Abstract: A pseudo-Euclidean non-associative algebra is a real algebra of finite dimension that has a metric, i.e., a bilinear, symmetric, and non-degenerate form langle;angle. The metric is considered mathrmL-invariant (resp. mathrmR-invariant) if all left multiplications (resp. right multiplications) are skew-symmetric. The metric is called associative if for all u,v,winmathfrakg. These three notions coincide when mathfrakg is a Lie algebra and in this case mathfrakg endowed with the metric is known as a quadratic Lie algebra. This paper provides a complete description of mathrmL-invariant, mathrmR-invariant, or associative pseudo-Euclidean metrics on left Leibniz algebras. It shows that a left Leibniz algebra with an associative metric is also right Leibniz and can be obtained easily from its underlying Lie algebra, which is a quadratic Lie algebra. Additionally, it shows that at the core of a left Leibniz algebra endowed with a mathrmL-invariant or mathrmR-invariant metric, there are two Lie algebras with one quadratic and the left Leibniz algebra can be built from these Lie algebras. We derive many important results from these complete description. Finally, the paper provides a list of left Leibniz algebras with an associative metric up to dimension 6, as well as a list of left Leibniz algebras with an mathrmL-invariant metric, up to dimension 4, and mathrmR-invariant metric up to dimension 5.
