The Schur multipliers of Lie algebras of maximal class

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be a non-abelian nilpotent Lie algebra of dimension [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be its Schur multiplier. It was proved by the second author the dimension of the Schur multiplier is equal to [Formula: see text] for some [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we classify all nilpotent Lie algebras of maximal class for [Formula: see text]. The dimension of Schur multiplier of such Lie algebras is also bounded by [Formula: see text]. Here, we give the structure of all nilpotent Lie algebras of maximal class [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] and then we show that all of them are capable.
