Lie algebras, eigenvalue problems and left-symmetric algebras (Q7012271)

Let \(\mathbb{R}\) be the field of real numbers and \(V\) be a finite-dimensional vector space over \(\mathbb{R}\). For a given linear operator \(F\in\mathrm{End}(V)\) and a fixed eigenvector \(v\) of \(F\). Define a binary operation \([\cdot,\cdot]\) on the dual space \(V^\ast\) by \N\[ \N[\alpha, \beta]_{(F,v)}:=\beta(v)F^\ast(\alpha)-\alpha(v)F^\ast(\beta),\quad \alpha, \beta\in V^\ast. \N\] \NIt is known that \((V^\ast, [\cdot,\cdot]_{(F,v)})\) is a Lie algebra. This paper shows that there is a natural left-symmetric algebra \((V^\ast,\bullet_{(F,v)})\) defined by \N\[ \N\alpha \bullet_{(F,v)} \beta:=--\alpha(v)F^\ast(\beta),\;\;\alpha, \beta\in V^\ast, \N\] \Nwhich serves as the compatible left-symmetric algebra associated with \((V^\ast, [\cdot,\cdot]_{(F,v)})\).\N\NFuthermore, this paper extends the investigation to constructions involving two eigenvalue problems. Let \(F_1\), \(F_2\in\mathrm {End}(V)\), and \(v_1\), \(v_2\) be eigenvectors of \(F_1\) and \(F_2\) respectively. Define two binary operations \([\cdot,\cdot]_{(F_1,v_1),(F_2,v_2)}\) and \(\bullet_{(F_1,v_1),(F_2,v_2)}\) on \(V^\ast\) as follows: \N\begin{gather*} \N[\alpha,\beta]_{(F_1,v_1),(F_2,v_2)}:=[\alpha, \beta]_{(F_1,v_1)}+[\alpha, \beta]_{(F_2,v_2)},\\\N\alpha \bullet_{(F_1,v_1),(F_2,v_2)} \beta:=\alpha \bullet_{(F_1,v_1)} \beta+\alpha \bullet_{(F_2,v_2)} \beta,\;\;\alpha, \beta\in V^\ast. \N\end{gather*}\NThis paper studies the conditions under which \((V^\ast, [\cdot,\cdot]_{(F_1,v_1),(F_2,v_2)})\) is a Lie algebra and \((V^\ast, \bullet_{(F_1,v_1),(F_2,v_2)})\) is a left-symmetric algebra, and provide some examples.
