The algebraic classification of five-dimensional nilpotent right alternative algebras

Abstract

We develop the method of central extensions (the Skjelbred--Sund method) for nilpotent right alternative algebras over the field of complex numbers and apply it to obtain the algebraic classification of five-dimensional nilpotent right alternative algebras. More precisely, we classify, up to isomorphism, all complex five-dimensional nilpotent right alternative algebras that have no annihilator component (that is, which are not a direct sum of a smaller algebra and a one-dimensional algebra with zero product) and which are not $2$-step nilpotent. Every such algebra is a non-split central extension of a nontrivial nilpotent right alternative algebra of dimension three (by a two-dimensional space) or of dimension four (by a one-dimensional space). For each of the relevant three- and four-dimensional algebras we compute the second cohomology space, the automorphism group and its action on the second cohomology, and we determine all orbits that give non-split extensions. The resulting list consists of $124$ algebras and families of algebras; it contains $29$ algebras with two-dimensional annihilator and $95$ algebras with one-dimensional annihilator.

Local (Anti-)Superderivations on Nilpotent Lie Superalgebras

In this paper, we study local superderivations and local anti-superderivations of finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie superalgebras over a field $\mathbb F$ with $\operatorname{char}\mathbb F\neq2$. First, we prove that every finite-dimensional two-step nilpotent Lie superalgebra admits pure local superderivations and pure local anti-superderivations (namely, local (anti-)superderivations that are not (anti-)superderivations). For nilpotent Lie superalgebras of nilpotency index greater than two, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of pure local superderivations and pure local anti-superderivations. In particular, we prove that every three-step nilpotent Lie superalgebra admits a pure local superderivation.

Affine Schur--Weyl theory for loop Semigroups and polynomial representations

Classical Schur--Weyl duality plays a fundamental role in the representation theory of general linear and symmetric groups. In this paper, we develop an affine Schur--Weyl theory for the Laurent polynomial loop semigroup. Let $\hat G_K(n)$ denote the Laurent polynomial loop semigroup inside the loop group $GL_n(K((t)))$ over a field $K$, and let $\hat S_K(n,r)$ be the affine Schur algebra. The natural action of $\hat G_K(n)$ on the affine tensor space $Ω_K^{\otimes r}$ induces an algebra homomorphism $K\hat G_K(n)\rightarrow \hat S_K(n,r).$ We prove that this homomorphism is surjective for every field $K$ satisfying $|K|>r$. Furthermore, we establish the double centralizer property for affine Schur algebras over unique factorization domains for all $n\geq2$. For $n\geq2$ and any field $K$ with $|K|>r$, this yields the corresponding centralizer property for $\hat G_K(n)$. In contrast, for $n=1$ and $r\geq2$, the corresponding natural homomorphism is not surjective over any field. For $n\geq 2$, we use the double centralizer theorem to determine the center of the affine Schur algebra and, when $K$ is a field with $|K|>r$, show that $\hatζ_{r,K}$ maps the center of $K\hat G_K(n)$ onto it. Over an algebraically closed field $K$ of arbitrary characteristic, we prove that every finite-dimensional irreducible $\hat S_K(n,r)$-module is a tensor product of evaluation modules. Moreover, we obtain explicit character formulas expressing these irreducible characters as products of characters of irreducible classical Schur algebra modules. Finally, we study polynomial representations of $\hat G_K(n)$ over algebraically closed fields $K$, and classify its finite-dimensional irreducible polynomial representations. For finite fields $\mathbb F_q$ with $q>r$, this yields a classification in the defining-characteristic setting.

Structure theory of finite solvable Lie conformal algebras

We develop a structure theory of finite solvable Lie conformal algebras. It is proved that every such algebra admits a Cartan subalgebra, and any two Cartan subalgebras are conjugate by a finite product of exponentials of nilpotent zero modes of elements of the derived algebra. Applied to finite vertex algebras, this yields inner conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras, answering a question of D'Andrea and Marchei. The nilradical and solvable radical of an arbitrary finite Lie conformal algebra are shown to be saturated and invariant under ordinary and conformal derivations. For finite free Lie conformal algebras, we prove a simultaneous diagonalization theorem for conformal tori and characterize the existence of a nonzero torus by explicit identities for constant weights. An example demonstrates that maximal conformal tori of a finite nilpotent Lie conformal algebra can have different ranks, so that conjugacy fails in general. The totally saturated null-filiform Lie conformal algebras admitting a nonzero conformal torus are classified. For each algebra in this classification, we prove that maximal conformal tori have rank one and that the maximal solvable extension with the prescribed nilradical is unique (up to isomorphism) and is the semidirect product with a maximal conformal torus.
