Introduction
Algebraic classification (up to isomorphism) of -dimensional algebras from a certain variety defined by some family of polynomial identities is a classical problem in the theory of non-associative algebras. There are many results related to algebraic classification of small dimensional algebras in varieties of Jordan, Lie, Leibniz, Zinbiel and many another algebras [3, 8, 18, 10, 11, 12, 13, 19, 22, 29]. Another interesting direction in classifications of algebras is geometric classification. We refer the reader to [27, 28, 29, 32] for results in this direction for Jordan, Lie, Leibniz, Zinbiel and other algebras. In the present paper, we give algebraic classification of nilpotent algebras of a new class of non-associative algebras introduced by Dzhumadildaev in [15].
An algebra is called a Zinbiel algebra if it satisfies the identity
[TABLE]
Zinbiel algebras were introduced by Loday in [30] and studied in [9, 14, 16, 17, 27, 31, 34]. Under the Koszul duality, the operad of Zinbiel algebras is dual to the operad of Leibniz algebras. Zinbiel algebras are also related to Tortkara algebras [15] and Tortkara triple systems [5]. More precisely, every Zinbiel algebra with the commutator multiplication gives a Tortkara algebra. An anticommutative algebra is called a Tortkara algebra if it satisfies the identity
[TABLE]
It is easy to see that every metabelian Lie algebra (i.e., ) is a Tortkara algebra and every dual Mock-Lie algebra (i.e., antiassociative and anticommutative) is a Tortkara algebra.
Our method of classification of nilpotent Tortkara algebras is based on calculations of central extensions of smaller nilpotent algebras from the same variety. Central extensions play an important role in quantum mechanics: one of the earlier encounters is by means of Wigner’s theorem which states that a symmetry of a quantum mechanical system determines an (anti-)unitary transformation of a Hilbert space. Another area of physics where one encounters central extensions is the quantum theory of conserved currents of a Lagrangian. These currents span an algebra which is closely related to so called affine Kac-Moody algebras, which are universal central extensions of loop algebras. Central extensions are needed in physics, because the symmetry group of a quantized system usually is a central extension of the classical symmetry group, and in the same way the corresponding symmetry Lie algebra of the quantum system is, in general, a central extension of the classical symmetry algebra. Kac-Moody algebras have been conjectured to be a symmetry groups of a unified superstring theory. The centrally extended Lie algebras play a dominant role in quantum field theory, particularly in conformal field theory, string theory and in -theory. In the theory of Lie groups, Lie algebras and their representations, a Lie algebra extension is an enlargement of a given Lie algebra by another Lie algebra Extensions arise in several ways. There is a trivial extension obtained by taking a direct sum of two Lie algebras. Other types are a split extension and a central extension. Extensions may arise naturally, for instance, when forming a Lie algebra from projective group representations. A central extension and an extension by a derivation of a polynomial loop algebra over finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra give a Lie algebra which is isomorphic to a non-twisted affine Kac-Moody algebra [4, Chapter 19]. Using the centrally extended loop algebra one may construct a current algebra in two spacetime dimensions. The Virasoro algebra is the universal central extension of the Witt algebra, the Heisenberg algebra is the central extension of a commutative Lie algebra [4, Chapter 18].
The algebraic study of central extensions of Lie and non-Lie algebras has a very long history [2, 20, 21, 25, 33, 35]. Thus, Skjelbred and Sund used central extensions of Lie algebras for a classification of nilpotent Lie algebras [33]. After that, the method introduced by Skjelbred and Sund was used to describe all non-Lie central extensions of all -dimensional Malcev algebras [21], all non-associative central extensions of -dimensional Jordan algebras [20], all anticommutative central extensions of -dimensional anticommutative algebras [6], all central extensions of -dimensional algebras [7]. The method of central extensions was used to describe all -dimensional nilpotent associative algebras [12], all -dimensional nilpotent bicommutative algebras [26], all -dimensional nilpotent Novikov algebras [24], all -dimensional nilpotent Jordan algebras [19], all -dimensional nilpotent restricted Lie algebras [11], all -dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras [10, 13], all -dimensional nilpotent Malcev algebras [22], all -dimensional nilpotent binary Lie algebras[3], all -dimensional nilpotent anticommutative -algebras [3] and some other.
1. Preliminaries
1.1. Method of classification of nilpotent algebras
Throughout this paper, we use the notations and methods described in [20, 21, 7] and adapted for the Tortkara case with some modifications. From now on, we will give only some important definitions.
Let be a Tortkara algebra over and a vector space over the same base field. Then the -linear space is defined as the set of all skew-symmetric bilinear maps such that
[TABLE]
Its elements will be called cocycles. For a linear map from to , if we define by , then . Let . One can easily check that is a linear subspace of whose elements are called coboundaries. We define the second cohomology space as the quotient space {\rm Z_{T}^{2}}\left({\bf A},{\mathbb{V}}\right)\big{/}{\rm B}^{2}\left({\bf A},{\mathbb{V}}\right).
Let be the automorphism group of the Tortkara algebra and let . For define . Then . So, acts on . It is easy to verify that is invariant under the action of , and thus acts on .
Let be a Tortkara algebra of dimension over , and be a -vector space of dimension . For any define on the linear space the bilinear product “” by for all . Then is a Tortkara algebra called an -dimensional central extension of by . In fact, is a Tortkara algebra if and only if .
