ATTIOGBE, CYRIL EFOE. On Characterizing Nilpotent Lie algebras by their Multipliers. (Under the direction of Ernest L. Stitzinger.) Authors have turned their attentions to special classes of nilpotent Lie algebras such as two-step nilpotent and filiform Lie algebras, in particular filiform Lie algebras are classified up to dimension eleven [8]. These techniques have not worked well in higher dimensions. For a nilpotent Lie algebra L, of dimension n, we consider central extensions 0 M C L 0 with M⊆ c∩Z(C), where c is the derived algebra of C and Z(C) is the center of C. Let M(L) be the M of largest dimension and call it the multiplier of L due to it’s analogy with the Schur multiplier. The maximum dimension that M can obtain is 1⁄2 n(n-1) and this is met if and only if L is abelian. Let t(L) = 1⁄2 n(n-1) dimM(L). Then t(L) =1 if and only if L=H(1), where H(n) is the Heisenberg algebra of dimension 2n + 1. A recent technique to classify nilpotent Lie algebra is to use the dimension of the multiplier of L. In particular, to find those algebras whose multipliers have dimension close to the maximum, we call this invariant t(L). Algebras with t(L) ≤ 8 have been classified [10]. It’s the purpose of this work to use this technique on filiform Lie algebras along with three main tools namely: Propositions 0, 3, and theorem 4. All algebras in this work will be taken over any field whereas in previous works, they have been taken over the field of real and complex numbers.

Isoclinic extensions of Lie superalgebras

In this paper we introduce the concept of $n$-Lie-isoclinism on non-Lie Leibniz algebras. Among the results obtained, we provide several characterizations of $n$-Lie-isoclinic classes of Leibniz algebras. Also, we provide a characterization of $n$-Lie-stem Leibniz algebras, and prove that every $n$-Lie-isoclinic class of Leibniz algebras contains a $n$-Lie-stem Leibniz algebra.

In this article, we study the notion of central extension of Leibniz $n$-algebras relative to $n$-Lie algebras to study properties of Schur $\mathsf{Lie}$-multiplier and $\mathsf{Lie}$-covers on Leibniz $n$-algebras. We provide a characterization of $\mathsf{Lie}$-perfect Leibniz $n$-algebras by means of universal $\mathsf{Lie}$-central extensions. It is also provided some inequalities on the dimension of the Schur $\mathsf{Lie}$-multiplier of Leibniz $n$-algebras. Analogue to Wiegold [38] and Green [17] results on groups or Moneyhun [26] result on Lie algebras, we provide upper bounds for the dimension of the $\mathsf{Lie}$-commutator of a Leibniz $n$-algebra with finite dimensional $\mathsf{Lie}$-central factor, and also for the dimension of the Schur $\mathsf{Lie}$-multiplier of a finite dimensional Leibniz $n$-algebra.

In this paper, we study the category of trigroups as a generalization of the notion of digroup [4] and analyze their relationship with 3-racks [1] and Leibniz 3-algebras [6]. Trigroups are essentially associative trioids in which there are bar-units and bar-inverses. We prove that 3-racks can be constructed by conjugating trigroups. We also prove that trigroups equipped with a smooth manifold structure produce Leibniz 3-algebras via their associated Lie 3-racks.

In this paper, we introduce the notion Lie-derivation This concept generalizes derivations for non-Lie Leibniz algebras We study these Lie-derivations in the case where their image is contained in the Lie-center, call them Lie-central derivations We provide a characterization of Lie-stem Leibniz algebras by their Lie-central derivations, and prove several properties of the Lie algebra of Lie-central derivations for Lie-nilpotent Leibniz algebras of class 2 We also introduce ${\sf ID}_*-Lie$-derivations A ${\sf ID}_*-Lie$-derivation of a Leibniz algebra G is a Lie-derivation of G in which the image is contained in the second term of the lower Lie-central series of G, and that vanishes on Lie-central elements We provide an upperbound for the dimension of the Lie algebra $ID_*^{Lie}(G)$ of $ID_*Lie$-derivation of G, and prove that the sets $ID_*^{Lie}(G)$ and $ID_*^{Lie}(G)$ are isomorphic for any two Lie-isoclinic Leibniz algebras G and Q
