Abstract

A nn-dimensional Lie algebra g=(V,μ)g=(V,\mu) is called 22-compatible if it is isomorphic to a quadratic deformation of a Lie algebra g0=(V,μ0)g_0=(V,\mu_0). By quadratic deformation we means a formal deformation μt=μ0+tφ1+t2φ2\mu_t=\mu_0+t\varphi_1+t^2\varphi_2 where μt\mu_t is a Lie algebra on VK[[t]]V \otimes K[[t]]. It is equivalent to say that we have the following system i+j4φiφj=0\sum_{i+j \leq 4} \varphi_i \circ \varphi_j= 0. This notion naturally appears in the theory of classification of contact Lie algebras because any (2p+1)(2p+1)-dimensional contact Lie algebra is isomorphic to a quadratic deformation of the Heisenberg algebra H2p+1\mathcal{H}_{2p+1}.
