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…

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 index of a seaweed Lie algebra can be computed from its associated meander graph. We examine this graph in several ways with a goal of determining families of Frobenius (index zero) seaweed algebras. Our analysis gives two new families…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Using the index theory of seaweed algebras, we explore various new integer partition statistics. We find relations to some well-known varieties of integer partitions as well as a surprising periodicity result.

The index of a Lie algebra is an important invariant which arises in several areas, e.g. in the study of coadjoint orbits for a Lie group, in invariant theory and in representation theory. We study the index for several classes of nilpotent…

In 2000, Dergachev and Kirillov introduced subalgebras of "seaweed type" in $\mathfrak{gl}(n)$ and computed their index using certain graphs. In this article, those graphs are called type-A meander graphs. Then the subalgebras of seaweed…

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…

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…

We give some properties on the index of seaweed subalgebras of the complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}(n)$ which allow to obtain formulas for the index of some interesting classes of this family and to give new families of Frobenius Lie…

A ($2k+1$)$-$dimensional contact Lie algebra is one which admits a one-form $\varphi$ such that $\varphi \wedge (d\varphi)^k\ne0$. Such algebras have index one, but this is not generally a sufficient condition. Here we show that index-one…

In 2000, Dergachev and Kirillov introduced subalgebras of "seaweed type" in $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ and computed their index using certain graphs. Then seaweed subalgebras $\mathfrak q\subset\mathfrak g$ were defined by Panyushev for any…

We establish combinatorial formulas for the index of a class of matrix Lie algebras whose matrix forms are encoded by strict partial orderings.

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…

The index of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is defined by ind $\mathfrak{g}=$ $\min_{f\in \mathfrak{g}^*}\dim(\ker (B_f))$, where $f$ is an element of the linear dual $\mathfrak{g}^*$ and $B_f(x,y)=f([x,y])$ is the associated skew-symmetric…

We introduce the method of calculation of index of Lie algebras that are factors of the unitriangular Lie algebra with respect to ideals spanned by subsets of root vectors.
