An extension of Mahler's theorem to simply connected nilpotent groups

Martin Moskowitz (2005)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

This Note gives an extension of Mahler's theorem on lattices in R n to simply connected nilpotent groups with a Q -structure. From this one gets an application to groups of Heisenberg type and a generalization of Hermite's inequality.

An extension of Rais' theorem and seaweed subalgebras of simple Lie algebras

Dmitri I. Panyushev (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove an extension of Rais' theorem on the coadjoint representation of certain graded Lie algebras. As an application, we prove that, for the coadjoint representation of any seaweed subalgebra in a general linear or symplectic Lie algebra, there is a generic stabiliser and the field of invariants is rational. It is also shown that if the highest root of a simple Lie algerba is not fundamental, then there is a parabolic subalgebra whose coadjoint representation do not...

An obstruction to represent abelian Lie algebras by unipotent matrices.

J. C. Benjumea, F. J. Echarte, Núñez, J.,Tenorio, A. F. (2004)

Extracta Mathematicae

The aim of this paper is the study of abelian Lie algebras as subalgebras of the nilpotent Lie algebra gn associated with Lie groups of upper-triangular square matrices whose main diagonal is formed by 1. We also give an obstruction to obtain the abelian Lie algebra of dimension one unit less than the corresponding to gn as a Lie subalgebra of gn. Moreover, we give a procedure to obtain abelian Lie subalgebras of gn up to the dimension which we think it is the maximum.

An overview of free nilpotent Lie algebras

Pilar Benito, Daniel de-la-Concepción (2014)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Any nilpotent Lie algebra is a quotient of a free nilpotent Lie algebra of the same nilindex and type. In this paper we review some nice features of the class of free nilpotent Lie algebras. We will focus on the survey of Lie algebras of derivations and groups of automorphisms of this class of algebras. Three research projects on nilpotent Lie algebras will be mentioned.
