Local derivations and automorphisms of nilpotent Lie algebra

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the study of local derivations and automorphisms of nilpotent Lie algebras. Namely, we proved that nilpotent Lie algebras with indices of nilpotency $3$ and $4$ admit local derivation (local automorphisms) which is not a derivation (automorphisms). Further, it is presented a sufficient condition under which a nilpotent Lie algebra admits a local derivation which is not a derivation. With the same condition, it is proved the existence of pure local automorphism on a nilpotent Lie algebra. Finally, we present an $n$-dimensional non-associative algebra for which the space of local derivations coincides with the space of derivations.
