Non-solvable contractions of semisimple Lie algebras in low dimension

چکیده
The problem of non-solvable contractions of Lie algebras is analyzed. By means of a stability theorem, the problem is shown to be deeply related to the embeddings among semisimple Lie algebras and the resulting branching rules for representations. With this procedure, we determine all deformations of indecomposable Lie algebras having a nontrivial Levi decomposition onto semisimple Lie algebras of dimension n ≤ 8, and obtain the non-solvable contractions of the latter class of algebras.

متن کاملSolvable Lie algebras with $N(R_n,m,r)$ nilradical
In this paper, we classify the indecomposable non-nilpotent solvable Lie algebras with $N(R_n,m,r)$ nilradical,by using the derivation algebra and the automorphism group of $N(R_n,m,r)$.We also prove that these solvable Lie algebras are complete and unique, up to isomorphism.
متن کاملSimple completable contractions of nilpotent Lie algebras
We study a certain class of non-maximal rank contractions of the nilpotent Lie algebra gm and show that these contractions are completable Lie algebras. As a consequence a family of solvable complete Lie algebras of non-maximal rank is given in arbitrary dimension. . AMS Math. Subj. Class. 17B10, 17B30.
متن کاملVirtual copies of semisimple Lie algebras in enveloping algebras of semidirect products and Casimir operators
Given a semidirect product g = s ⊎ r of semisimple Lie algebras s and solvable algebras r, we construct polynomial operators in the enveloping algebra U(g) of g that commute with r and transform like the generators of s, up to a functional factor that turns out to be a Casimir operator of r. Such operators are said to generate a virtual copy of s in U(g), and allow to compute the Casimir operat...
متن کاملClassification of Finite-dimensional Semisimple Lie Algebras
Every finite-dimensional Lie algebra is a semi-direct product of a solvable Lie algebra and a semisimple Lie algebra. Classifying the solvable Lie algebras is difficult, but the semisimple Lie algebras have a relatively easy classification. We discuss in some detail how the representation theory of the particular Lie algebra sl2 tightly controls the structure of general semisimple Lie algebras,...
