Leibniz algebras with low-dimensional maximal Lie quotients

William J. Cook, John Hall, Vicky W. Klima and Carter Murray

Vol. 12 (2019), No. 5, 839–853
Abstract

Every Leibniz algebra has a maximal homomorphic image that is a Lie algebra. We classify cyclic Leibniz algebras over an arbitrary field. Such algebras have the 1-dimensional abelian Lie algebra as their maximal Lie quotient. We then give examples of Leibniz algebras whose associated maximal Lie quotients exhaust all 2-dimensional possibilities.

Keywords
