Lie Structures and Chain Ideal Lattices

Abstract

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to emphasise that the class of Lie algebras with chain lattices of ideals are elementary blocks in the embedding or decomposition of Lie algebras with finite lattice of ideals. Secondly, to show that the number of Lie algebras of this class is large and they support other types of Lie structures. Beginning with general examples and algebraic decompositions, we focus on computational algorithms to build Lie algebras in which the lattice of ideals is a chain. The chain condition forces gradings on the nilradicals of this class of algebras. Our algorithms yield to several positive naturally graded parametric families of Lie algebras. Further generalizations and other kind of structures will also be discussed.
