Abstract

It is known that the total (co)-homoloy of a 2-step nilpotcnt Lie algebra g is at least 2|j|, where j is the center of g. We improve this result by showing that a better lower bound is 2t, where t = |j| +: [|v|+1/2] and v is a complement of j in g. Furthermore, we provide evidence that this is the best possible bound of the form 2t.
