چکیده
Let g be a complex simple Lie algebra and b a fixed Borel subalgebra of g. We shall describe the abelian ideals of b in a uniform way, that is, independent of the classification of complex simple Lie algebras.

Abelian Ideals with given Dimension in Borel Subalgebras
A well-known Peterson’s theorem says that the number of abelian ideals in a Borel subalgebra of a rank-r finite dimensional simple Lie algebra is exactly 2r . In this paper, we determine the dimensional distribution of abelian ideals in a Borel subalgebra of finite dimensional simple Lie algebras, which is a refinement of the Peterson’s theorem capturing more Lie algebra invariants.
متن کاملAbelian Ideals of a Borel Subalgebra and Long Positive Roots
Let b be a Borel subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra g. Let Ab denote the set of all Abelian ideals of b. It is easily seen that any a ∈ Ab is actually contained in the nilpotent radical of b. Therefore a is determined by the the corresponding set of roots. More precisely, let t be a Cartan subalgebra of g lying in b and let ∆ be the root system of the pair (g, t). Choose ∆, the system of positi...

متن کاملPowers of the Euler product and commutative subalgebras of a complex simple Lie algebra
If g is a complex simple Lie algebra, and k does not exceed the dual Coxeter number of g, then the k coefficient of the dim g power of the Euler product may be given by the dimension of a subspace of ∧g defined by all abelian subalgebras of g of dimension k. This has implications for all the coefficients of all the powers of the Euler product. Involved in the main results are Dale Peterson’s 2 ...
متن کاملad-NILPOTENT IDEALS OF A BOREL SUBALGEBRA II
We provide an explicit bijection between the ad-nilpotent ideals of a Borel subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra g and the orbits of Q̌/(h + 1)Q̌ under the Weyl group (Q̌ being the coroot lattice and h the Coxeter number of g). From this result we deduce in a uniform way a counting formula for the ad-nilpotent ideals.
