Fixpunktmengen von halbeinfachen Automorphismen in halbeinfachen Lie-Algebren
1976
Let g be a semisimple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. The set of fixed points of a semisimple inner automorphism of g is a regular reductive subalgebra of maximal rank [1], so it is defined by a subsystem of the root system Φ of g relative to a suitable Cartan subalgebra. The main theorem of the article characterizes the corresponding subsystems of Φ. The second part of the article shows how to compute the fixed point algebras of semisimple outer automorphisms of g. A complete list of all fixed point algebras is then easily obtainable. The results are applied to bounded symmetric domains. References
Nilpotent Lie algebras with 2-dimensional commutator ideals
2011
Abstract We classify all (finitely dimensional) nilpotent Lie k -algebras h with 2-dimensional commutator ideals h ′ , extending a known result to the case where h ′ is non-central and k is an arbitrary field. It turns out that, while the structure of h depends on the field k if h ′ is central, it is independent of k if h ′ is non-central and is uniquely determined by the dimension of h . In the case where k is algebraically or real closed, we also list all nilpotent Lie k -algebras h with 2-dimensional central commutator ideals h ′ and dim k h ⩽ 11 .
The Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields and the Jacobian conjecture
1998
The Jacobian conjecture for polynomial maps ϕ:Kn→Kn is shown to be equivalent to a certain Lie algebra theoretic property of the Lie algebra\(\mathbb{D}\) of formal vector fields inn variables. To be precise, let\(\mathbb{D}_0 \) be the unique subalgebra of codimensionn (consisting of the singular vector fields),H a Cartan subalgebra of\(\mathbb{D}_0 \),Hλ the root spaces corresponding to linear forms λ onH and\(A = \oplus _{\lambda \in {\rm H}^ * } H_\lambda \). Then every polynomial map ϕ:Kn→Kn with invertible Jacobian matrix is an automorphism if and only if every automorphism Φ of\(\mathbb{D}\) with Φ(A)\( \subseteq A\) satisfies Φ(A)=A.
Star-products and phase space realizations of quantum groups
1992
It is shown for a family of *-products (i.e. different ordering rules) that, under a strong invariance condition, the functions of the quadratic preferred observables (which generate the Cartan subalgebra in phase space realization of Lie algebras) take only the linear or exponential form. An exception occurs for the case of a symmetric ordering *-product where trigonometric functions and two special polynomials can also be included. As an example, the ‘quantized algebra’ of the oscillator Lie algebra is argued.
