Abstract
Let be a field of any characteristic, a finite-dimensional vector space over , and be the -th symmetric power of the dual space . Given a linear map on and an eigenvector of , we prove that the pair can be used to construct a new Lie algebra structure on . We prove that this Lie algebra structure is solvable, and in particular, it is nilpotent if is a nilpotent map. We also classify the Lie algebras for all possible pairs , when and is two-dimensional.
