We study symplectic structures on nilpotent Lie algebras. Since the classification of nilpotent Lie algebras in any dimension seems to be a crazy dream, we approach this study in case of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras (in this sub-case also,…
We study left invariant contact forms and left invariant symplectic forms on Lie groups. We give the classification of all symplectic structures on nilpotent Lie algebras up the dimension 6.
We analyze symplectic forms on six dimensional real solvable and non-nilpotent Lie algebras. More precisely, we obtain all those algebras endowed with a symplectic form that decompose as the direct sum of two ideals or are indecomposable…
Multisymplectic geometry is a generalization of symplectic geometry suitable for n-dimensional field theories, in which the nondegenerate 2-form of symplectic geometry is replaced by a nondegenerate (n+1)-form. The case n = 2 is relevant to…
We exhibit a natural Lie algebra structure on the graded space of cyclic coinvariants of a symplectic vector space.
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…
A manifold is multisymplectic, or more specifically n-plectic, if it is equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential form of degree n+1. In our previous work with Baez and Hoffnung, we described how the `higher analogs' of the…
In this note we introduce the notion of $T^*-$extension $T^*{\mathfrak g}$ of a Lie superalgebra ${\mathfrak g}$, i.e. an extension of ${\mathfrak g}$ by its dual space ${\mathfrak g}^*$. The natural pairing induces on $T^*{\mathfrak g}$ an…
We give a method to obtain new 7-dimensional Lie algebras endowed with closed and coclosed G2-structures starting from 6-dimensional Lie algebras with symplectic half- at SU(3)-structures and half- at SU(3)- structures, respectively.…
We study symplectic structures on filiform Lie algebras -- nilpotent Lie algebras of the maximal length of the descending central sequence. In the present article we classify the Lie algebras with the structure relations of the following…
We completely characterize cosymplectic and $\alpha$-cosymplectic Lie algebras in terms of corresponding symplectic Lie algebras and suitable derivations on them. Several examples are given and classification results are obtained in…
In this work we introduce an obstruction for the existence of symplectic structures on nilpotent Lie algebras. Indeed, a necessary condition is presented in terms of the cohomology of the Lie algebra. Using this obstruction we obtain both…
We generalize the notion of kinematical Lie algebra introduced in physics for the classification of the various possible relativity algebras an isotropic spacetime can accommodate. We first give an elementary proof of the fact that such a…
We characterize the structure of a seven-dimensional Lie algebra with non-trivial center endowed with a closed G$_2$-structure. Using this result, we classify all unimodular Lie algebras with non-trivial center admitting closed…
We develop the structure theory of symplectic Lie groups based on the study of their isotropic normal subgroups. The article consists of three main parts. In the first part we show that every symplectic Lie group admits a sequence of…
We prove a structure theorem for Lie n-algebras possessing an invariant inner product. We define the notion of a double extension of a metric Lie n-algebra by another Lie n-algebra and prove that all metric Lie n-algebras are obtained from…
We give some properties of cosymplectic Lie algebras, we show, in particular, that they support a left symmetric product. We also give some constructions of cosymplectic Lie algebras, as well as a classification in three and…
The connections between Euler's equations on central extensions of Lie algebras and Euler's equations on the original, extended algebras are described. A special infinite sequence of central extensions of nilpotent Lie algebras constructed…
In this paper, we give an expansion of two notions of double extension and $T^*$-extension for quadratic and odd quadratic Lie superalgebras. Also, we provide a classification of quadratic and odd quadratic Lie superalgebras up to dimension…
Let $\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}(\mathbb {K})$ be the symplectic Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We prove that for any nonzero nilpotent element $X \in \mathfrak{sp}_{2n}(\mathbb {K})$ there exists a nilpotent…
