Abstract: The notion of n-ary algebras, that is vector spaces with a multiplication concerning n-arguments, ngeq3, became fundamental since the works of Nambu. Here we first present general notions concerning n-ary algebras and associative n-ary algebras. Then we will be interested in the notion of n-Lie algebras, initiated by Filippov, and which is attached to the Nambu algebras. We study the particular case of nilpotent or filiform n-Lie algebras to obtain a beginning of classification. This notion of n-Lie algebra admits a natural generalization in Strong Homotopy n-Lie algebras in which the Maurer Cartan calculus is well adapted.
