Abstract The metric approach to studying 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras by making use of non-degenerate scalar products is realised. We show that a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra is isomorphic to its standard pseudo-metric form, that is a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra endowed with some standard non-degenerate scalar product compatible with the Lie bracket. This choice of the standard pseudo-metric form allows us to study the isomorphism properties. If the elements of the centre of the standard pseudo-metric form constitute a Lie triple system of the pseudo-orthogonal Lie algebra, then the original 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra admits integer structure constants. Among particular applications we prove that pseudo H-type algebras have bases with rational structure constants, which implies that the corresponding pseudo H-type groups admit lattices.

The simplest W-type algebra is considered, which includes spin-3/2 and 1 currents, with the aim of finding all its realizations in the free fermion theory through the currents of the type γi1…i2sψi1 … ψi2s. The solution of this problem appears to be related to some problem in the theory of Lie algebras, and we give a classification of the solutions for γ tensors, which turn out to be connected with structure constants of Lie algebras. This is in parallel with previously known similar bosonic construction, connected with symmetric counterpart of the Lie algebras — the Jordan algebras.

In this paper, we study nilpotent Lie algebras that admit nilsoliton metric with simple pre-Einstein derivation. Given a Lie algebra η , we would like to compute as much of its structure as possible. The structural components we consider in this study are the structure constants, the index, and the rank of the nilsoliton derivations. For this purpose, we prove necessary or sufficient conditions for an algebra to admit such metrics. Particularly, we prove theorems for the computation of the Jacobi identity for a given algebra so that we can solve the system of the equation(s) and find the structure constants of the nilsoliton.

The aim of this paper is to give the geometrical/physical interpretation of the conserved quantities corresponding to each Noether symmetry of the geodetic Lagrangian of plane symmetric space-times. For this purpose, we present a complete list of plane symmetric nonstatic space-times along with the generators of all Noether symmetries of the geodetic Lagrangian. Additionally, the structure constants of the associated Lie algebras, the Riemann curvature tensors, and the energy-momentum tensors are obtained for each case. It is worth mentioning that the list contains all classes of solutions that have been obtained earlier during the classification of plane symmetric space-times by isometries and homotheties.

In this paper, we present an algorithm to give the isomorphism criterion for a subclass of complex filiform Leibniz algebras arising from naturally graded filiform Lie algebras. This subclass appeared as a Leibniz central extension of a linear deformation of filiform Lie algebra. We give the table of multiplication choosing appropriate adapted basis, identify the elementary base changes and describe the behavior of structure constants under these base changes, then combining them the isomorphism criterion is given. The final result of calculations for one particular case also is provided.
