<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper investigates a class of unified stochastic linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) social optima problems involving a large number of weakly-coupled interactive agents under a generalized setting. For each individual agent, the control and state process enters both diffusion and drift terms in its linear dynamics, and the control weight might be <i>indefinite</i> in cost functional. This setup is innovative and has great theoretical and realistic significance as its applications in mathematical finance (e.g., portfolio selection in mean-variation model). Using some <i>fully-coupled</i> variational analysis under the person-by-person optimality principle, and the mean-field approximation method, the decentralized social control is derived by a class of new type consistency condition (CC) system for typical representative agent. Such CC system is some mean-field forward-backward stochastic differential equation (MF-FBSDE) combined with <i>embedding representation</i>. The well-posedness of such forward-backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE) system is carefully examined. The related social asymptotic optimality is related to the convergence of the average of a series of weakly-coupled backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE). They are verified through some Lyapunov equations.</p>