We also call the set the annihilator of . We recall that the annihilator of an algebra is defined as the ideal and observe that
We have the next key result:
Lemma 1**.**
Let be an -dimensional Tortkara algebra such that . Then there exists, up to isomorphism, a unique -dimensional Tortkara algebra and a bilinear map with , where is a vector space of dimension m, such that and .
- Proof.
Let be a linear complement of in . Define a linear map by for and and define a multiplication on by for . For we have
[TABLE]
Since is a homomorphism, then is a Tortkara algebra and which gives us the uniqueness of . Now, define the map by . Then is and therefore and .
However, in order to solve the isomorphism problem, we need to study the action of on . To this end, let us fix a basis of , and . Then can be uniquely written as , where . Moreover, . Further, if and only if all .
Definition 2**.**
Given a Tortkara algebra , if is a direct sum of two ideals, then is called an annihilator component of .
Definition 3**.**
A central extension of an algebra without an annihilator component is called a non-split central extension.
It is not difficult to prove (see [21, Lemma 13]) that, given a Tortkara algebra , if we write as above and we have , then has an annihilator component if and only if are linearly dependent in .
Let be a finite-dimensional vector space over . The Grassmannian is the set of all -dimensional linear subspaces of . Let be the Grassmannian of subspaces of dimension in . There is a natural action of on . Let . For define . Then . We denote the orbit of under the action of by . Since, given
[TABLE]
we easily have that if , then , we can introduce the set
[TABLE]
which is stable under the action of .
Now, let be an -dimensional linear space and let us denote by the set of all non-split -dimensional central extensions of by We can write
[TABLE]
Also, we have the next result, which can be proved as [21, Lemma 17].
Lemma 4**.**
Let Suppose that and . Then the Tortkara algebras and are isomorphic if and only if
[TABLE]
Thus, there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the set of -orbits on and the set of isomorphism classes of . Consequently, we have a procedure that allows us, given a Tortkara algebra of dimension , to construct all non-split central extensions of This procedure is as follows:
Procedure
- (1)
For a given (nilpotent) Tortkara algebra of dimension , determine and . 2. (2)
Determine the set of -orbits on . 3. (3)
For each orbit, construct the Tortkara algebra corresponding to one of its representatives.
The above described method gives all (Malcev and non-Malcev) Tortkara algebras. But we are interested in developing this method in such a way that it only gives non-Malcev Tortkara algebras, because the classification of all Malcev-Tortkara algebras is a part of the classification of all Malcev algebras [28, 22]. Clearly, any central extension of a non-Malcev Tortkara algebra is non-Malcev. But a Malcev-Tortkara algebra may have extensions which are Malcev algebras. More precisely, let be a Malcev algebra and . Then is a Malcev algebra if and only if
[TABLE]
for all . Define the subspace of by
[TABLE]
Observe that . Let {\rm H_{TM}^{2}}\left({\bf M},{\mathbb{C}}\right)={\rm Z_{TM}^{2}}\left({\bf M},{\mathbb{C}}\right)\big{/}B^{2}\left({\bf M},{\mathbb{C}}\right). Then is a subspace of . Define
[TABLE]
Then . The sets and are stable under the action of . Thus, the Tortkara algebras corresponding to the representatives of -orbits on are Malcev algebras, while those corresponding to the representatives of -orbits on are not Malcev algebras. Hence, we may construct all non-split non-Malcev Tortkara algebras of dimension with -dimensional annihilator from a given Tortkara algebra of dimension in the following way:
- (1)
If is non-Malcev, then apply the Procedure. 2. (2)
Otherwise, do the following:
- (a)
Determine and . 2. (b)
Determine the set of -orbits on . 3. (c)
For each orbit, construct the Tortkara algebra corresponding to one of its representatives.
1.2. Notations
Let us introduce the following notations. Let be a Tortkara algebra with a basis . Then by we will denote the bilinear form with , if , and . The set is a basis for the linear space of skew-symmetric bilinear forms on , so every can be uniquely written as , where . We also denote by
[TABLE]
1.3. Central extensions of nilpotent low dimensional Tortkara algebras
There are no nontrivial - and -dimensional nilpotent Tortkara algebras. Thanks to [6] we have the description of all non-split - and -dimensional nilpotent Tortkara algebras:
\begin{array}[]{lllll lll}{\mathbb{T}}^{3}_{01}&:&e_{1}e_{2}=e_{3};\\ {\mathbb{T}}^{4}_{02}&:&e_{1}e_{2}=e_{3},&e_{1}e_{3}=e_{4}.\end{array}
Also, it is easy to see that every anticommutative central extension of is a Lie algebra.

3.1. The algebraic classification of -dimensional nilpotent Tortkara algebras
Since , each central extension of is a Malcev algebra. On the other hand, by some easy calculations, using the algebraic classification of -dimensional nilpotent Malcev algebras [22], one can see that each -dimensional nilpotent Malcev algebra is a Tortkara algebra. Combining this with the result of previous section, we have the algebraic classification of all nontrivial -dimensional nilpotent Tortkara algebras:

4. Main result
The algebraic classification of all -dimensional nilpotent Malcev algebras was obtained in [22]. As it was proved in [22], every -dimensional nilpotent Malcev algebra is metabelian (i.e. ). In particular, every -dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra is metabelian, and hence it is a Tortkara algebra. By some easy verification of all -dimensional nilpotent non-Lie Malcev algebras, one can see that all these algebras are also Tortkara. Now we have
