Noncomplete affine structures on Lie algebras of maximal class

Every affine structure on Lie algebra 𝔤 defines a representation of 𝔤 in aff(ℝn). If 𝔤 is a nilpotent Lie algebra provided with a complete affine structure then the corresponding representation is nilpotent. We describe noncomplete affine structures on the filiform Lie algebra Ln. As a consequence w...

description Every affine structure on Lie algebra 𝔤 defines a representation of 𝔤 in aff(ℝn). If 𝔤 is a nilpotent Lie algebra provided with a complete affine structure then the corresponding representation is nilpotent. We describe noncomplete affine structures on the filiform Lie algebra Ln. As a consequence we give a nonnilpotent faithful linear representation of the 3-dimensional Heisenberg algebra.
