On some classes of bases in finite-dimensional Lie algebras (Q6063073)

The author considers Lie algebras having bases of a special form: nice and beautiful bases. For nice bases, it is proved that, in a chosen nilpotent Lie algebra, their number (up to equivalence) is finite. For some Lie algebras of low dimension, it is shown that, when passing from a complex Lie algebra to its realification, the property to have a beautiful basis is lost. The concepts of nice and beautiful bases are applicable to any Lie algebras (as well other general cases) rather than to nilpotent ones only. A basis of this kind can be regarded as a very special case of a more general concept known as multiplicative basis.
