Counting fine gradings on matrix algebras and on classical simple Lie algebras
Abstract
Known classification results allow us to find the number of (equivalence classes of) fine gradings on matrix algebras and on classical simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field (assuming in the Lie case). The computation is easy for matrix algebras and especially for simple Lie algebras of type (the answer is just ), but involves counting orbits of certain finite groups in the case of Series , and . For , we determine the exact number of fine gradings, , on the simple Lie algebras of type with as well as the asymptotic behaviour of the average, , for large . In particular, we prove that there exist positive constants and such that . The analogous average for matrix algebras is proved to be where is an explicit constant depending on .
