Tate-Shafarevich groups and algebras

Abstract

The Tate-Shafarevich set of a group G defined by Takashi Ono coincides, in the case where G is finite, with the group of outer class-preserving automorphisms of G introduced by Burnside. We consider analogues of this important group-theoretic object for Lie algebras and associative algebras and establish some new structure properties thereof. We also discuss open problems and eventual generalizations to other algebraic structures.
