In this paper we determine the homology with trivial coefficients of the free two-step nilpotent Lie algebras over the complex numbers. This is done by working out the structure of the homology as a module under the general linear group. The main tool is a Laplacian for the free two-step nilpotent L

β¦ Synopsis
We find an explicit formula for the total dimension of the homology of a free 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra. We analyse the asymptotics of this formula and use it to find an improved lower bound on the total dimension of the homology of any 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra.

We consider the homology of ΓΏnite-dimensional-graded Lie algebras with coe cients in a ΓΏnite-dimensional-graded module. By a combinatorial approach we give a lower bound for their total homology. Our result extends a result of Deninger and Singhof for the case of trivial coe cients. Applications for

In the paper one- and two-dimensional cohomology is compared for finite and infinite nilpotent Lie algebras, with coefficients in the adjoint representation. It turns out that, because the adjoint representation is not a highest weight representation in infinite dimension, the considered cohomology
We show that the product by generators preserves the characteristic nilpotence of Lie algebras, provided that the multiplied algebras belongs to the class of S-algebras. In particular, this shows the existence of nonsplit characteristically nilpotent Lie algebras h such that the quotient dim hdim Z(
