Multipliers of Nilpotent Diassociative Algebras (2202.07563v1)

Abstract: The paper concerns nilpotent associative dialgebras and their corresponding diassociative Schur multipliers. Using Lie (and group) theory as a guide, we first extend a classic five-term cohomological sequence under alternative conditions in the nilpotent setting. This main result is then applied to obtain a new proof for a previous extension of the same sequence. It also yields a different extension of the sequence that involves terms in the upper central series. Furthermore, we use the main result to obtain a collection of dimension bounds on the multiplier of a nilpotent diassociative algebra. These differ notably from the Lie case. Since diassociative algebras generalize associative algebras, we obtain an associative analogue of the results herein. We conclude by computing both the associative and diassociative multipliers of an associative algebra. This paper is part of an ongoing project to advance extension theory in the context of several Loday algebras.
