2-step nilpotent Lie groups arising from semisimple modules

Differential Geometry 2008-06-18 v1

Abstract

Every finite dimensional real representation of a compact real semisimple Lie algebra determines a metric 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra and a corresponding simply connected metric 2-step nilpotent Lie group N. We study the differential geometry of N using representation theory of the complexified complex semisimple Lie algebra.
