Self-similar Lie algebras

Laurent Bartholdi (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We give a general definition of branched, self-similar Lie algebras, and show that important examples of Lie algebras fall into that class. We give sufficient conditions for a self-similar Lie algebra to be nil, and prove in this manner that the self-similar algebras associated with Grigorchuk’s and Gupta–Sidki’s torsion groups are nil as well as self-similar.We derive the same results for a class of examples constructed by Petrogradsky, Shestakov and Zelmanov.

Self-small products of abelian groups

Josef Dvořák, Jan Žemlička (2022)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let A and B be two abelian groups. The group A is called B -small if the covariant functor Hom ( A , - ) commutes with all direct sums B ( κ ) and A is self-small provided it is A -small. The paper characterizes self-small products applying developed closure properties of the classes of relatively small groups. As a consequence, self-small products of finitely generated abelian groups are described.
