The present paper contains a systematic study of the structure of metric Lie algebras, i.e., finite-dimensional real Lie algebras equipped with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form. We show that any metric Lie algebra without…

A quadratic Lie algebra is a Lie algebra endowed with a symmetric, invariant and non degenerate bilinear form; such a bilinear form is called an invariant metric. The aim of this work is to describe the general structure of those central…

Every metric symplectic Lie algebra has the structure of a quadratic extension. We give a standard model and describe the equivalence classes on the level of corresponding quadratic cohomology sets. Finally, we give a scheme to classify the…

In the note some construction of Lie algebras is introduced. It is proved that the construction has the same property as a well known wreath product of groups [1]: Any extension of groups can be embedded into their wreath product [2].

We show that every Born Lie algebra can be obtained by the bicross product construction starting from two pseudo-Riemannian Lie algebras. We then obtain a classification of all Lie algebras up to dimension four and all six-dimensional…

We consider some special type extensions of an arbitrary Lie algebra, which we call universal extensions. We show that these extensions are in one-to-one correspondence with finite dimensional associative commutative algebras. We also…

In this work we consider all metric Lie algebras, having a nondegenerate symmetric invariant bilinear form, over \C and \R up to dimension 5 and all metric Lie algebras over \C in dimension 6. We introduce cyclic and reduced cyclic…

The symplectic structures on $3$-Lie algebras and metric symplectic $3$-Lie algebras are studied. For arbitrary $3$-Lie algebra $L$, infinite many metric symplectic $3$-Lie algebras are constructed. It is proved that a metric $3$-Lie…

A Lie (super)algebra with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form will be called a NIS-Lie (super)algebra. The double extension of a NIS-Lie (super)algebra is the result of simultaneously adding to it a central element and an…

We proved in previous work that all real nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension up to $10$ carrying an ad-invariant metric are nice. In this paper we show by constructing explicit examples that nonnice irreducible nilpotent Lie algebras…

This paper studies how many orthogonal bi-invariant complex structures exist on a metric Lie algebra over the real numbers. Recently, it was shown that irreducible Lie algebras which are additionally $2$-step nilpotent admit at most one…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate $(n+1)$-Lie algebras induced by $n$-Lie algebras and trace maps. We highlight a comparison of their structure properties (solvability, nilpotency) and the cohomology groups as well as central…

We introduce the notion of a generalized metric n-Leibniz algebra and show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between generalized metric n-Leibniz algebras and faithful generalized orthogonal representations of metric Lie algebras…

We study Lagrangian and orthogonal splittings\textbf{\ }of quadratic vector spaces establishing an equivalence with complex product structures. Then we show that a Manin triple equipped with generalized metric $\mathcal{G}+% \mathcal{B}$…

We recast physical properties of the Bagger-Lambert theory, such as shift-symmetry and decoupling of ghosts, the absence of scale and parity invariance, in Lie 3-algebraic terms, thus motivating the study of metric Lie 3-algebras and their…

The $n$-Lie bialgebras are studied. In Section 2, the $n$-Lie coalgebra with rank $r$ is defined, and the structure of it is discussed. In Section 3, the $n$-Lie bialgebra is introduced. A triple $(L, \mu, \Delta)$ is an $n$-Lie bialgebra…

The method of double extension, introduced by A.~Medina and Ph.~Revoy, is a procedure which decomposes a Lie algebra with an invariant symmetric form into elementary pieces. Such decompositions were developed for other algebras, for…

We characterise Lie groups with bi-invariant bargmannian, galilean or carrollian structures. Localising at the identity, we show that Lie algebras with ad-invariant bargmannian, carrollian or galilean structures are actually determined by…

We study quadratic Lie algebras over a field K of null characteristic which admit, at the same time, a symplectic structure. We see that if K is algebraically closed every such Lie algebra may be constructed as the T*-extension of a…

We propose the method for obtaining invariants of arbitrary representations of Lie groups that reduces this problem to known problems of linear algebra. The basis of this method is the idea of a special extension of the representation…
