Minimal faithful representation of the Heisenberg Lie algebra with abelian factor

Abstract: For a finite dimensional Lie algebra

g

over a field

k

of characteristic zero, the

m u

-function (respectively

m u_{n i l}

-function) is defined to be the minimal dimension of

V

such that

g

admits a faithful representation (respectively a faithful nilrepresentation) on

V

. Let

h_{m}

be the Heisenberg Lie algebra of dimension

2 m + 1

and let

m a t h f r a k a_{n}

be the abelian Lie algebra of dimension

n

. The aim of this paper is to compute

m u (h_{m} o p l u s m a t h f r a k a_{n})

and

m u_{n i l} (h_{m} o p l u s m a t h f r a k a_{n})

for all

m, n i n m a t h b b N

.
