A Kind of Infinite-Dimensional Novikov Algebras and Its Realizations
Abstract
We construct a kind of infinite-dimensional Novikov algebras and give its realization by hyperbolic sine functions and hyperbolic cosine functions.
1. Introduction
Novikov algebras were introduced in connection with Hamiltonian operators in the formal variational calculus and the Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type. They were used to construct the Virasoro-type Lie algebras. So the study of Novikov algebras is interesting in both mathematics and mathematical physics.
Ma presented many new soliton hierarchies of commuting bi-Hamiltonian evolution equations from the so-called Novikov algebras [4–6]. In 1987, Zel’manov [7] began to study Novikov algebras and proved that the dimension of finite-dimensional simple Novikov algebras over a field of characteristic zero is one. In algebras, what are paid attention to by mathematician are classifications and structures, but so far we have not got the systematic theory for general Novikov algebras. In 1992, Osborn [8–10] had finished the classification of infinite simple Novikov algebras with nilpotent elements over a field of characteristic zero and finite simple Novikov algebras with nilpotent elements over a field of characteristic p > 0. In 1995, Xu [10–13] developed his theory and got the classification of simple Novikov algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Bai and Meng [14–16] did a series of researches on low dimensional Novikov algebras, such as the structure and classification. We construct two kinds of Novikov algebras [17]. Recently, people obtained some properties in Novikov superalgebras [18, 19]. In this paper, we construct an infinite-dimensional Novikov algebra and give its realization by hyperbolic sine functions and hyperbolic cosine functions.
Definition 1 (see [17].)Let (𝒜, ∘) be an algebra over F such that
Remark 2. An algebra 𝒜 is called a left symmetric algebra if it only satisfies (4). It is clear that left symmetric algebras contain Novikov algebras.
Remark 3. (1) If (𝒜, ∘) is a left symmetric algebra satisfying
(2) Let (𝒜, ·) be a commutative algebra, and then (𝒜, d0, ∘) is a Novikov algebra if d0 is a derivation of 𝒜 with a bilinear operator ∘ such that

Lemma 4. Let {b0, a1, b1, a2, b2, … an, bn, …} be a basis of the linear space 𝒜 over a field F of characteristic p ≠ 2 satisfying
Proof. It is clear that 𝒜 is a commutative algebra over F:
Corollary 5. b0 of Lemma 4 is a unity of 𝒜.
Lemma 6. Let 𝒜 be a commutative and associative algebra satisfying Lemma 4. Then the following statements hold:
- (1)
If D0 is a linear transformation of 𝒜 such that
() -
then D0 is a derivation of 𝒜.
- (2)
If aD0 is a linear transformation of 𝒜 such that
() -
then aD0 is a derivation of 𝒜.
- (3)
𝒟1 = {aD0∣a ∈ 𝒜} is a subalgebra of Lie algebra Der𝒜.
Proof. (1) We have
So D0 is a derivation of 𝒜.
(2) For ∀a, b, c ∈ 𝒜, we have
(3) For ∀a, b, c ∈ 𝒜, we have
Theorem 7. Let 𝒜 be a commutative and associative algebra satisfying Lemma 4, and let a be an element of 𝒜. If D0 satisfies Lemma 6 and ∘ satisfies
- (1)
(𝒜, aD0, ∘) is a Novikov algebra.
- (2)
(𝒜, aD0, [, ]) is an adjoining Lie algebra of (𝒜, aD0, ∘) and [, ] such that
()
Proof. (1) By Lemma 6, aD0 is a derivation of the commutative algebra 𝒜. So (𝒜, aD0, ∘) is a Novikov algebra by Remark 3(2).
(2) (𝒜, aD0, [, ]) is an adjoining Lie algebra of (𝒜, aD0, ∘) by Remark 3(1). For ∀b, c ∈ 𝒜, ∃a ∈ 𝒜, we have
Let b0 be a unity of 𝒜. If we set a = b0 in Theorem 7, then an∘am = anb0D0(am) = an(mbm) = (m/2)(am+n + an−m). Similarly, we obtain the following corollary.
Corollary 8. Let 𝒜 be a commutative and associative algebra satisfying Lemma 4. Then the following statements hold:
We have the following: let sinh x = (ex − e−x)/2, cosh x = (ex + e−x)/2, and let the field F be assumed R or C. We will construct Novikov algebras over the linear space which is generated by sinh x and cosh x.
First, let 𝒯 be a linear space generated by {sinh mx, cosh nx∣m, n ∈ N} over F.
Lemma 9. 𝒯 satisfying the above product is a commutative associative algebra.
Proof. Since the above product is commutative and associative, we only need 𝒯 to be closed for the product. In fact,
Lemma 10. Let 𝒯 be a linear space generated by {sinh mx, cosh nx∣m, n ∈ N} over F, and then {1, sinh mx, cosh nx∣m, n ∈ N0} is a basis of 𝒯.
Proof. For ∀n ∈ N0, suppose that there are c0, ai, bj ∈ F, i, j ∈ N0 such that
We take derivative for (20) such that its derivative order is 2k (k ∈ N0), and put x = 0. Then we have
Theorem 11. Let 𝒜1, 𝒜2 be commutative and associative algebras over F. If φ: 𝒜1 → 𝒜2 is an isomorphism and D1 ∈ Der𝒜1, then the following statements hold:
- (1)
D2 : = φD1φ−1 ∈ Der𝒜2,
- (2)
φ: (𝒜1, D1, ∘)→(𝒜2, D2, ∘) is also an isomorphism of Novikov algebras.
Proof. (1) For any a, b ∈ 𝒜1, we have
(2) For any a, b ∈ 𝒜1, we have
Theorem 12. Let 𝒜 be a commutative and associative algebra over F satisfying Lemma 4, let D0 be its derivation satisfying (10), and let 𝒯 be a commutative and associative algebra over F satisfying Lemmas 9 and 10. If φ : 𝒜 → 𝒯 satisfies
- (1)
φ is an isomorphism of commutative and associative algebras,
- (2)
φD0φ−1 = d/dx,
- (3)
φ : (𝒜, aD0, ∘)→(𝒯, φ(a)(d/dx), ∘) is an isomorphism of Novikov algebras.
Proof. It is clear by Lemma 10, (8), and (19).
(2) By Lemma 6, we have
(3) It is clear that φ(aD0)φ−1 = φ(a)d/dx. By (27) and (10), we have
By Theorems 7 and 11 and Remark 3(2), we have
