We study nilpotent Lie algebras endowed with a complex structure and a quadratic structure which is pseudo-Hermitian for the given complex structure. We propose several methods to construct such Lie algebras and describe a method of double…
In math.DG/0312243 we developed a general classification scheme for metric Lie algebras, i.e. for finite-dimensional Lie algebras equipped with a non-degenerate invariant inner product. Here we determine all nilpotent Lie algebras l with…
We obtain a recurrent and monotone method for constructing and classifying nilpotent Lie algebras by means of successive central extensions. It consists in calculating the second cohomology of an extendable nilpotent Lie algebra with the…
We investigate a certain class of solvable metric Lie algebras. For this purpose a theory of twofold extensions associated to an orthogonal representation of an abelian Lie algebra is developed. Among other things, we obtain a…
A Lie superalgebra endowed with a supersymmetric, even, non-degenerate, invariant bilinear form is called a quadratic Lie superalgebra. In this paper we give inductive descriptions of quadratic Lie superalgebras in terms of generalized…
We construct HNN-extensions of Lie superalgebras and prove that every Lie superalgebra embeds into any of its HNN-extensions. Then as an application we show that any Lie superalgebra with at most countable dimension embeds into a…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a Lie algebra, $E$ a vector space containing $\mathfrak{g}$ as a subspace. The paper is devoted to the \emph{extending structures problem} which asks for the classification of all Lie algebra structures on $E$ such…
Hom-Lie algebras defined on central extensions of a given quadratic Lie algebra that in turn admit an invariant metric, are studied. It is shown how some of these algebras are naturally equipped with other symmetric, bilinear forms that…
We classify Lie n-algebras possessing an invariant lorentzian inner product.
In this paper, we give a purely cohomological interpretation of the extension problem for (super) Lie algebras; that is the problem of extending a Lie algebra by another Lie algebra. We then give a similar interpretation of infinitesimal…
A Lie algebra is said to be metric if it admits a symmetric invariant and nondegenerate bilinear form. The harmonic oscillator algebra, which arises in the quantum mechanical description of a harmonic oscillator, is the smallest solvable…
A study is made of real Lie algebras admitting compatible complex and product structures, including numerous 4-dimensional examples. If g is a Lie algebra with such a structure then its complexification has a hypercomplex structure. It is…
We summarise the classification of kinematical Lie algebras in arbitrary dimension and indicate which of the kinematical Lie algebras admit an invariant inner product.
This is a survey work on Lie algebras with ad-invariant metrics. We summarize main features, notions and constructions, in the aim of bringing into consideration the main research on the topic. We also give some list of examples in low…
This paper presents a systematic study of the structure of non-solvable cyclic metric Lie algebras. A cyclic metric is a symmetric bilinear form satisfying a cyclic cocycle condition, which arises naturally in the contexts of…
Over real numbers, Backhouse classified all four-dimensional Lie superalgebras. From this list, we will investigate those Lie superalgebras that can be obtained as Lagrangian extensions. Moreover, we investigate left-symmetric structures on…
In this work we state a version of the double extension for homogeneous quadratic Lie super algebras that includes even and odd cases. We prove that any indecomposable, non-simple and homogeneous quadratic Lie super algebra is obtained by…
We consider the Casimir Invariants related to some a special kind of Lie-algebra extensions, called universal extensions. We show that these invariants can be studied using the equivalence between the universal extensions and the…
We generalize to the case of Lie superalgebras the classical symplectic double extension of symplectic Lie algebras introduced in [2]. We use this concept to give an inductive description of nilpotent homogeneous-symplectic Lie…
In this paper, we focus on $(n+3)$-dimensional metric $n$-Lie algebras. To begin with, we give some properties on $(n+3)$-dimensional $n$-Lie algebras. Then based on the properties, we obtain the classification of $(n+3)$-dimensional metric…
