An overview of free nilpotent Lie algebras

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

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

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.

Contractions of Lie algebras and algebraic groups

Dietrich Burde (2007)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

Degenerations, contractions and deformations of various algebraic structures play an important role in mathematics and physics. There are many different definitions and special cases of these notions. We try to give a general definition which unifies these notions and shows the connections among them. Here we focus on contractions of Lie algebras and algebraic groups.
