterization for such a Lie derivation to be proper. Our approach not only provides a direct proof for some known results in the theory, but also it presents several sufficient conditions assuring the properness of Lie derivations on certain generalized matrix algebras.
The purpose of this paper is to extend the cohomology and conformal derivation theories of the classical Lie conformal algebras to Hom-Lie conformal algebras. In this paper, we develop cohomology theory of Hom-Lie conformal algebras and discuss some applications to the study of deformations of regular Hom-Lie conformal algebras. Also, we introduce $α^k$-derivations of multiplicative Hom-Lie conformal algebras and study their properties.
Classical contact Lie algebras are the fundamental algebraic structures on the manifolds of contact elements of configuration spaces in classical mechanics. Xu introduced a large category of contact simple Lie algebras which are related to locally finite derivations and are in general not finitely graded. The isomorphism classes of these Lie algebras were determined in a previous paper by Xu and Su. In this paper, the derivation algebras and the 2-cohomology groups of these Lie algebras are determined, and it is obtained that the 2-cohomology groups of these Lie algebras are all trivial.
It is well known that n-Hom Lie superalgebras are certain generalizations of n-Lie algebras. This paper is devoted to investigate the generalized derivations of multiplicative n-Hom Lie superalgebras. We generalize the main results of Leger and Luks to the case of multiplicative n-Hom Lie superalgebras. Firstly, we review some concepts associated with a multiplicative n-Hom Lie superalgebra $N$. Furthermore, we give the definitions of the generalized derivations, quasiderivations, center derivations, centroids and quasicentroids. Obviously, we have the following tower $ZDer(N)\subseteq Der(N)\…
We study solvable Lie algebras in prime characteristic $p$ that admit non-singular derivations. We show that Jacobson's Theorem remains true if the quotients of the derived series have dimension less than~$p$. We also study the structure of Lie algebras with non-singular derivations in which the derived subalgebra is abelian and has codimension~one. The paper presents some new examples of solvable, but not nilpotent, Lie algebras of derived length~3 with non-singular derivations.
In this paper, we first study derivations in non nilpotent Lie triple algebras. We determine the structure of derivation algebra according to whether the algebra admits an idempotent or a pseudo-idempotent. We study the multiplicative structure of non nilpotent dimensionally nilpotent Lie triple algebras. We show that when $n=2p+1$ the adapted basis coincides with the canonical basis of the gametic algebra $G(2p+2,2)$ or this one obviously associated to a pseudo-idempotent and if $n=2p$ then the algebra is either one of the precedent case or a conservative Bernstein algebra.
The aim of this article is to discuss the $n$-derivation algebras of Lie color algebras. It is proved that, if the base ring contains $\frac{1}{n-1}$, $L$ is a perfect Lie color algebra with zero center, then every triple derivation of $L$ is a derivation, and every $n$-derivation of the derivation algebra $nDer(L))$ is an inner derivation.
In the present paper we prove the existence outer derivations finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebras with nilradical of maximal rank and complementary subspace to nilardical of dimension less than rank of the nilradical.
In this paper, we study triple derivations and triple homomorphisms of perfect Lie superalgebras over a commutative ring $R$. It is proved that, if the base ring contains $\frac{1}{2}$, $L$ is a perfect Lie superalgebra with zero center, then every triple derivation of $L$ is a derivation, and every triple derivation of the derivation algebra $ Der (L)$ is an inner derivation. Let $L,~L^{'}$ be Lie superalgebras over a commutative ring $R$, the notion of triple homomorphism from $L$ to $L^{'}$ is introduced. We proved that, under certain assumptions, homomorphisms, anti-homomorphisms, and sums…
In this paper, we give some basic properties of the generalized derivation algebra ${\rm GDer}(L)$ of a Hom-Lie superalgebra $L$. In particular, we prove that ${\rm GDer}(L) = {\rm QDer}(L) + {\rm QC}(L)$, the sum of the quasiderivation algebra and the quasicentroid. We also prove that ${\rm QDer}(L)$ can be embedded as derivations in a larger Hom-Lie superalgebra.
Let $R$ be a Lie conformal algebra. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the conformal derivation algebra $CDer(R)$, the conformal quasiderivation algebra $QDer(R)$ and the generalized conformal derivation algebra $GDer(R)$. The generalized conformal derivation algebra is a natural generalization of the conformal derivation algebra. Obviously, we have the following tower $CDer(R)\subseteq QDer(R)\subseteq GDer(R)\subseteq gc(R)$, where $gc(R)$ is the general Lie conformal algebra. Furthermore, we mainly research the connection of these generalized conformal derivations. Finally, the con…
We investigate the action of Schur algebra on the Lie algebras of derivations of free Lie algebras and operad structures constructed from it. We also show that the Lie algebra of derivations is generated by quadratic derivations together with the action of the Schur operad. Applications to certain subgroups of the automorphism group of a finitely generated free group are given as well.
In the present paper we prove that every 2-local inner derivation on the Lie ring of skew-symmetric matrices over a commutative ring is an inner derivation. We also apply our technique to various Lie algebras of infinite dimensional skew-adjoint matrix-valued maps on a set and prove that every 2-local spatial derivation on such algebras is a spatial derivation.
In this paper we provide some conditions under which a Lie derivation on a trivial extension algebra is proper, that is, it can be decomposed into the sum of a derivation and a center valued map. We extend some known results on the properness of Lie derivations of triangular algebras. Some illuminating examples are also included.
In this paper we shall consider the Lie algebra of column-finite infinite matrices indexed by positive integers $\mathbb{N}$, describe the lattice of its ideals for arbitrary field $K$ and study its derivations over any commutative, unital ring $R$.
