One of the classic results of group theory is the so-called Schur theorem. It states that if the central factor-group G/ζ(G) of a group G is finite, then its derived subgroup [G,G] is also finite. This theorem was proved by B. Neumann in 1951. This result has numerous generalizations and modifications in group theory. At the same time, similar investigations were conducted in other algebraic structures, namely in modules, linear groups, topological groups, n-groups, associative algebras, Lie algebras, Lie n-algebras. In 2016, L.A. Kurdachenko, J. Otal and O.O. Pypka proved an analogue of Schur theorem for Leibniz algebras: if central factor-algebra L/ζ(L) of Leibniz algebra L has finite dimension, then its derived ideal [L,L] is also finite-dimensional. Moreover, they also proved a slightly modified analogue of Schur theorem: if the codimensions of the left ζ^l (L) and right ζ^r (L) centers of Leibniz algebra L are finite, then its derived ideal [L,L] is also finite-dimensional. One of the generalizations of Leibniz algebras is the so-called Leibniz n-algebras. It is worth noting that Leibniz n-algebra theory is currently much less developed than Leibniz algebra theory. One of the directions of development of the general theory of Leibniz n-algebras is the search for analogies with other types of algebras. Therefore, the question of proving analogs of the above results for this type of algebras naturally arises. In this article, we prove the analogues of the two mentioned theorems for Leibniz n-algebras for the case n=3. The obtained results indicate the prospects of further research in this direction.
