In this work, we show that the existence of invertible generalized derivations impose strong restrictions on the structure of a complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra. In particular, we recover the fact that a real Lie algebra admitting an abelian complex structure is necessarily solvable. On the other hand, we state a structure theorem for a Lie algebra [Formula: see text] admitting a periodic generalized derivation [Formula: see text].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
