Structure of the Lie algebras related to those of block

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.

We study a new class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras, which has important applications to the theory of integrable equations. The construction of these algebras is very similar to the one for automorphic functions and this motivates the name automorphic Lie algebras. For automorphic Lie algebras we present bases in which they are quasigraded and all structure constants can be written out explicitly. These algebras have a useful factorisations on two subalgebras similar t...

In this paper I consider locally finite Lie algebras of characteristic zero satisfying the condition that for every finite number of elements $x_{1}, x_{2},..., x_{k}$ of such an algebra $L$ there is finite-dimensional subalgebra $A$ which contains these elements and $L(adA)^n\subset A$ for some integer $n$. For such algebras I prove several structure theorems that can be regarded as generalizations of the classical structure theorems of the finite-dimensional Lie algebras th...

This article explores some simple examples of L-infinity algebras and the construction of miniversal deformations of these structures. Among other things, it is shown that there are two families of nonequivalent L-infinity structures on a 1|1 dimensional vector space, two of which are Lie algebra structures. The main purpose of this work is to provide a simple effective procedure for constructing miniversal deformations, using the examples to illustrate the general technique....

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 $R$.

Divergence-free Lie algebras are originated from the Lie algebras of volume-preserving transformation groups. Xu constructed a certain nongraded generalization, which may not contain any toral Cartan subalgebra. In this paper, we give a complete classification of the generalized weight modules over these algebras with weight multiplicities less than or equal to one.

Let ${\mathcal N}$ be the Lie algebra of all $n\times n$ strictly block upper triangular matrices over a field ${\mathbb F}$ relative to a given partition. In this paper, we give an explicit description of all derivations of ${\mathcal N}$.

Block type Lie algebras have been studied by many authors in the latest twenty years. In this paper, we will study a class of more general Block type Lie algebra $\mathcal{B}(p,q)$, which is a class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebra by using the generalized Balinskii-Novikov's construction method to Witt type Novikov algebra. We study the representation theory for $\mathcal{B}(p,q)$. We classify quasifinite irreducible highest weight $\mathcal{B}(p,q)$-module. We also prove...

3-Lie algebras are constructed by Lie algebras, derivations and linear functions, associative commutative algebras, whose involutions and derivations. Then the 3-Lie algebras are obtained from group algebras $F[G]$. An infinite dimensional simple 3-Lie algebra $(A, [,,]_{\omega, \delta_0})$ and a non-simple 3-Lie algebra $(A, [,,]_{\omega_1, \delta})$ are constructed by Laurent polynomials $A=F[t, t^{-1}]$ and its involutions $\omega$ and $\omega_1$ and derivations $\delta$ a...

We study the algebras of derivations of nilpotent Leibniz algebras of low dimensions.
