Let L be a solvable Lie algebra and A be an abelian ideal of L. For a ∊ A, let da be the (right) inner derivation of L generated by a and let exp da = 1 + da. Since A is abelian, exp da is an automorphism and exp da exp db = exp da+b for all a, b ∊ A. Let I(L, A) be the subgroup of the automorphism group of L generated by exp da for all a ∊ A.

Abstract We prove that the automorphism group of a compact 6-manifold M endowed with a symplectic half-flat {\mathrm{SU}(3)} -structure has Abelian Lie algebra with dimension bounded by {\min\{5,b_{1}(M)\}} . Moreover, we study the properties of the automorphism group action and we discuss relevant examples. In particular, we provide new complete examples on {T\mathbb{S}^{3}} which are invariant under a cohomogeneity one action of {\mathrm{SO}(4)} .

We study a relative variant of Serre’s notion of $G$ -complete reducibility for a reductive algebraic group $G$ . We let $K$ be a reductive subgroup of $G$ , and consider subgroups of $G$ that normalize the identity component $K^{\circ }$ . We show that such a subgroup is relatively $G$ -completely reducible with respect to $K$ if and only if its image in the automorphism group of $K^{\circ }$ is completely reducible. This allows us to generalize a number of fundamental results from the absolute to the relative setting. We also derive analogous results for Lie subalgebras of the Lie algebra of $G$ , as well as ‘rational’ versions over nonalgebraically closed fields.

In an earlier paper, we defined a degree stable Lie algebra, and determined the Lie algebra automorphism group AutLie(S+(2)) of the Lie algebra S+(2). In this paper, we determine the Lie algebra automorphism group AutLie(S(1,0,2)) of the Lie algebra S(1,0,2).

Let L be a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra, Lℤ be the ℤ-span of a Chevalley basis of L and LR = R⊗ℤLℤ be a Chevalley algebra of type L over a commutative ring R. Let [Formula: see text] be the nilpotent subalgebra of LR spanned by the root vectors associated with positive roots. The aim of this paper is to determine the automorphism group of [Formula: see text].

We study automorphisms and derivations of a Lie algebra L of finite dimension satisfying certain centrality conditions. As a consequence, we obtain that every nilpotent normal subgroup of the automorphism group of L is unipotent for a very large class of Lie algebras. This result extends one of Leger and Luks. We show that the automorphism group of a nilpotent Lie algebra can have trivial center and have yet a unipotent identity component.

In this paper, a simple Lie algebra, referred to as the completed Witt Lie algebra, is introduced. Its derivation algebra and automorphism group are completely described. As a by-product, it is obtained that the first cohomology group of this Lie algebra with coefficients in its adjoint module is trivial. Furthermore, we completely determine the conjugate classes of this Lie algebra under its automorphism group, and also obtain that this Lie algebra does not contain any nonzero ad -locally finite element.

In this paper, we determine the derivation algebra and the automorphism group of the original deformative Schrödinger-Virasoro algebra, which is the semi-direct product Lie algebra of the Witt algebra and its tensor density module Ig(a,b).

The symmetry algebra of a QFT in the presence of an external EM background (named "residual symmetry") is investigated within a Lie-algebraic, model-independent scheme. Some results previously encountered in the literature are extended here. In particular we compute the symmetry algebra for a constant EM background in D = 3 and D = 4 dimensions. In D = 3 dimensions the residual symmetry algebra, for generic values of the constant EM background, is isomorphic to [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text] the centrally extended two-dimensional Poincaré algebra. In D = 4 dimension the generic residual symmetry algebra is given by a seven-dimensional solvable Lie algebra which is explicitly computed. Residual symmetry algebras are also computed for specific non-constant EM backgrounds and in the supersymmetric case for a constant EM background. The supersymmetry generators are given by the "square roots" of the deformed translations.
