Classification of Klein four symmetric pairs of holomorphic type for \(\mathrm{E}_{6(-14)}\) (Q1622903)

Let \(\mathfrak g\) be a noncompact simple Lie algebra. We assume the associated symmetric space is of holomorphic type. This is equivalent to the center of any maximally compactly embedded subalgebra of \(\mathfrak g\) is of dimension one. Let \(\tau\) and \(\sigma\) be two involutive automorphisms of \(\mathfrak g\) such that \(\sigma \tau =\tau \sigma\) and they fix the center of one maximally compactly embedded subalgebra. This is to say, \(\sigma, \tau\) are of holomorphic type. Then, \((\mathfrak g, \mathfrak g^{<\sigma, \tau>})\) is called a Klein four symmetric pair of holomorphic type. The aim of this note is to classify the Klein four symmetric pairs of holomorphic type for \(\mathfrak e_{6 (-14)}\). We recall \(\Aut(\mathfrak e_{6 (-14)})/\mathrm{Int}(\mathfrak e_{6 (-14)})\) is the group spanned by the minus automorphism. The author shows that up to conjugation there are eight Klein for symmetric subgroups (of holomorphic type) for the algebra \(\mathfrak e_{6 (-14)}\). The resulting eight subalgebras \(\mathfrak g^\Gamma\) are: \[ 2 \mathfrak{su}(2,1)\oplus 2 \sqrt{-1}\mathbb R, \ \mathfrak{su}(2,2)\oplus \mathfrak{su}(2)\oplus \sqrt{-1}\mathbb R, \ \mathfrak{su}(3,1)\oplus \mathfrak{su}(1,1)\oplus \sqrt{-1}\mathbb R, \] \[\mathfrak{su}(3,2)\oplus 2 \sqrt{-1}\mathbb R, \ \mathfrak{su}(2,1)\oplus \mathfrak{su}(3)\oplus \sqrt{-1}\mathbb R, \ \mathfrak{su}(4,1) \oplus 2 \sqrt{-1}\mathbb R, \] \[ \mathfrak{so}(6,2)\oplus \sqrt{-1}\mathbb R, \ 2 \mathfrak{su}\oplus \mathfrak{su}(4)\oplus \sqrt{-1}\mathbb R. \] The author writes explicit generators for the eight Klein four subgroups.
