On moduli spaces of 3d Lie algebras (Q1018544)

A non-commutative algebraic geometry where affine schemes are modeled on associative algebras was introduced in [\textit{O. Laudal}, Rev. Mat. Iberoam. 19, No. 2, 509--580 (2003; Zbl 1056.14001), see also Homology Homotopy Appl. 4, No. 2(2), 357--396 (2002; Zbl 1013.16018)]. One of the motivations for this theory is the study of the orbit space of the action of an algebraic group on a variety; indeed, this orbit space is not an algebraic variety when there are non-closed orbits, and the approach in loc. cit. proposes an alternative structure for it. In the present paper, the classification of complex Lie algebras of dimension 3 is examined in the context of this non-commutative algebraic geometry. Here, as usual, the classification is regarded as an orbit space via the structure coefficients. Precisely, this orbit space is described as a non-commutative affine spectrum.
