Contractions of Filippov algebras

Abstract: We introduce in this paper the contractions

m a t h f r a k G_{c}

of

n

-Lie (or Filippov) algebras

m a t h f r a k G

and show that they have a semidirect structure as their

n = 2

Lie algebra counterparts. As an example, we compute the non-trivial contractions of the simple

A_{n + 1}

Filippov algebras. By using the .In"on"u-Wigner and the generalized Weimar-Woods contractions of ordinary Lie algebras, we compare (in the

m a t h f r a k G = A_{n + 1}

simple case) the Lie algebras Lie

, m a t h f r a k G_{c}

(the Lie algebra of inner endomorphisms of

m a t h f r a k G_{c}

) with certain contractions

(m a t h r m L i e, m a t h f r a k G)_{I W}

and

(m a t h r m L i e, m a t h f r a k G)_{W - W}

of the Lie algebra Lie

, m a t h f r a k G

associated with

m a t h f r a k G

.
