On Lie gradings. II (Q1307528)

In order to find fine gradings of \(\mathfrak{gl}(n,\mathbb C)\), the authors study maximal abelian subgroups of diagonizable automorphisms of \(\mathfrak{gl}(n,\mathbb C)\). They define two finite sets and show that every element of these subgroups is conjugate to an element in one of these sets. These sets are explicitly constructed for \(n\leq 6\). The results are then carried over to \({\mathfrak o}(n,\mathbb C)\) for \(n\neq 8\) and to \(\mathfrak{sp}(2n,\mathbb C)\). Part I, see the second author and \textit{H. Zassenhaus}, Linear Algebra Appl. 112, 87-159 (1989; Zbl 0675.17001) and Part III, see the authors, Linear Algebra Appl. 314, No. 1-3, 1--47 (2000; Zbl 1017.17027).
