On $n$-ary Lie algebras of type $(r,l)$

Abstract

These notes are devoted to the multiple generalization of a Lie algebra introduced by A.M.Vinogradov and M.M.Vinogradov. We compare definitions of such algebras in the usual and invariant case. Furthermore, we show that there are no simple $n$-ary Lie algebras of type $(n-1,l)$ for $l>0$.
