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…

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…

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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 $C(n,k)$…

The partition algebra is an associative algebra with a basis of set-partition diagrams and multiplication given by diagram concatenation. It contains as subalgebras a large class of diagram algebras including the Brauer, planar partition,…

We extend the set of known infinite families of Frobenius seaweed Lie subalgebras of $\mathfrak{sl}_{n}$ to include a family which is the first non-trivial general family containing algebras whose associated meanders have an arbitrarily…

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…

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…
