We give an algorithm of decomposition for a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic 0 permitting to generalize the derivation tower theorem of Lie algebras.

The concepts of derivation and centroid for Lie–Yamaguti algebras are generalized in this paper. A quasi-derivation a LY-algebra can be embedded as larger LY-algebra. relationship between quasi-derivations robustness has been studied.

We study Lie algebra prederivations. A Lie algebra admitting a non-singular prederivation is nilpotent. We classify filiform Lie algebras admitting a non-singular prederivation but no non-singular derivation. We prove that any 4-step nilpotent Lie algebra admits a non-singular prederivation.

A 2-group is a ‘categorified’ version of a group, in which the underlying set G has been replaced by a category and the multiplication map m: G×G → G has been replaced by a functor. Various versions of this notion have already been explored; our goal here is to provide a detailed introduction to two, which we call ‘weak’ and ‘coherent’ 2-groups. A weak 2-group is a weak monoidal category in whi...

Let $A$ be a Banach ternary algebra over a scalar field $Bbb R$ or $Bbb C$ and $X$ be a ternary Banach $A$--module. Let $sigma,tau$ and $xi$ be linear mappings on $A$, a linear mapping $D:(A,[~]_A)to (X,[~]_X)$ is called a Lie ternary $(sigma,tau,xi)$--derivation, if $$D([a,b,c])=[[D(a)bc]_X]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}-[[D(c)ba]_X]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}$$ for all $a,b,cin A$, where $[abc]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}=ata...

We provide an algorithm for decomposing a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic 0 permitting to generalize the derivation tower theorem for Lie algebras, is proved by E. Schenkman [4].

Abstract. Xu introduced a class of nongraded Hamiltonian Lie algebras. These Lie algebras have a Poisson bracket structure. In this paper, the isomorphism classes of these Lie algebras are determined by employing a “sandwich” method and by studying some features of these Lie algebras. It is obtained that two Hamiltonian Lie algebras are isomorphic if and only if their corresponding Poisson alge...
