BOUNDS FOR THE DIMENSION OF THE SCHUR MULTIPLIER OF A PAIR OF NILPOTENT LIE ALGEBRAS

Let (L, N) be a pair of finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras, in which N is an ideal in L. In this paper we derive some inequalities for the dimension of the Schur multiplier of the pair (L, N) in terms of the dimension of the commutator subalgebra [L, N].

Nilpotent-by-abelian Lie algebras of type FPm

Let L be a finitely generated Lie algebra which is a split extension of a free nilpotent Lie algebra N by a finite dimensional abelian Lie algebra. Let V denote the quotient of N by its commutator subalgebra; we can regard V as a module for L/N. We discuss the relationship between the homological finiteness properties of V and those of L. In particular, we show that if L has type FPm and N has class c then V is 1 + c(m − 1)-tame (equivalently, the (1 + c(m − 1))th tensor power of V is finitely generated under the diagonal action of L/N).
