The algebraic and geometric classification of nilpotent terminal algebras (1909.00358v2)

Abstract: We give algebraic and geometric classifications of $4$-dimensional complex nilpotent terminal algebras. Specifically, we find that, up to isomorphism, there are $41$ one-parameter families of $4$-dimensional nilpotent terminal (non-Leibniz) algebras, $18$ two-parameter families of $4$-dimensional nilpotent terminal (non-Leibniz) algebras, $2$ three-parameter families of $4$-dimensional nilpotent terminal (non-Leibniz) algebras, complemented by $21$ additional isomorphism classes. The corresponding geometric variety has dimension 17 and decomposes into 3 irreducible components determined by the Zariski closures of a one-parameter family of algebras, a two-parameter family of algebras and a three-parameter family of algebras. In particular, there are no rigid $4$-dimensional complex nilpotent terminal algebras.
