|Casimir Operators and Nilpotent Radicals|
It is shown that a Lie algebra having a nilpotent radical has a fundamental set of invariants consisting of Casimir operators. A different proof is given in the well known special case of an abelian radical. A result relating the number of invariants to the dimension of the Cartan subalgebra is also established.
Keywords:nilpotent radical, Casimir operators, algebraic Lie algebras, Cartan subalgebras, number of invariants

|Nondegeneracy for Lie Triple Systems and Kantor Pairs|
We study the transfer of nondegeneracy between Lie triple systems and their standard Lie algebra envelopes as well as between Kantor pairs, their associated Lie triple systems, and their Lie algebra envelopes. We also show that simple Kantor pairs and Lie triple systems in characteristic $0$ are nondegenerate.
Keywords:Kantor pairs, Lie triple systems, Lie algebras

|A Semiregularity Map Annihilating Obstructions to Deforming Holomorphic Maps|
We study infinitesimal deformations of holomorphic maps of compact, complex, KÃ¤hler manifolds. In particular, we describe a generalization of Bloch's semiregularity map that annihilates obstructions to deform holomorphic maps with fixed codomain.
Keywords:semiregularity map, obstruction theory, functors of Artin rings, differential graded Lie algebras

|Resolutions of Associative and Lie Algebras |
Certain canonical resolutions are described for free associative and free Lie algebras in the category of non-associative algebras. These resolutions derive in both cases from geometric objects, which in turn reflect the combinatorics of suitable collections of leaf-labeled trees.
Keywords:resolutions, homology, Lie algebras, associative algebras, non-associative algebras, Jacobi identity, leaf-labeled trees, associahedron
