1. Introduction
Leibniz algebras are characterized as algebras whose the right multiplication operators are derivations, it is a generalization of Lie algebra, while for a Leibniz algebra to be a Lie algebra it suffices to add the condition that the operators of right and left multiplications alternate. Leibniz algebras have been introduced by Loday in [23] as algebras satisfying the (right) Leibniz identity:
[TABLE]
During the last decades the theory of Leibniz algebras has been actively studied. Some (co)homology and deformation properties; results on various types of decompositions; structure of solvable and nilpotent Leibniz algebras; classifications of some classes of graded nilpotent Leibniz algebras were obtained in numerous papers devoted to Leibniz algebras, see, for example, [15, 4, 24, 7, 16, 22, 18, 20, 8, 11, 13, 12] and reference therein.
In fact, many results on Lie algebras have been extended to the Leibniz algebra case. For instance, an analogue of Levi’s theorem for the case of Leibniz algebras asserts that Leibniz algebra is decomposed into a semidirect sum of its solvable radical and a semisimple Lie subalgebra [7]. Therefore, the description of finite-dimensional Leibniz algebras shifts to the study of solvable Leibniz algebras. Since the method of the reconstruction of solvable Lie algebras from their nilpotent radicals (see [25]) was extended to the Leibniz algebras [10], the main problem of the description of finite-dimensional Leibniz algebras consists of the study of nilpotent Leibniz algebras. Numerous works are devoted to the description of solvable Lie and Leibniz algebras with a given nilpotent radical (see [5, 6, 1, 9, 19, 26] and reference therein).
It is known that any Leibniz algebra law can be considered as a point of an affine algebraic variety defined by the polynomial equations coming from the Leibniz identity for a given basis. This way provides a description of the difficulties in classification problems referring to the classes of nilpotent and solvable Leibniz algebras. The orbits under the base change action of the general linear group correspond to the isomorphism classes of Leibniz algebras therefore, the classification problems (up to isomorphism) can be reduced to the classification of these orbits. An affine algebraic variety is a union of a finite number of irreducible components and the Zariski open orbits provide interesting classes of Leibniz algebras to be classified. The Leibniz algebras of this class are called rigid.
In the study of nilpotent Lie algebras a very useful tool is characteristic sequence, which a priori gives the multiplication on one basis element. Recently, in the paper [2] it was considered a finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebra whose nilpotent radical has the simplest structure with a given characteristic sequence . Using Hochschild – Serre factorization theorem the authors established that for the algebra low order cohomology groups with coefficient in itself are trivial.
In this paper we consider the family of nilpotent Leibniz algebras such that its corresponding Lie algebra is Further, solvable Leibniz algebras with such nilpotent radicals and -dimensional complementary subspaces to the nilpotent radicals are described. Namely, we prove that such solvable Leibniz algebra is unique and centerless. For this Leibniz algebra the triviality of the first and the second cohomology groups with coefficient in itself is established as well.
2. Preliminaries
Throughout the paper, all vector spaces and algebras considered are finite-dimensional over the field of complex numbers . Moreover, in the table of multiplication of an algebra the omitted products are assumed to be zero.
In this section we give necessary definitions and results on solvable Leibniz algebras and its construction with a given nilpotent radical.
Definition 1**.**
An algebra is called a Leibniz algebra if it satisfies the property

The Leibniz identity is a generalization of the Jacobi identity since under the condition of anti-symmetricity of the product ”[]” this identity changes to the Jacobi identity. In fact, Leibniz algebras is characterized by the property that any right multiplication operator is a derivation.
For a Leibniz algebra , a subspace generated by squares of its elements is a two-sided ideal, and the quotient is a Lie algebra called corresponding Lie algebra (sometimes also called by liezation) of
For a given Leibniz algebra we can define the following two-sided ideals

Applying the Leibniz identity we obtain that for any two elements of an algebra the elements in .
The notion of a derivation for Leibniz algebras is defined in a usual way and the set of all derivations of (denoted by ) forms a Lie algebra with respect to the commutator. Moreover, the operator of right multiplication on an element (further denoted by ) is a derivation, which is called inner derivation.
Definition 2**.**

Definition 7**.**
The sequence is called the characteristic sequence of the Leibniz algebra .
In the paper [2] it is considered the cohomological properties of a solvable Lie algebra whose nilpotent radical has a given characteristic sequence and complementary subspace to nilpotent radical has dimension equal to .
For characteristic sequence we consider the model nilpotent Lie algebra given by its non-zero products:

