Deformations of Lie algebras of type ${D}_{l}$ and $\overline{{D}_{l}}$ in characteristic 2

Abstract

The study of global deformations of Lie algebras is related to the problem of classification of simple Lie algebras over fields of small characteristic. The classification of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras is complete over algebraically closed fields of characteristic $p>3$ (\cite{Strade1}-\cite{Strade3}). Over the fields of characteristic 2, a large number of examples of Lie algebras are constructed that do not fit into previously known schemes. Description of the deformation of classical Lie algebras first gives new examples of simple Lie algebras, and second allows you to describe known examples as deformations of classical Lie algebras, as is done, for example, in \cite{CKK}. This paper describes the spaces of local deformations of Lie algebras of the type $D_l$ for $l>3$ and the factor of the algebra at the center $\overline{D}_l$, and describes some global deformations of Lie algebras of these types that are not rigid.

On solutions of singular Sylvester equations in quaternions

The quaternionic equations ax-xb=0 and ax-xb=c are investigated, which are called homogeneous and inhomogeneous Sylvester equations, respectively. Conditions for the existence of solutions are provided. In addition, the general and nonzero solutions to these equations are derived applying quaternion square roots.

Positivity preservers over finite fields II

We say that a matrix over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is positive definite if it is symmetric and each of its leading principal minors is a nonzero square in $\mathbb{F}_q$. In previous work of the authors [J. Algebra, 2025], the entrywise positivity preservers on $M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ were classified in every case except when $n=2$, $q\equiv1\pmod4$, and $q$ is not a square. We settle this remaining case, thereby completing the classification of entrywise positivity preservers over every finite field and in every dimension $n\ge2$. Our proof is based on a novel idempotent reduction that not only resolves the remaining case but also yields a self-contained proof of the complete classification, while avoiding several technical results used in the earlier arguments. As a further application of the same reduction, we classify the entrywise preservers of strongly nonsingular matrices, i.e., matrices whose leading principal minors are all nonzero. We also prove a more general theorem in odd characteristic: for every prescribed sign pattern of nonzero leading principal minors of matrices of a fixed dimension $n\ge2$, the entrywise preservers are precisely the positive scalar multiples of field automorphisms. Thus, in odd characteristic, preserving any nonzero leading-principal-minor sign pattern surprisingly forces the preservation of every such sign pattern.

Graphs of Moore-Penrose inverse of matrices possessing the treeangle property

It is known that the inverse of an invertible real square matrix satisfying the treeangle property, is a treediagonal matrix. A converse statement also holds. We show that the verbatim analogues are not true for the Moore-Penrose inverse, and obtain the precise structure of graphs corresponding to the Moore-Penrose inverse of matrices possessing the treeangle property.
