The computation of abelian subalgebras in low-dimensional solvable lie algebras

The main goal of this paper is to compute the maximal abelian dimension of each solvable non-decomposable Lie algebra of dimension less than 7. To do it, we apply an algorithmic method which goes ruling out non-valid maximal abelian dimensions until obtaining its exact value. Based on Mubarakzyanov and Turkowsky's classical classifications of solvable Lie algebras (see [13] and [19]) and the classification of 6-dimensional nilpo-tent Lie algebras by Goze and Khakimdjanov [7], we have explicitly computed the maximal abelian dimension for the algebras given in those classifications.

A comparison of two classifications of solvable Lie algebras

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2018

The literature contains two different classifications of solvable Lie algebras of dimensions up to and including 4. This paper is devoted to comparing the two classifications and translating each into the other. In particular, we exhibit an isomorphism between each solvable Lie algebra of one classification and the corresponding algebra of the second. The first classification is provided by de Graaf, and the second classification is from a recent book by Snobl and Winternitz.

On abelian subalgebras and ideals of maximal dimension in supersolvable Lie algebras

Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 2014

In this paper, the main objective is to compare the abelian subalgebras and ideals of maximal dimension for finite-dimensional supersolvable Lie algebras. We characterise the maximal abelian subalgebras of solvable Lie algebras and study solvable Lie algebras containing an abelian subalgebra of codimension 2. Finally, we prove that nilpotent Lie algebras with an abelian subalgebra of codimension 3 contain an abelian ideal with the same dimension, provided that the characteristic of the underlying field is not two. Throughout the paper, we also give several examples to clarify some results.

Further Results on Elementary Lie Algebras and Lie A-Algebras

Communications in Algebra, 2013

A finite-dimensional Lie algebra L over a field F of characteristic zero is called elementary if each of its subalgebras has trivial Frattini ideal; it is an A-algebra if every nilpotent subalgebra is abelian. This paper is a continuation of the study of these algebras initiated by the authors in [10].

Abelian subalgebras and ideals of maximal dimension in supersolvable and nilpotent lie algebras

Linear and Multilinear Algebra, 2020

In this paper, we continue the study of abelian subalgebras and ideals of maximal dimension for finite-dimensional supersolvable and nilpotent Lie algebras. We show that supersolvable Lie algebras with an abelian subalgebra of codimension 3 contain an abelian ideal with the same dimension, provided that the characteristic of the underlying field is not two, and that the same is true for nilpotent Lie algebras with an abelian subalgebra of codimension 4, provided that the characteristic of the field is greater than five.

Ideals and conjugacy classes in solvable Lie algebras

arXiv (Cornell University), 2022

A constructive procedure is given to determine all ideals of a finite dimensional solvable Lie algebra. This is used in determining all conjugacy classes of subalgebras of a given finite dimensional solvable Lie algebra.

Elementary Lie Algebras

Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 1973

A finite-dimensional Lie algebra L over a field F is called elementary if each of its subalgebras has trivial Frattini ideal; it is an A-algebra if every nilpotent subalgebra is abelian. The present paper is primarily concerned with the classification of elementary Lie algebras. In particular, we provide a complete list in the case when F is algebraically closed and of characteristic different from 2,3, reduce the classification over fields of characteristic 0 to the description of elementary semisimple Lie algebras, and identify the latter in the case when F is the real field. Additionally it is shown that over fields of characteristic 0 every elementary Lie algebra is almost algebraic; in fact, if L has no non-zero semisimple ideals, then it is elementary if and only if it is an almost algebraic A-algebra.
