Metric Lie n-algebras and double extensions

From MaRDI portal
Publication:6209998




Abstract: We prove a structure theorem for Lie n-algebras possessing an invariant inner product. We define the notion of a double extension of a metric Lie n-algebra by another Lie n-algebra and prove that all metric Lie n-algebras are obtained from the simple and one-dimensional ones by iterating the operations of orthogonal direct sum and double extension.
