Small Semisimple Subalgebras of Semisimple Lie Algebras

چکیده
The goal of Section 2 is to provide a proof of Theorem 2.0.1. Section 3 introduces the necessary facts about Lie algebras and representation theory, with the goal being the proof of Proposition 3.5.7 (ultimately as an application of Theorem 2.0.1), and Proposition 3.3.1. In Section 4 we prove the main theorem, using Propositions 3.3.1 and 3.5.7. In Section 5, we apply the theorem to the special case where g is the exceptional Lie algebra G2, and k is a principal sl2-subalgebra of g. We obtain a sharp estimate of b(k, g) (in this case).

Locally semisimple and maximal subalgebras of the finitary Lie algebras gl ( ∞ ) , sl ( ∞ ) , so ( ∞ ) , and sp ( ∞ )
We describe all locally semisimple subalgebras and all maximal subalgebras of the finitary Lie algebras gl(∞), sl(∞), so(∞), and sp(∞). For simple finite–dimensional Lie algebras these classes of subalgebras have been described in the classical works of A. Malcev and E. Dynkin.
متن کاملOn the Cartan Subalgebras of Lie Algebras over Small Fields
In this note we study Cartan subalgebras of Lie algebras defined over finite fields. We prove that a possible Lie algebra of minimal dimension without Cartan subalgebras is semisimple. Subsequently, we study Cartan subalgebras of gl(n, F ). AMS classification: 17B50
متن کاملMinimal Faithful Representations of Reductive Lie Algebras
We prove an explicit formula for the invariant μ(g) for finite-dimensional semisimple, and reductive Lie algebras g over C. Here μ(g) is the minimal dimension of a faithful linear representation of g. The result can be used to study Dynkin’s classification of maximal reductive subalgebras of semisimple Lie algebras.
متن کاملFiltrations in Semisimple Lie Algebras, I
In this paper, we study the maximal bounded Z-filtrations of a complex semisimple Lie algebra L. Specifically, we show that if L is simple of classical type An, Bn, Cn or Dn, then these filtrations correspond uniquely to a precise set of linear functionals on its root space. We obtain partial, but not definitive, results in this direction for the remaining exceptional algebras. Maximal bounded ...
متن کاملFiltrations in Semisimple Lie Algebras, Ii
In this paper, we continue our study of the maximal bounded Z-filtrations of a complex semisimple Lie algebra L. Specifically, we discuss the functionals which give rise to such filtrations, and we show that they are related to certain semisimple subalgebras of L of full rank. In this way, we determine the “order” of these functionals and count them without the aid of computer computations. The...
