Structure of n-Lie Algebras with Involutive Derivations

We study the structure of n-Lie algebras with involutive derivations for n≥2. We obtain that a 3-Lie algebra A is a two-dimensional extension of Lie algebras if and only if there is an involutive derivation D on A=A1 ∔ A-1 such that dim A1=2 or dim A-1=2, where A1 and A-1 are subspaces of A with eig...

Zusammenfassung:We study the structure of n-Lie algebras with involutive derivations for n≥2. We obtain that a 3-Lie algebra A is a two-dimensional extension of Lie algebras if and only if there is an involutive derivation D on A=A1 ∔ A-1 such that dim A1=2 or dim A-1=2, where A1 and A-1 are subspaces of A with eigenvalues 1 and -1, respectively. We show that there does not exist involutive derivations on nonabelian n-Lie algebras with n=2s for s≥1. We also prove that if A is a (2s+2)-dimensional (2s+1)-Lie algebra with dim A1=r, then there are involutive derivations on A if and only if r is even, or r satisfies 1≤r≤s+2. We discuss also the existence of involutive derivations on (2s+3)-dimensional (2s+1)-Lie algebras.
