Invariant lattices in Lie algebras of type \(A_{p-1}\) (Q1080506): Difference between revisions

Let a Lie algebra L be decomposed into an orthogonal direct sum of \(H_ i\), G the group of all automorphisms of L which preserve the decomposition (permute \(H_ i)\), \(\Lambda_ i\) the lattice in \(H_ i\) dual to the root system, \(\Lambda\) the orthogonal sum of \(\Lambda_ i\). The problem is to classify all G-invariant undivisible sublattices of \(\Lambda\) (\(\Lambda\) ' is undivisible if there is no integer \(n>1\) such that \(\Lambda\) ' is contained in \(n\Lambda)\). This problem is related with the general the theory of lattices and with theory of finite simple groups. The problem had been solved for L of type \(G_ 2\). In the present paper the problem is solved for L of type \(A_{p-1}\) for any prime p.
