    Abstract

    The finite dimensional simple modular Lie algebras with Cartan matrix cannot
    be deformed if the characteristic p of the ground field is equal to 0 or
    greater than 3. If p=3, the orthogonal Lie algebra o(5)is one of the two simple
    modular Lie algebras with Cartan matrix that have deformations (the Brown
    algebras br(2; a) are among these 10-dimensional deforms and hence are not
    counted separately); the 29-dimensional Brown algebra br(3) is the only other
    simple Lie algebra with Cartan matrix that has deformations.

  2. On Hopf 2-algebras.

    Abstract

    Our main goal in this paper is to translate the diagram relating groups,

    Lie algebras and Hopf algebras to the corresponding 2-objects, i.e. to
    categorify it. This is done interpreting 2-objects as crossed modules and
    showing the compatibility of the standard functors linking groups, Lie algebras
    and Hopf algebras with the concept of a crossed module. One outcome is the
    construction of an enveloping algebra of the string Lie algebra of Baez-Crans,
    another is the clarification of the passage from crossed modules of Hopf
    algebras to Hopf 2-algebras.
