Simple algebras of Weyl type

Over a field $F$ of any characteristic, for a commutative associative algebra $A$ with an identity element and for the polynomial algebra $F[D]$ of a commutative derivation subalgebra $D$ of $A$, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type on the same vector space $A[D]=A\otimes F[D]$ are defined. It is proved that $A[D]$, as a Lie algebra (modular its center) or as an associative algebra, is simple if and only if $A$ is $D$-simple and $A[D]$ acts faithfully on $A$. Thus a lot of simple algebras are obtained.Comment: 9 pages, Late

Phase Splitting for Periodic Lie Systems

In the context of the Floquet theory, using a variation of parameter argument, we show that the logarithm of the monodromy of a real periodic Lie system with appropriate properties admits a splitting into two parts, called dynamic and geometric phases. The dynamic phase is intrinsic and linked to the Hamiltonian of a periodic linear Euler system on the co-algebra. The geometric phase is represented as a surface integral of the symplectic form of a co-adjoint orbit.Comment: (v1) 15 pages. (v2) 16 pages. Some typos corrected.

A (non-associative) algebra A, over a field k, is called homogeneous if its automorphism group permutes transitively the one dimensional subspaces of A. Suppose A is a nontrivial finite dimensional homogeneous algebra over an infinite field. Then we prove that x(2) = 0 for all x in A, and so xy = yx for all x; y is an element of A