3. Main Part
Let us consider the following family of nilpotent Leibniz algebras with with a given table of multiplications:
[TABLE]
where and at least one of the parameters is non-zero.
One can assume that Indeed, if , then taking the following change of the basis
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
we have
[TABLE]
Taking into account that at least one of the parameters is non-zero, we always can chose values such that
[TABLE]
Therefore, we can conclude that parameter is non-zero. Now, scaling the basis element we can assume that , i.e., .
Thus, we consider the family of nilpotent Leibniz algebras with :
[TABLE]
where .
3.1. Particular case
In order to avoid routine calculations which involve many indexes we limit ourselves to the family with the following table of multiplications:

and Similar to the above case we have 3. (3)
and We consider the following:
- (a)
. Making the following change of basis: and we can suppose and by restrictions we have that Hence, 2. (b)
Then 3. (c)
By restrictions we have that Therefore,
∎
Lemma 13**.**
The number of nil-independent derivations of the algebra is equal to 4.
Proof.
We are going to prove that the matrix is a nilpotent matrix if and only if By Lemma 12, we have that
According Proposition 11 we have
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
are diagonal matrices, are strictly upper triangular matrices and the matrix is upper triangular matrix with non-zero diagonal under the main diagonal such that and
Note that matrices are nilpotent, the matrices and have the same type pattern as (that is if any entry of is the entry of and the entry of at the same position is zero, as well). Likewise, the matrix and has the same pattern as .
It is easy to see that with diagonal matrix and strictly upper triangular matrix Similarly, with diagonal matrix and strictly upper triangular matrix
According to the above arguments we have the following formula:
[TABLE]
where nilpotent matrices and the matrices and are the same type as and respectively and and are the following diagonal matrices:
[TABLE]
To continue iteration we conclude that in the main diagonal of the matrix will be equal to zero if and only if Thus, the nilpotency of the matrix implies
Let us assume now that . Then we obtain that matrices are strictly upper triangular and the matrix is upper triangular. Therefore, the matrix is nilpotent and hence, is nilpotent. ∎
Let be a solvable Leibniz algebra whose nilpotent radical is the algebras from We denote by the complementary subspace to a nilpotent radical of . Due to work [10] we have that dimension of is bounded by number of nil-independent derivations of
Let us introduce denotations

Due to Lemma 13 we have that the number of nil-independent derivations of is equal to 4 and they are depends on parameters . Let us assume that that is, . Then
[TABLE]
By scaling of the basis elements one can assume that in in , in , respectively.
Let us assume that (recall that this case is impossible when ). Thanks to Theorem 4 we have Applying this embedding in the following equalities:
[TABLE]
we get a contradiction with the assumption that . Thus, we obtain ∎
The following theorem describes solvable Leibniz algebras with nilpotent radical and maximal possible dimension of .
Theorem 15**.**
Solvable Leibniz algebra with nilpotent radical and three-dimensional complementary subspace is isomorphic to the algebra:
[TABLE]
Proof.
Let with such that
[TABLE]
Due to Proposition 11 we have the products
From the table of multiplications of the algebra we derive that

