Derivations and central extensions of some infinite dimensional simple Lie algebras in characteristic zero

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic zero and consider the polynomial algebra $A=F[x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n]$ in $n$ indeterminates over $F$. I recall that the derivations of $A$ form a simple Lie algebra $...

An identity in Lie algebras over fields of positive characteristic

Let $L$ be a Lie algebra over a field of characteristic $p>0$ and $D$ a derivation of $L$. For every $x\in L$ denote by $\mathrm{ad} x$ the adjoint map $\mathrm{ad}x: L \rightarrow L, a\mapsto [x,...
