The index of a Lie algebra is an important algebraic invariant. In 2000, Vladimir Dergachev and Alexandre Kirillov defined seaweed subalgebras of $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ (or $\mathfrak{sl}_n$) and provided a formula for the index of a seaweed…

A standard seaweed subalgebra of $A_{n-1}=\mathfrak{sl}(n)$ may be parametrized by a pair of compositions of the positive integer $n$. For all $n$ and certain $k(n)$, we provide closed-form formulas and the generating functions for $C(n,k)$…

We generalize the results in [2] giving a reduction algorithm allowing to compute the index of seaweed subalgebras of classical simple Lie algebras. We thus are able to obtain the index of some interesting families of seaweed subalgebras…

The index of a Lie algebra is an important algebraic invariant, but it is notoriously difficult to compute. However, for the suggestively-named seaweed algebras, the computation of the index can be reduced to a combinatorial formula based…

In 2000, Dergachev and Kirillov introduced subalgebras of "seaweed type" in $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ and computed their index using certain graphs, which we call type-${\sf A}$ meander graphs. Then the subalgebras of seaweed type, or just…

Seaweed subalgebras of $\mathfrak{gl}(n,\mathbb{C})$ and $\mathfrak{sl}(n,\mathbb{C})$ are combinatorially defined matrix Lie algebras whose index admits a closed-form description in terms of an associated graph called a meander. In this…

Seaweed (biparabolic) subalgebras form a large and structurally rich class of subalgebras of simple Lie algebras. We determine their adjoint cohomology. If $\mathfrak{s}$ is an indecomposable seaweed subalgebra of a complex simple Lie…

We introduce in this paper the contractions $\mathfrak{G}_c$ of $n$-Lie (or Filippov) algebras $\mathfrak{G}$ and show that they have a semidirect structure as their $n=2$ Lie algebra counterparts. As an example, we compute the non-trivial…

Seaweed algebras are a class of Lie algebras that are naturally characterized by a pair of compositions, which in turn are represented visually as planar graphs called meanders. These meanders provide a straightforward method for computing…

The main goal of this paper is to prove the following theorem: Let $\frak k$ be an $\frak {sl}_2$-subalgebra of a semisimple Lie algebra $\frak g$, none of whose simple factors is of type $A1$. Then there exists a positive integer $b(\frak…

Analogous to the sl(n) case, we address the computation of the index of seaweed subalgebras of sp(2n) by introducing graphical representations called symplectic meanders. Formulas for the algebra's index may be computed by counting the…

We give an upper bound for the index of certain Lie algebras, called of seaweed type, introduced by V. Dergachev, A. Kirillov and D. Panyushev. We deduce from this a conjecture of D. Panyushev stated in "Inductive formulas for the index of…

A celebrated result of Gromov ensures the existence of a contact structure on any connected, non-compact, odd dimensional Lie group. In general, such structures are not invariant under left translation. The problem of finding which Lie…

Analogous to the types A, B, and C cases, we address the computation of the index of seaweed subalgebras in the type-D case. Formulas for the algebra's index can be computed by counting the connected components of its associated meander. We…

This paper generalizes Weyl realization to a class of Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{g}_0\oplus \mathfrak{g}_1$ satisfying $[\mathfrak{g}_1,\mathfrak{g}_1]=\{0\}$. First, we give a novel proof of the Weyl realization of a Lie…

If $\mathfrak{g}$ is a Frobenius Lie algebra, then the spectrum of $\mathfrak{g}$ is an algebraic invariant equal to the multiset of eigenvalues corresponding to a particular operator acting on $\mathfrak{g}$. In the case of Frobenius…
