On a Class of Generalized Nilpotent Groups

2002

AbstractWe explore the class B of generalized nilpotent groups in the universe c[formula] of all radical locally finite groups satisfying min-p for every prime p. We obtain that this class is the natural generalization of the class of finite nilpotent groups from the finite universe to the universe c[formula]. Moreover, the structure of B-groups is determined explicitly. It is also shown that B is a subgroup-closed c[formula]-formation and that in every c[formula]-group the Fitting subgroup is the unique maximal normal B-subgroup.

Nilpotent Lie algebras with 2-dimensional commutator ideals

2011

Abstract We classify all (finitely dimensional) nilpotent Lie k -algebras h with 2-dimensional commutator ideals h ′ , extending a known result to the case where h ′ is non-central and k is an arbitrary field. It turns out that, while the structure of h depends on the field k if h ′ is central, it is independent of k if h ′ is non-central and is uniquely determined by the dimension of h . In the case where k is algebraically or real closed, we also list all nilpotent Lie k -algebras h with 2-dimensional central commutator ideals h ′ and dim k h ⩽ 11 .

Derivations on a Lie Ideal

1988

AbstractIn this paper we prove the following result: let R be a prime ring with no non-zero nil left ideals whose characteristic is different from 2 and let U be a non central Lie ideal of R.If d ≠ 0 is a derivation of R such that d(u) is invertible or nilpotent for all u ∈ U, then either R is a division ring or R is the 2 X 2 matrices over a division ring. Moreover in the last case if the division ring is non commutative, then d is an inner derivation of R.

A note on strongly Lie nilpotency

1991

In this note the authors studies strongly Lie nilpotent rings and proves that if a ringR is strongly Lie nilpotent thenR(2), the ideal generated by all commutators, is nilpotent.

A class of finite groups having nilpotent injectors

1986

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to construct a class of groups which properly contains the class of N-constrained groups, and which is such that all groups in this class have N-injectors.

A class of nilpotent Lie algebras admitting a compact subgroup of automorphisms

2017

Abstract The realification of the ( 2 n + 1 ) -dimensional complex Heisenberg Lie algebra is a ( 4 n + 2 ) -dimensional real nilpotent Lie algebra with a 2-dimensional commutator ideal coinciding with the centre, and admitting the compact algebra sp ( n ) of derivations. We investigate, in general, whether a real nilpotent Lie algebra with 2-dimensional commutator ideal coinciding with the centre admits a compact Lie algebra of derivations. This also gives us the occasion to revisit a series of classic results, with the expressed aim of attracting the interest of a broader audience.

On nilpotent Moufang loops with central associators

2007

Abstract In this paper, we investigate Moufang p-loops of nilpotency class at least three for p > 3 . The smallest examples have order p 5 and satisfy the following properties: (1) They are of maximal nilpotency class, (2) their associators lie in the center, and (3) they can be constructed using a general form of the semidirect product of a cyclic group and a group of maximal class. We present some results concerning loops with these properties. As an application, we classify proper Moufang loops of order p 5 , p > 3 , and collect information on their multiplication groups.

An almost nilpotent variety of exponent 2

2013

We construct a non-associative algebra A over a field of characteristic zero with the following properties: if V is the variety generated by A, then V has exponential growth but any proper subvariety of V is nilpotent. Moreover, by studying the asymptotics of the sequence of codimensions of A we deduce that exp(V) = 2.

Associative rings whose adjoint semigroup is locally nilpotent

2001

The set of all elements of an associative ring R, not necessarily with a unit element, forms a semigroup R ad under the circle operation \({r\circ s}={r+s+rs}\) on R. The ring R is called radical if R ad is a group. It is proved that the semigroup R ad is nilpotent of class n (in sense of A. Mal'cev or B. H. Neumann and T. Taylor) if and only if the ring R is Lie-nilpotent of class n. This yields a positive answer to a question posed by A. Krasil'nikov and independently considered by D. Riley and V. Tasic. It is also shown that the adjoint group of a radical ring R is locally nilpotent if and only if R is locally Lie-nilpotent.
