Abstract: This article can be viewed as a continuation of the articles arXiv:0912.3486 and arXiv:1012.3714 where the decomposable Lie algebras admitting half-flat SU(3)-structures are classified. The new main result is the classification of the indecomposable six-dimensional Lie algebras with five-dimensional nilradical which admit a half-flat SU(3)-structure. As an important step of the proof, a considerable refinement of the classification of six-dimensional Lie algebras with five-dimensional non-Abelian nilradical is established. Additionally, it is proved that all non-solvable six-dimensional Lie algebras admit half-flat SU(3)-structures.


In this paper, the authors analyze half-flat \(\mathrm{SU}(3)\)-structures on six dimensional Lie algebras the nilradical of which has dimension five. It is shown that such structures are characterised by \(2\)- and \(3\)-forms on the algebra subjected to certain algebraic conditions. Analyzing the various types of nilradicals, conditions fort he existence of half-flat structures are obtained, resulting in a complete list of Lie algebras of the type considered that admit them. This paper is a natural continuation of previous work by the authors [Transform. Groups 17, No. 1, 123--141 (2012; Zbl 1246.53072)].
