The classification of naturally graded p-filiform Lie algebras is known. Several authors have studied the naturally graded p-filiform Leibniz algebras for any p with p ≥ 0. J. R. Gómez, A. Jiménez-Merchán and J. Reyes ["Filiform Lie algebras of maximum length", Extracta Mathematicae 16 (2001) 405--421] have investigated families of nilpotent Lie algebras with other types of non-natural gradation, a gradation with a large number of subspaces. The algebras with maximum number of subspaces in the gradation will be called maximum length algebras. We deal with the classification of filiform and 2-filiform Leibniz algebras of maximum length. Keywords: Leibniz algebras, naturally graded algebras. MSC: 17A32, 17B30 [ Fulltext-pdf (195 KB)] for subscribers only. |
