We prove Pursell-Shanks type results for the Lie algebra D(M) of all linear differential operators of a smooth manifold M, for its Lie subalgebra D^1(M) of all linear first-order differential operators of M, and for the Poisson algebra S(M)=Pol(T*M) of all polynomial functions on the cotangent bundle T*M, the symbols of the operators in D(M). Chiefly however we provide explicit formulas describing completely the automorphisms of the Lie algebras D^1(M), S(M), and D(M).
We describe the automorphism groups of elliptic Poisson algebras on polynomial algebras in three variables and give an explicit set of generators and defining relations for this group.
Let P be a free Poisson algebra in two variables over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that the automorphisms of P are tame and that the locally nilpotent derivations of P are triangulable.
A skew Laurent polynomial ring R[x^{\pm 1};α] is reversible if it has a reversing automorphism, that is, an automorphism of period two that transposes x and x^{-1} and restricts to an automorphism of R. We study invariants for reversing automorphisms and apply our methods to determine the rings of invariants of reversing automorphisms of two simple skew Laurent polynomial rings, namely a localization of the enveloping algebra of the two-dimensional non-abelian solvable Lie algebra and the coordinate ring of the quantum torus. These two skew Laurent polynomial rings are deformations of Poisson …
Let $k$ be an arbitrary field of characteristic 0. We prove that the group of automorphisms of a free Poisson field $P(x,y)$ in two variables $x,y$ over $k$ is isomorphic to the Cremona group $\mathrm{Cr}_2(k)$. We also prove that the universal enveloping algebra $P(x_1,...,x_n)^e$ of a free Poisson field $P(x_1,...,x_n)$ is a free ideal ring and give a characterization of the Poisson dependence of two elements of $P(x_1,...,x_n)$ via universal derivatives.
Kanel-Belov and Kontsevich's conjecture in \cite[Conjecture 1]{BeKo} is proved: The automorphism group of the $n$-th Weyl algebra is isomorphic to the Poisson automorphism group of the $n$-th Poisson Weyl algebra.
We prove a rigidity theorem for the Poisson automorphisms of the function fields of tori with quadratic Poisson structures over fields of characteristic 0. It gives an effective method for classifying the full Poisson automorphism groups of ${\mathbb{N}}$-graded connected cluster algebras equipped with Gekhtman-Shapiro-Vainshtein Poisson structures. Based on this, we classify the groups of algebraic Poisson automorphisms of the open Schubert cells of the full flag varieties of semisimple algebraic groups over fields of characteristic 0, equipped with the standard Poisson structures. Their coor…
Let $P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))$ be the Poisson enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra $\mathrm{sl}_2(K)$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic zero. The quotient algebras $ $ $P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))/(C_P-λ)$, where $C_P$ is the standard Casimir element of $\mathrm{sl}_2(K)$ in $P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))$ and $0\neq λ\in K$, are proven to be simple in \cite{UZh}. Using a result by L. Makar-Limanov \cite{ML90}, we describe generators of the automorphism group of $P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))/(C_P-λ)$ and represent this group as an amalgamated product of its subgroups. Moreover, using similar results b…
In this paper, we prove that every invertible $2$-local or local automorphism of a simple generalized Witt algebra over any field of characteristic $0$ is an automorphism. In particular, every $2$-local or local automorphism of Witt algebras $W_n$ is an automorphism for all $n\in \mathbb{N}$. But some simple generalized Witt algebras indeed have $2$-local (and local) automorphisms that are not automorphisms.
In the paper we give a complete classification of $2$-dimensional evolution algebras over algebraically closed fields, describe their groups of automorphisms and derivation algebras.
We use the discriminant to determine the automorphism groups of some noncommutative algebras, and we prove that a family of noncommutative algebras has tractable automorphism groups.
We define a nonassociative generalization of cyclic Azumaya algebras employing skew polynomial rings $D[t;σ]$, where $D$ is an Azumaya algebra of constant rank with center $C$ and $σ$ an automorphism of $D$, such that $σ|_{C}$ has finite order. The automorphisms of these algebras are canonically induced by ring automorphisms of the skew polynomial ring $D[t;σ]$ used in their construction. We achieve a description of their inner automorphisms. Results on the automorphisms of classical Azumaya algebras and central simple algebras of this type are obtained as special cases.
