We give a comprehensive survey of the theory of finite dimensional Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic and announce that the classification of all finite dimensional simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 3 is now complete. Any such Lie algebra is up to isomorphism either classical or a filtered Lie algebra of Cartan type...

In order to describe non-Hamiltonian (dissipative) systems in quantum theory we need to use non-Lie algebra such that commutators of this algebra generate Lie subalgebra. It was shown that classical connection between analytic group (Lie group) and Lie algebra, proved by Lie theorems, exists between analytic loop, commutant of which is associative subloop (group), and commutant Lie algebra (an ...

The Lie algebra D̂, which is the unique non-trivial central extension of the Lie algebra D of differential operators on the circle [KP1], has appeared recently in various models of two-dimensional quantum field theory and integrable systems, cf., e.g., [BK, FKN, PRS, IKS, CTZ, ASvM]. A systematic study of representation theory of the Lie algebra D̂, which is often referred to as W1+∞ algebra, was...

We compute complete leading logarithms in Φ4 theory with the help of Connes and Kreimer RG equations. These equations are defined in the Lie algebra dual to the Hopf algebra of graphs. The results are compared with calculations in parquet approximation. An interpretation of the new RG equations is discussed.

We say that a finite dimensional Lie algebra is quasi-reductive if it has a linear form whose stabilizer for the coadjoint representation, modulo the center, is a reductive Lie algebra with a center consisting of semisimple elements. Parabolic subalgebras of a semisimple Lie algebra are not always quasi-reductive (except in types A or C by work of Panyushev). The classification of quasireductiv...

The Lie algebra W = DerA is called the Witt algebra. It consists of “vector fields” f∂, f ∈ A. In particular, dimF W = dimF A = p. As any Lie algebra of derivations of a commutative algebra over F, W has a canonical structure of a restricted Lie algebra. Recall that a restricted Lie algebra is a Lie algebra over F with an additional unary (in general, non-linear) operation g 7→ g satisfying the...

In this paper, the Lie group analysis method is applied to the geometric average Asian option pricing equation in financial problems. Firstly, the complete Lie symmetry group and infinitesimal generators of this equation are derived. Then the optimal system with one parameter for the Lie symmetry algebra are obtained, which gives the possibility to describe a complete set of invariant solutions...

The aim of this paper is to give a complete classification of irreducible finite-dimensional representations of the nonstandard q-deformation U ′ q(son) (which does not coincide with the Drinfel’d-Jimbo quantum algebra Uq(son)) of the universal enveloping algebra U(son(C)) of the Lie algebra son(C) when q is not a root of unity. These representations are exhausted by irreducible representations...

It is an initially surprising fact how much of the geometry and arithmetic of Shimura varieties (e.g., moduli spaces of abelian varieties) is governed by the theory of linear algebraic groups. This is in some sense unfortunate, because the theory of algebraic groups (even over the complex numbers, and still more over a nonalgebraically closed field like Q) is rich and complicated, containing fo...

Let Θ be an arbitrary variety of algebras and let Θ0 be the category of all free finitely generated algebras from Θ. We study automorphisms of such categories for special Θ. The cases of the varieties of all groups, all semigroups, all modules over a noetherian ring, all associative and commutative algebras over a field are completely investigated. The cases of associative and Lie algebras are ...
