Diagonal direct limits of simple lie algebras

From MaRDI portal





The paper deals with infinite-dimensional Lie algebras. An algebra \(L\) is called locally simple if any finite subset of \(L\) is contained in a simple finite-dimensional subalgebra of the algebra \(L\). Let \(L\) be a locally simple Lie algebra of countable dimension. \(L\) is called diagonal if there exists an increasing sequence of finite-dimensional simple subalgebras \(L_1\subset L_2\subset \dots\) such that \(L= \bigcup_{i=1}^\infty L_i\) and all embeddings \(L_i\subset L_{i+1}\) are diagonal. The embedding \(L_i\subset L_{i+1}\) is called diagonal if any nontrivial composition factor of the restriction of the standard \(L_{i+1}\)-module to \(L_i\) is either the standard \(L_i\)-module or dual to it. The classification of diagonal locally simple Lie algebras of countable dimension over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is derived.