In this paper, we determine the derivation algebra and automorphism group of the twisted N=2 superconformal algebra. Then we generalize the relative results to the generalized twisted N=2 superconformal algebra in the final section.
In this article, we give a new class of automorphisms of Leavitt path algebras of arbitrary graphs. Consequently, we obtain Anick type automorphisms of these Leavitt path algebras and new irreducible representations of Leavitt algebras of type $(1, n)$.
In this paper, we describe the automorphisms of solvable Leibniz algebras with null-filiform nilradical. Moreover we describe the automorphisms of solvable Leibniz algebras with naturally graded non-Lie filiform nilradicals, whose the dimension of complementary space is maximal.
In this paper, the problem formulated in [8] is solved. We prove, that the group of automorphisms of the category of free associative algebras is generated by semi-inner and mirror automorphisms
The split quartic Cayley algebra is a structurable algebra which has been used to give constructions of Lie algebras of type D4. Here, we calculate its group of automorphisms, its algebra of derivations and its gradings.
We study automorphisms of the free associative algebra K<x,y,z> over a field K which fix the variable z. We describe the structure of the group of z-tame automorphisms and derive algorithms which recognize z-tame automorphisms and z-tame coordinates.
Let ${\mathfrak g}$ be a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $0$. A linear map $φ:{\mathfrak g}\to {\mathfrak g}$ is called a local automorphism if for every $x$ in ${\mathfrak g}$ there is an automorphism $φ_x$ of ${\mathfrak g}$ such that $φ(x)=φ_x(x)$. We prove that a linear map $φ:{\mathfrak g}\to {\mathfrak g}$ is local automorphism if and only if it is an automorphism or an anti-automorphism.
The present work is devoted to the extension of some general properties of automorphisms and derivations which are known for Lie algebras to finite dimensional complex Leibniz algebras. The analogues of the Jordan-Chevalley decomposition for derivations and the multiplicative decomposition for automorphisms of finite dimensional complex Leibniz algebras are obtained.
In this paper we prove that any local automorphism on the solvable Leibniz algebras with null-filiform and naturally graded non-Lie filiform nilradicals, whose dimension of complementary space is maximal is an automorphism. Furthermore, the same problem concerning 2-local automorphisms of such algebras is investigated and we obtain the analogously results for 2-local automorphisms.
Let $R$ be a commutative, indecomposable ring with identity and $(P,\le)$ a partially ordered set. Let $FI(P)$ denote the finitary incidence algebra of $(P,\le)$ over $R$. We will show that, in most cases, local automorphisms of $FI(P)$ are actually $R$-algebra automorphisms. In fact, the existence of local automorphisms which fail to be $R$-algebra automorphisms will depend on the chosen model of set theory and will require the existence of measurable cardinals. We will discuss local automorphisms of cartesian products as a special case in preparation of the general result.
We prove that the group of tame automorphisms of a free Lie algebra (as well as of a free anticommutative algebra) rank 3 over an arbitrary integral domain has the structure of an amalgamated free product. We construct an example of a wild automorphism of a free Lie algebra (as well as of a free anticommutative algebra) of rank 3 over an arbitrary Euclidean ring analogous to the Anick automorphism for free associative algebras.
We study automorphism groups of formal matrix algebras. We also consider automorphisms of ordinary matrix algebras (in particular, triangular matrix algebras).
Over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that the Freiheitssatz holds for brace algebras, the word problem for the brace algebras with a single defining relation is decidable, two generated subalgebras of free brace algebras are free, and that automorphisms of two generated free brace algebras are tame.
In this paper, we determine the derivation algebra and the automorphism group of the original deformative ${\rm Schr\ddot{o}dinger}$-{\rm Virasoro} algebras which is the semi-direct product Lie algebra of the Witt algebra and its tensor density module ${\rm I^g}(a,b)$.
We compute the graded automorphisms of the upper triangular matrices, viewed as associative, Lie and Jordan algebras. We compute also the so called self-equivalences and Weyl and diagonal groups for every grading.
