Nilpotency degree of the nilradical of a solvable Lie algebra on two generators and uniserial modules associated to free nilpotent Lie algebras (Q2042937)

This paper develops a computation of the nilpotency degree \(m\) of the nilradical \(\mathfrak{n}\) of \(\mathfrak{h},\) where \(\mathfrak{h}\) is the Lie subalgebra of \(\mathfrak{gl}(d,\mathbb{F}),\) for \(d=\sum\limits_{i=0}^{n}d_{i}\) given any sequence \(d=(d_{1},d_{2},\dots,d_{n})\). The field is assumed to have characteristic 0 while the Lie subalgebra is assumed to be generated by two block upper triangular matrices \(D\) and \(E\) partitioned according to \(d\). An attempt is made to classify the indecomposable modules of certain solvable Lie algebras when \(D\) and \(E\) belong to a certain family of matrices. The symmetry of \(E\) with respect to an outer automorphism of \(\mathfrak{sl}(d)\) determines \(m\). The establishment of this long and delicate result is successfully attempted. A full classification of all uniserial modules of an extension of the free \(\mathfrak{l}\)-step nilpotent Lie algebra on \(n\) generators when \(\mathbb{F}\) is algebraically closed is given. However, it is pointed out that the classification of all uniserial representations of the nilpotent Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}_{n,\lambda,\mathfrak{l}}\) remains incomplete for \(\lambda=0\). Also, there is very little information about the uniserials of \(\mathfrak{g}_{n,\lambda,\mathfrak{l}}\) in positive characteristic. Also caution is made that for some \(\mathfrak{n}\) no extension may exist for any choice of \(d\) and \(S\).
