One of the four well-known series of simple Lie algebras of Cartan type is the series of Lie algebras of Special type, which are divergence-free Lie algebras associated with polynomial algebras and the operators of taking partial derivatives, connected with volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. In this paper, we determine the structure space of the divergence-free Lie algebras associated with pair...

Let gl(n, R) be the Lie algebra consisting of all n × n matrices over a commutative ring R with identity 1. In this paper, we prove that every generalized Lie triple derivation of gl(n, R)(n ≥ 2) is the sum of a Lie triple derivation and a homothety.

let $mathcal{a}$ be a $c^*$-algebra and $z(mathcal{a})$ the‎ ‎center of $mathcal{a}$‎. ‎a sequence ${l_{n}}_{n=0}^{infty}$ of‎ ‎linear mappings on $mathcal{a}$ with $l_{0}=i$‎, ‎where $i$ is the‎ ‎identity mapping‎ ‎on $mathcal{a}$‎, ‎is called a lie higher derivation if‎ ‎$l_{n}[x,y]=sum_{i+j=n} [l_{i}x,l_{j}y]$ for all $x,y in  ‎mathcal{a}$ and all $ngeqslant0$‎. ‎we show that‎ ‎${l_{n}}_{n...

The aim of this article is to discuss the n-derivation algebras Lie color algebras. It proved that, if base ring contains 1/n-1, L a perfect algebra with zero center, then every triple derivation derivation, and nDer(L)) an inner derivation.

An Einstein nilradical is a nilpotent Lie algebra, which can be the nilradical of a metric Einstein solvable Lie algebra. The classification of Riemannian Einstein solvmanifolds (possibly, of all noncompact homogeneous Einstein spaces) can be reduced to determining, which nilpotent Lie algebras are Einstein nilradicals and to finding, for every Einstein nilradical, its Einstein metric solvable ...

recently, we have used the symmetric bracket of vector fields, and developed the notion of the symmetric derivation. using this machinery, we have defined the concept of symmetric curvature. this concept is natural and is related to the notions divergence and laplacian of vector fields. this concept is also related to the derivations on the algebra of symmetric forms which has been discus...

We introduce a new class of simple Lie algebras W (n, m) (see Definition 1) that generalize the Witt algebra by using " exponential " functions, and also a subalgebra W * (n, m) thereof; and we show each derivation of W * (1, 0) can be written as a sum of an inner derivation and a scalar derivation (Theorem. 2) [10]. The Lie algebra W (n, m) is Z-graded and is infinite growth [4].

Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free ring and $U$ be a square closed Lie ideal of $R$. Suppose that $alpha, beta$ are automorphisms of $R$. An additive mapping $delta: R longrightarrow R$ is said to be a Jordan left $(alpha,beta)$-derivation of $R$ if $delta(x^2)=alpha(x)delta(x)+beta(x)delta(x)$ holds for all $xin R$. In this paper it is established that if $R$ admits an additive mapping $G : Rlongrigh...

In commutative algebra, a Weitzenböck derivation is a nonzero triangular linear derivation of the polynomial algebra K[x1, . . . , xm] in several variables over a field K of characteristic 0. The classical theorem of Weitzenböck states that the algebra of constants is finitely generated. (This algebra coincides with the algebra of invariants of a single unipotent transformation.) In this paper ...
