We present the subalgebra structure of sl(3,O), a particular real form of e6 chosen for its relevance to particle physics and its close relation to generalized Lorentz groups. We use an explicit representation of the Lie group SL(3,O) to…
Revisiting the results by Winternitz [Symmetry in physics, CRM Proc. Lecture Notes 34, American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2004, pp. 215-227], we thoroughly refine his classification of Lie subalgebras of the real order-three…
The process of complexification is used to classify a Lie algebra and identify its Cartan subalgebra. However, this method does not distinguish between real forms of a complex Lie algebra, which can differ in signature. In this paper, we…
We investigate the real Lie algebra of first-order differential operators with polynomial coefficients, which is subject to the following requirements. (1) The Lie algebra should admit a basis of differential operators with homogeneous…
We give a construction of the compact real form of the Lie algebra of type $E_6$, using the finite irreducible subgroup of shape $3^{3+3}:\mathrm{SL}_3(3)$, which is isomorphic to a maximal subgroup of the orthogonal group $\Omega_7(3)$. In…
Two types of higher order Lie $\ell$-ple systems are introduced in this paper. They are defined by brackets with $\ell > 3$ arguments satisfying certain conditions, and generalize the well known Lie triple systems. One of the…
In the present paper we continue the project of systematic construction of invariant differential operators for non-compact semisimple Lie groups. Our starting points is the class of algebras, which we call 'conformal Lie algebras' (CLA),…
We classify the subalgebras of the real forms the complex linear algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_3(\mathbb{C})$, namely the real special linear algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_3(\mathbb{R})$, the special unitary algebra $\mathfrak{su}(3)$, and the…
We give a general method to construct a complete set of linearly independent Casimir operators of a Lie algebra with rank N. For a Casimir operator of degree p, this will be provided by an explicit calculation of its symmetric coefficients…
We construct the well-known decomposition of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{e}_8$ into representations of $\mathfrak{e}_6\oplus\mathfrak{su}(3)$ using explicit matrix representations over pairs of division algebras. The minimal representation…
In the present paper we review the progress of the project of classification and construction of invariant differential operators for non-compact semisimple Lie groups. Our starting points is the class of algebras, which we called earlier…
In this work, we consider Lie algebras L containing a subalgebra isomorphic to sl3 and such that L decomposes as a module for that sl3 subalgebra into copies of the adjoint module, the natural 3-dimensional module and its dual, and the…
In the first part we present the Weyl algebra and our results concerning its finite-dimensional Lie subalgebras. The second part is devoted to a more exotic algebraic structure, the Lie algebra of order 3. We set the basis of a theory of…
The uniformity, for the family of exceptional Lie algebras g, of the decompositions of the powers of their adjoint representations is well-known now for powers up to the fourth. The paper describes an extension of this uniformity for the…
An almost Abelian Lie algebra is a non-Abelian Lie algebra with a codimension 1 Abelian ideal. Most 3-dimensional real Lie algebras are almost Abelian, and they appear in every branch of physics that deals with anisotropic media -…
Every Lie algebra over a field $E$ gives rise to new Lie algebras over any subfield $F \subseteq E$ by restricting the scalar multiplication. This paper studies the structure of these underlying Lie algebra in relation to the structure of…
Four $\ZZ_+$-bigraded complexes with the action of the exceptional infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebra E(3,6) are constructed. We show that all the images and cokernels and all but three kernels of the differentials are irreducible…
We analyze the number N of functionally independent generalized Casimir invariants for non-semisimple Lie algebras \frak{s}\overrightarrow{% oplus}_{R}\frak{r} with Levi factors isomorphic to \frak{so}(3) and \frak{sl}(2,R) in dependence of…
The Lie algebra $sl(3,\C)$ is considered in the basis of generalized Pauli matrices. Corresponding grading is the Pauli grading here. It is one of the four gradings of the algebra which cannot be further refined. The set $\es$ of 48…
We present a nonlinear realization of the 5-graded Lie algebra associated to a Kantor triple system. Any simple Lie algebra can be realized in this way, starting from an arbitrary 5-grading. In particular, we get a unified realization of…
