Abstract

Lie algebras of maximal class (or filiform Lie algebras) are the Lie-theoretic analogue of pro-p-groups of maximal class. In particular, they are 2-generated. If one further assumes that the algebras are graded over the positive integers, then over a field of characteristic p it has been shown that a classification is possible provided one generator has degree 1 and the other has either degree 1 or 2. In this thesis I give a classification of graded Lie algebras of maximal class with generators of degree 1 and p, respectively.
