The purpose of this paper is to compare the radicals of a left symmetric algebra considered in 〔1〕 when the associated Lie algebra is nilpotent. In this case, we show that all the radicals considered there are equal. We also consider some other radicals and show they are also equal.

We briefly discuss the Lie groups, it's nilpotency and representations of a nilpotent Lie groups. Dixmier and Kirillov proved that simply connected nilpotent Lie groups over $\mathbb{R}$ are monomial. We reformulate the above result at the Lie algebra level.

The Lie algebra analogue of Schur's result which is proved by Moneyhun in 1994, states that if L is a Lie algebra such that dimL/Z(L) = n, then $dimL_{(2)}={\frac{1}{2}}n(n-1)-s$ for some non-negative integer s. In the present paper, we determine the structure of central factor (for s = 0) and the factor Lie algebra $L/Z_2(L)$ (for all $s{\geq}0$) of a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra L, with n-dimensional central factor. Furthermore, by using the concept of n-isoclinism, we discuss an upper bound for the dimension of $L/Z_n(L)$ in terms of $dimL_{(n+1)}$, when the factor Lie algebra $L/Z_n(L)$ is finitely generated and $n{\geq}1$.

Let n be a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra which has an inner product <, > and has an orthogonal decomposition $n\;=z\;{\oplus}v$ for its center z and the orthogonal complement v of z. Then Each element z of z defines a skew symmetric linear map $J_z\;:\;v\;{\longrightarrow}\;v$ given by <$J_zx$, y> = for all x, $y\;{\in}\;v$. In this paper we characterize Jacobi fields and calculate all conjugate points of a simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie group N with its Lie algebra n satisfying $J^2_z$ = A for all $z\;{\in}\;z$, where S is a positive definite symmetric operator on z and A is a negative definite symmetric operator on v.

A pseudo-Riemannian solvmanifold is a solvable Lie group endowed with a left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric. In this short note, we investigate the nilpotency of the Ricci operator of pseudo-Riemannian solvmanifolds. We focus on a special class of solvable Lie groups whose Lie algebras can be expressed as a one-dimensional extension of a nilpotent Lie algebra ℝD⋉n, where D is a derivation of n whose restriction to the center of n has at least one real eigenvalue. The main result asserts that every solvable Lie group belonging to this special class admits a left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric with nilpotent Ricci operator. As an application, we obtain a complete classification of three-dimensional solvable Lie groups which admit a left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric with nilpotent Ricci operator.

In this paper, we focus on pseudo-Riemannian associative fermionic Novikov algebras. We prove that the underlying Lie algebras of pseudo-Riemannian associative fermionic Novikov algebras are 2-step nilpotent and that pseudo-Riemannian associative fermionic Novikov algebras are 3-step nilpotent. Moreover, we construct a pseudo-Riemannian associative fermionic Novikov algebra in dimension 14, which is not a Novikov algebra. It implies that the inverse proposition of Corollary 2 in the paper "Pseudo-Riemannian Novikov algebras" [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 41 (2008), 315207] does not hold.

We estimate the real rank of CCR C*-algebras under some assumptions. A applications we determine the real rank of the reduced group C*-algebras of non-compac connected, semi-simple and reductive Lie groups and that of the group C*-algebras of connected nilpotent Lie groups.

In this paper, at first we generalize the notion of algebra over a field. A ${\Gamma}$-algebra is an algebraic structure consisting of a vector space V, a groupoid ${\Gamma}$ together with a map from $V{\times}{\Gamma}{\times}V$ to V. Then, on every associative ${\Gamma}$-algebra V and for every ${\alpha}{{\in}}{\Gamma}$ we construct an ${\alpha}$-Lie algebra. Also, we discuss some properties about ${\Gamma}$-Lie algebras when V and ${\Gamma}$ are the sets of $m{\times}n$ and $n{\times}m$ matrices over a field F respectively. Finally, we define the notions of ${\alpha}$-derivation, ${\alpha}$-representation, ${\alpha}$-nilpotency and prove Engel theorem in this case.

Let n be a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra which has an inner product <,> and has an orthogonal decomposition $n=\delta{\oplus}\varsigma$ for its center $\delta$ and the orthogonal complement $\varsigma\;of\;\delta$. Then Each element Z of $\delta$ defines a skew symmetric linear map $J_Z:\varsigma{\rightarrow}\varsigma$ given by $=$ for all $X,\;Y{\in}\varsigma$. Let $\gamma$ be a unit speed geodesic in a 2-step nilpotent Lie group H(2, 1) with its Lie algebra n(2, 1) and let its initial velocity ${\gamma}$(0) be given by ${\gamma}(0)=Z_0+X_0{\in}\delta{\oplus}\varsigma=n(2,\;1)$ with its center component $Z_0$ nonzero. Then we showed that $\gamma(0)$ is conjugate to $\gamma(\frac{2n{\pi}}{\theta})$, where n is a nonzero intger and $-{\theta}^2$ is a nonzero eigenvalue of $J^2_{Z_0}$, along $\gamma$ if and only if either $X_0$ is an eigenvector of $J^2_{Z_0}$ or $adX_0:\varsigma{\rightarrow}\delta$ is not surjective.

In this paper, we are interested in left invariant flat affine structures on Lie groups. These structures has been studied by many authors in different contexts. One of the fundamental questions is the existence of complete affine structures for solvable Lie groups G, raised by Minor [15]. But recently Benoist answered negatively even for the nilpotent case [1]. Also moduli space of such structures for lower dimensional cases has been studied by several authors, sometimes with compatible metrics [5,10,4,12].
