2 Generalized Reductive Lie

چکیده
We investigate a class of Lie algebras which we call generalized reductive Lie algebras. These are generalizations of semi-simple, reductive, and affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. A generalized reductive Lie algebra which has an irreducible root system is said to be irreducible and we note that this class of algebras have been under intensive investigation in recent years. They have also been called extended affine Lie algebras. The larger class of generalized reductive Lie algebras has not been so intensively investigated. We study them in this paper and note that one way they arise is as fixed point subalgebras of finite order automorphisms. We show that the core modulo the center of a generalized reductive Lie algebra is a direct sum of centerless Lie tori. Therefore one can use the results known about the classification of centerless Lie tori to classify the cores modulo centers of generalized reductive Lie algebras. 0. Introduction In 1990 Høegh-Krohn and B Torresani [HK-T] introduced a new interesting class of Lie algebras over field of complex numbers, called quasi simple Lie algebras by proposing a system of fairly natural and not very restrictive axioms. These Lie algebras are characterized by the existence of a symmetric nondegenerate invariant bilinear form, a finite dimensional Cartan subalgebra, a discrete root system which contains some nonisotropic roots, and the ad-nilpotency of the root spaces attached to non-isotropic roots. As it will appear from the sequel, these algebras are natural generalizations of reductive Lie algebras, and affine Kac–Moody Lie algebras. For this reason and other reasons indicated in the introduction of the paper [AABGP] we

A Construction of Generalized Harish-chandra Modules for Locally Reductive Lie Algebras
We study cohomological induction for a pair (g, k), g being an infinite dimensional locally reductive Lie algebra and k ⊂ g being of the form k0 + Cg(k0), where k0 ⊂ g is a finite dimensional reductive in g subalgebra and Cg(k0) is the centralizer of k0 in g. We prove a general non-vanishing and k-finiteness theorem for the output. This yields in particular simple (g, k)-modules of finite type ...
متن کاملGeneralized Harish-Chandra Modules: A New Direction in the Structure Theory of Representations
Let g be a reductive Lie algebra over C. We say that a g-module M is a generalized Harish-Chandra module if, for some subalgebra k ⊂ g, M is locally k-finite and has finite k-multiplicities. We believe that the problem of classifying all irreducible generalized Harish-Chandra modules could be tractable. In this paper, we review the recent success with the case when k is a Cartan subalgebra. We ...
متن کاملAnnihilators of Generalized Verma Modules of the Scalar Type for Classical Lie Algebras
We construct a generator system of the annihilator of a generalized Verma module of a classical reductive Lie algebra induced from a character of a parabolic subalgebra as an analogue of the minimal polynomial of a matrix. In a classical limit it gives a generator system of the defining ideal of any semisimple co-adjoint orbit of the Lie algebra. We also give some applications to integral geome...
متن کاملGeneralized triangle inequalities and their applications
We present a survey of our recent work on generalized triangle inequalities in infinitesimal symmetric spaces, nonpositively curved symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings. We also explain how these results can be used to analyze some basic problems of algebraic group theory including the problem of decomposition of tensor products of irreducible representations of complex reductive Lie groups...
متن کاملGradient Flows, Convexity, and Adjoint Orbits
This dissertation studies some matrix results and gives their generalizations in the context of semisimple Lie groups. The adjoint orbit is the primary object in our study. The dissertation consists of four chapters. Chapter 1 is a brief introduction about the interplay between matrix theory and Lie theory. In Chapter 2 we introduce some structure theory of semisimple Lie groups and Lie algebra...
