Abstract

Study of the normalizer of the MAD-group corresponding to a finegrading offers the most important tool for describing symmetries in the system of non-linear equations connected with contraction of a Lie algebra. One fine grading that is always present in any Lie algebra sl(n,C)sl(n,\mathbb{C}) is the Pauli grading. The MAD-group corresponding to it is generated by generalized Pauli matrices. For such MAD-group, we already know its normalizer; its quotient group is isomorphic to the Lie group Sl(2,Zn)×vZ2Sl(2,\mathbb{Z}_n)\times v\mathbb{Z}_2. In this paper, we deal with a more complicated situation, namely that the fine grading of sl(p2,C)sl(p^2, \mathbb{C}) is given by a tensor product of the Pauli matrices of the same order pp, pp being a prime. We describe the normalizer of the corresponding MAD-group and we show that its quotient group is isomorphic to Sp(4,Zp)×Z2Sp(4,\mathbb{Z}_p)\times\mathbb{Z}_2.