Let L be the free m-generated metabelian nilpotent of class c Lie algebra over a field of characteristic 0. An automorphism f of L is called normal if f(I)=I for every ideal I of the algebra L. Such automorphisms form a normal subgroup N(L) of Aut(L) containing the group of inner automorphisms. We describe the group of normal automorphisms of L and the quotient group of Aut(L) modulo N(L).
In this paper is devoted to nilpotent finite-dimensional evolution algebras E with $dimE^2 = dimE-1$. We described Lie algebras associated with evolution algebras whose nilindex is maximal. Moreover, in terms of this Lie algebra we fully construct nilpotent evolution algebra with maximal index of nilpotency. Furthermore, this result allowed us fully characterize all local and 2-local derivations of the considered evolution algebras. All automorphisms and local automorphisms of the nilpotent evolution algebras with maximal nilindex are found.
A survey of some properties of Okubo algebras is presented. Emphasis is put on automorphisms and derivations of these algebras, especially in characteristic three, where the situation is more involved and interesting. In this case, the Okubo algebra is closely related to a nodal noncommutative Jordan algebra. Dedicated to Helmut Strade on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
We describe the groups of inner and outer automorphisms of the free metabelian nilpotent Lie algebra of finite rank over a field of characteristic 0. To obtain this result we first describe the groups of inner and continuous outer automorphisms of the completion with respect to the formal power series topology of the free metabelian Lie algebra finite rank.
We describe derivations and automorphisms of infinite tensor products of matrix algebras. Using this description we show that for a countable--dimensional locally matrix algebra $A$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$ the dimension of the Lie algebra of outer derivations of $A$ and the order of the group of outer automorphisms of $A$ are both equal to $|\mathbb{F}|^{\aleph_0},$ where $|\mathbb{F}|$ is the cardinality of the field $\mathbb{F}.$
We construct an analogue of the Nagata automorphism of free nonassociative algebras and free commutative algebras of rank two over a Euclidean domain and prove that it is wild.
In this paper we consider some classical varieties of linear algebras over the field which has characteristic 0. For every considered variety we take a category of the finite generated free algebras of this variety. And for every this category we calculate the quotient group of the group of the all automorphisms of this category over the subgroup of the all inner automorphisms. This quotient group measures difference between the geometric equivalence and automorphic equivalence of algebras from this variety.
We study the automorphism group of an idempotent evolution algebra, show that any finite group can be the automorphism group of an evolution algebra, and describe certain evolution algebras with given automorphism groups. In particular, we classify $n$-dimensional idempotent evolution algebras whose automorphism group is isomorphic to the symmetric group $S_n$, and classify idempotent evolution algebras with maximal diagonal automorphism subgroups.
In this paper, a simple Lie algebra, referred to as the completed Witt Lie algebra, is introduced. Its derivation algebra and automorphism group are completely described. As a byproduct, it is obtained that the first cohomology group of this Lie algebra with coefficients in its adjoint module is trivial. Furthermore, we completely determine the conjugate classes of this Lie algebra under its automorphism group, and also obtain that this Lie algebra does not contain any nonzero ad-locally finite element.
The inversion formula is given for automorphisms of the Weyl algebras with polynomial coefficients over a field of characteristic zero. The theorem of Gabber on the degree of polynomial automorphism is extended. It is proved that any automorphism of the Weyl algebra with polynomial coefficients is determined by its left (right) faces (extending the result of J. H. McKay and S. S.-S. Wang for polynomial automorphisms).
The present paper is devoted to the description of local and 2-local automorphisms on Cayley algebras over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$. Given a Cayley algebra $\mathcal{C}$ with norm $n$, let $O(\mathcal{C},n)$ be the corresponding orthogonal group. We prove that the group of all local automorphisms of $\mathcal{C}$ coincides with the group $\{φ\in O(\mathcal{C},n)\mid φ(1)=1\}.$ Further we prove that the behavior of 2-local automorphisms depends on the Cayley algebra being split or division. Every 2-local automorphism on the split Cayley algebra is an automorphism, i.e. they form the exce…
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.
We prove that every $2$-local automorphism on a finite-dimensional semi-simple Lie algebra $\mathcal{L}$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is an automorphism. We also show that each finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra $\mathcal{L}$ with $\dim \mathcal{L}\geq 2$ admits a $2$-local automorphism which is not an automorphism.
