On derivations of some classes of Leibniz algebras

Abstract

In the paper we describe the derivations of complex $n$-dimensional naturally graded filiform Leibniz algebras $NGF_1, NGF_2\ \text{and} \ \ NGF_3.$ We show that the dimension of the derivation algebras of $NGF_1$ and $NGF_2$ equals $n+1$ and $n+2,$ respectively, while the dimension of the derivation algebra of $NGF_3$ is equal to $2n-1.$ The second part of the paper deals with the description of the derivations of complex $n$-dimensional filiform non Lie Leibniz algebras, obtained from naturally graded non Lie filiform Leibniz algebras. It is well known that this class is split into two classes denoted by $FLb_n$ and $SLb_n.$ Here we found that for $L\in FLb_n$ we have $n-1 \leq dim\ Der(L)\leq n+1$ and for algebras $L$ from $SLb_n$ the inequality $n-1\leq dim\ Der(L) \leq n+2$ holds true.