[TABLE]
Consider
[TABLE]
This imply that
We claim that . Indeed, let
[TABLE]
Then considering the products
[TABLE]
we derive
Thus, we obtain and
[TABLE]
It is easy to see that the quotient algebra is a particular case of the Lie algebra Namely, the quotient Lie algebra has nilpotent radical with characteristic sequence and its table of multiplication has the following form:
[TABLE]
If we now rise up to the initial algebra , then we get the following table of multiplications (we omit the bracket of the family ):
[TABLE]
with the Kronecker symbol, if and if
The Leibniz identity on the following triples imposes further constraints on the above family.
[TABLE]
At that time, the following change of basis
[TABLE]
allows to assume that for
We again apply the Leibniz identity and we have the following:
[TABLE]
Finally, if we consider the equalities with and with we obtain the algebra of the theorem statement.
∎
The next result establish the completeness of the algebra .
Theorem 16**.**
The solvable Leibniz algebra is complete.
Proof.
Centerless of the algebra is immediately follows from the table of multiplications in Theorem 15. Note that forms an ideal of .
The quotient algebra is the algebra , which is complete due to Theorem 8. Applying this result in the following equalities by modulo of an ideal :
[TABLE]
and in the chain of equalities
[TABLE]
we conclude that any derivation of is inner.
∎
Now we prove the triviality of the second group of cohomology for the algebra with coefficient itself (that is ). Since is an ideal of and quotient algebra is the Lie algebra , we get a decomposition as the direct sum of the vector spaces (here we identify the space of the quotient space and its preimage under the natural homomorphism). Hence, for any and one has
[TABLE]
with and .
For an arbitrary elements and using (1) we consider the chain of equalities:
[TABLE]
From this we obtain
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Note that the first six terms of the equality (3) define a Leibniz -cocycle for the quotient Lie algebra . Therefore, Leibniz -cocycles of the Lie algebra with its trivial extensions on domains are included into (the same is true for -coboundaries of the algebra ). Moreover, the last three terms in (3) appear only for the triples with .
Proposition 17**.**
The following -cochains together with a basis of :
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
form a basis of spaces and
Proof.
The proof of this proposition is carried out by straightforward calculations of (1) and (2) by using result of Theorem 8. In fact, due to Remark 10 and centerlessness of the Lie algebra we conclude that , that is, . Taking into account that is isomorphically embedded into (respectively, is isomorphically embedded into ) we need to find a basis of complementary subspaces to (respectively, to ).
Further, we consider the equalities for the following cases:
[TABLE]
from where we get the relations similar to the equations (3) and (4). In addition, calculations of (3) for the triples and (4) for give us some additional relations for complementary subspace to .
Finally, combining all restrictions on -cocycles and identifying the basis of complementary subspace to in we get the required basis of .
Applying the same arguments for -coboundaries we complete the proof of theorem. ∎
Remark 18*.*
In the above proposition we simplified the calculations using the results for the quotient Lie algebra . In fact, we exclude calculation of equalities (4) for the triples except Thus, instead of triples we calculated just triples in (4).
As a consequence of Proposition 17 we get the following main result.
Theorem 19**.**
The solvable Leibniz algebra is a cohomologically rigid algebra.
4. General case
In this section we present results similar to obtained in particular case for solvable Leibniz algebras with nilpotent radical and -dimensional complementary subspace.
Taking into account that the general case is analogous to a special case we omit routine calculations using indexes and induction in the proofs of results below, we just give short sketch their proofs.
The sketch consists of the following steps:
- (1)
Firstly, we compute the space with . Further, we indicate -pieces nil-independent derivations, which are depends on only non-zero parameters in the diagonal of the general matrix form of derivations. 2. (2)
Secondly, we construct the solvable Leibniz algebra with such that where are the nil-independent derivations indicated in the first step. Next, applying the Leibniz identity, the appropriate basis transformations and the mathematical induction we obtain the statement of Theorem 20. 3. (3)
In order to prove the completeness of the solvable Leibniz algebra (the first assertion of Theorem 21) we just need to verify the table of multiplications of obtained in the second step and using the fact that any derivation of the quotient Lie algebra is inner together with arguments applied in the proof of the particular case (see Theorem 16) allow us to prove the completeness of the algebra . 4. (4)
Finally, in the study of the second cohomology group of the algebra we also use the triviality of the second group of cohomologies for the quotient algebra , that is, we use the equality . By arguments applied in before Proposition 17 and due to Remark 10 we conclude
[TABLE]
we only need to compute the dimensions of complementary subspaces to (respectively, to ) in (respectively, in ). Thus, the proof of triviality of the second cohomology group for the algebra with coefficient itself is completed by computations of dimensions of the mentioned complementary subspaces.
Theorem 20**.**
Solvable Leibniz algebra with nilpotent radical and -dimensional complementary subspace is isomorphic to the algebra:
[TABLE]
where
Theorem 21**.**
The solvable Leibniz algebra is complete and its second group of cohomologies in coefficient itself is trivial.
From the results of the paper [4] we obtain rigidity of the algebra .
Corollary 22**.**

Remark 23*.*
Note that the structure of the rigid algebra depends on the given decreasing sequence Set the number of such sequences, that is, is the number of integer solutions of the equation with The asymptotic value of , given in [17] by the expression (where means that ) get the existence of at least irreducible components of the variety of Leibniz algebras of dimension .
