On the Schur -multiplier and -covers of Leibniz -algebras

arXiv:2004.13658

Abstract

In this article, we study the notion of central extension of Leibniz -algebras relative to -Lie algebras to study properties of Schur -multiplier and -covers on Leibniz -algebras. We provide a characterization of -perfect Leibniz -algebras by means of universal -central extensions. It is also provided some inequalities on the dimension of the Schur -multiplier of Leibniz -algebras. Analogue to Wiegold [38] and Green [17] results on groups or Moneyhun [26] result on Lie algebras, we provide upper bounds for the dimension of the -commutator of a Leibniz -algebra with finite dimensional -central factor, and also for the dimension of the Schur -multiplier of a finite dimensional Leibniz -algebra.
