Engel-like Characterization of Radicals in Finite Dimensional Lie Algebras and Finite Groups

چکیده
A classical theorem of R. Baer describes the nilpotent radical of a finite group G as the set of all Engel elements, i.e. elements y ∈ G such that for any x ∈ G the nth commutator [x, y, . . . , y] equals 1 for n big enough. We obtain a characterization of the solvable radical of a finite dimensional Lie algebra defined over a field of characteristic zero in similar terms. We suggest a conjectural description of the solvable radical of a finite group as the set of Engel-like elements and reduce this conjecture to the case of a finite simple group.

The structure of a pair of nilpotent Lie algebras
Assume that $(N,L)$, is a pair of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras, in which $L$ is non-abelian and $N$ is an ideal in $L$ and also $mathcal{M}(N,L)$ is the Schur multiplier of the pair $(N,L)$. Motivated by characterization of the pairs $(N,L)$ of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras by their Schur multipliers (Arabyani, et al. 2014) we prove some properties of a pair of nilpoten...
متن کاملOn permutably complemented subalgebras of finite dimensional Lie algebras
Let $L$ be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra. We say a subalgebra $H$ of $L$ is permutably complemented in $L$ if there is a subalgebra $K$ of $L$ such that $L=H+K$ and $Hcap K=0$. Also, if every subalgebra of $L$ is permutably complemented in $L$, then $L$ is called completely factorisable. In this article, we consider the influence of these concepts on the structure of a Lie algebra, in partic...
متن کاملOn dimension of a special subalgebra of derivations of nilpotent Lie algebras
Let $L$ be a Lie algebra, $mathrm{Der}(L)$ be the set of all derivations of $L$ and $mathrm{Der}_c(L)$ denote the set of all derivations $alphainmathrm{Der}(L)$ for which $alpha(x)in [x,L]:={[x,y]vert yin L}$ for all $xin L$. We obtain an upper bound for dimension of $mathrm{Der}_c(L)$ of the finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra $L$ over algebraically closed fields. Also, we classi...
متن کاملArithmetic Deformation Theory of Lie Algebras
This paper is devoted to deformation theory of graded Lie algebras over Z or Zl with finite dimensional graded pieces. Such deformation problems naturally appear in number theory. In the first part of the paper, we use Schlessinger criteria for functors on Artinian local rings in order to obtain universal deformation rings for deformations of graded Lie algebras and their graded representations...
