Antinilpotent Lie algebras (Q2508745)

A Lie algebra is said to be antinilpotent if any of its nilpotent subalgebras is abelian. The main motivation to consider the class of antinilpotent Lie algebras is the relation (first mentioned in [\textit{E. Dalmer}, J. Math. Phys. 40, No. 8, 4151--4156 (1999; Zbl 0966.17003)]) between antinilpotent Lie algebras and the problem of constructing solutions of generalized Yang-Mills equations on a Riemannian manifold with values in a Lie algebra. In this note, the author first gives a description of all semisimple real antinilpotent Lie algebras. Then he reduces the problem of describing the antinilpotent Lie algebras to the case of semisimple Lie algebras and solvable Lie algebras. Finally, a description of solvable antinilpotent Lie algebras is given.
