    The length of the spectral sequence of a Lie algebra extension.

    Friday 7th May, 12-1pm, Carslaw 375.

    The length of the spectral sequence of a Lie algebra extension is at most 1 plus the dimension of the quotient algebra. I shall show that this bound can be attained for arbitrarily large quotient algebras, even when the algebra is nilpotent and the extension splits.
