Abstract: In this paper, we study Lorentzian left invariant Einstein metrics on nilpotent Lie groups. We show that if the center of such Lie groups is degenerate then they are Ricci-flat and their Lie algebras can be obtained by the double extension process from an abelian Euclidean Lie algebra. We show that all nilpotent Lie groups up to dimension $5$ endowed with a Lorentzian Einstein left invariant metric have degenerate center and we use this fact to give a complete classification of these metrics. We show that if $mathfrakg$ is the Lie algebra of a nilpotent Lie group endowed with a Lorentzian left invariant Einstein metric with non zero scalar curvature then the center $Z(mathfrakg)$ of $mathfrakg$ is nondegenerate Euclidean, the derived ideal $[mathfrakg,mathfrakg]$ is nondegenerate Lorentzian and $Z(mathfrakg)subset[mathfrakg,mathfrakg]$. We give the first examples of Ricci-flat Lorentzian nilpotent Lie algebra with nondegenerate center.
