Classification of three-dimensional complex \(\omega\)-Lie algebras (Q399389)

Summary: A complex \(\omega\)-Lie algebra is a vector space \(L\) over the complex field, equipped with a skew-symmetric bracket \([\cdot,\cdot]\) and a bilinear form \(\omega\) such that \[ [[x,y],z]+[[y,z],x]+ [[z,x],y]=\omega(x,y)z+\omega(y,z)x+\omega(z,x)y \] for all \(x,y,z\in L\). The notion of \(\omega\)-Lie algebras, as a generalization of Lie algebras, was introduced by \textit{P. Nurowski} [J. Geom. Phys. 57, No. 5, 1325--1329 (2007; Zbl 1113.53018)]. Fundamental results about finite-dimensional \(\omega\)-Lie algebras were developed by \textit{P. Zusmanovich} [J. Geom. Phys. 60, No. 6--8, 1028--1044 (2010; Zbl 1203.17017)]. In [Nurowski, loc. cit.], all three-dimensional non-Lie real \(\omega\)-Lie algebras were classified. The purpose of this note is to provide an approach to classify all three-dimensional non-Lie complex \(\omega\)-Lie algebras. Our method also gives a new proof of the classification in Nurowski's paper [loc. cit.].
