We show that every unimodular Lie algebra, of dimension at most 4, equipped with an inner product, possesses an orthonormal basis comprised of geodesic elements. On the other hand, we give an example of a solvable unimodular Lie algebra of…

We show that semi-simple lie algebras can be characterized by their maximal nilpotent subalgebra, which is the same as the nilpotent radical of a Borel subalgebra.

We describe a class (called regular) of invariant generalized complex structures on a real semisimple Lie group G. The problem reduces to the description of admissible pairs (\gk, \omega), where \gk is an appropriate regular subalgebra of…
