No label defined (Q4947389)

The notion of an \(n\)-Lie algebra is an \(n\)-ary generalization of that of a Lie algebra. It was introduced by \textit{V.~T.~Filippov} in [Sib. Math. J. 26, 879-891 (1985); translation from Sib. Mat. Zh. 26, No. 6, 126-140 (1985; Zbl 0585.17002)]. An \(n\)-Lie algebra \(A\) over a field \(F\) is called monomial if there exists a base \(\{e_i \mid i\in I\}\) in \(A\) such that the \(n\)-ary multiplication in \(A\) is given in this base by the equalities \( [e_{i_1},\dots,e_{i_n}] = f(i_1,\dots,i_n) e_{g(i_1,\dots,i_n)}, \) where \(f\:I^n\to F\) and \(g\:I^n\to I\) are certain mappings. The author considers monomial \(n\)-ary algebras of the type \(A=A_G(f,n,t)\), where \(G=I\) is an abelian group, \(f\) is a multilinear skew-symmetric mapping, and \(g(a_1,\dots,a_n)=a_1+\cdots +a_n+t\) for a fixed \(t\in G\). It is proven that \(A_G(f,n,t)\) is an \(n\)-Lie algebra if and only if \(f=h_1\wedge\cdots\wedge h_n\) for certain \(h_1,\dots,h_n\in \text{Hom}(G,\langle F,+\rangle)\). The multilinearity condition for \(f\) is generalized by the author to the so-called weak multilinearity; it occurs that, under certain additional restrictions, the algebra \(A_G(f,n,t)\) is still an \(n\)-Lie algebra when \(f\) is weakly multilinear. Finally, the author gives examples of \(n\)-Lie algebras \(A_G(f,n,t)\) defined by certain multilinear and weakly multilinear mappings \(f\). \{Reference [7] on page 565 (Russian version) should be changed to [5]\}.
