Invariants of contact Lie algebras Article uri icon

abstract

  • The aim of this work is to prove that any contact Lie algebra has a semi-invariant. We explicitly compute it and give conditions for it to be an invariant of the contact Lie algebra. As a consequence we can prove that any perfect contact Lie algebra has trivial center. Moreover, we prove that a perfect Lie algebra is a contact Lie algebra if, and only if, it has only one invariant. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
