2.2. Singular quadratic Lie algebras<br />

Remark 2.2.45. For non-zero λ, µ ∈ C, consider the amalgamated product:<br />

g(λ,µ) = g4(λ) × a g4(µ).<br />

Then g(λ,µ) is the double extension of C4 by<br />

⎛<br />

.<br />

Therefore g(λ,µ) is isomorphic to g(1,1) if and only if µ = ±λ (Lemma 2.2.42 and Section<br />

1.3). So, though g4(λ) and g4(µ) are i-isomorphic to g4, the amalgamated product g(λ,µ) is<br />

not even isomorphic to g(1,1) = g4 × a g4 if µ = ±λ. This illustrates that amalgamated products<br />

may have a rather bad behavior with respect to isomorphisms.<br />

Definition 2.2.46. A double extension is called an invertible quadratic Lie algebra if the corresponding<br />

skew-symmetric map is invertible.<br />

Remark 2.2.47.<br />

• By Remark 2.2.32, the property of being an invertible quadratic Lie algebra does not<br />

depend on the chosen decomposition.<br />

• By Appendix A, the dimension of an invertible quadratic Lie algebra is even.<br />

• By Lemma 2.2.42, two invertible quadratic Lie algebras are isomorphic if and only if they<br />

are i-isomorphic.<br />

For p ≥ 1 and λ ∈ C, let Jp(λ) = diag p (λ,...,λ) + Jp and<br />

C J<br />

<br />

Jp(λ) 0<br />

2p(λ) =<br />

0 −t <br />

Jp(λ)<br />

in a canonical basis of quadratic vector space C 2p . Then C J<br />

2p(λ) ∈ o(2p).<br />

Definition 2.2.48. For λ ∈ C, let j2p(λ) be the double extension of C 2p by C J<br />

2p(λ). We say that<br />

j2p(λ) is a Jordan-type quadratic Lie algebra.<br />

When λ = 0 and p ≥ 2, we recover the nilpotent Jordan-type Lie algebras j2p from nilpotent<br />

case.<br />

When λ = 0, j2p(λ) is an invertible singular quadratic Lie algebra and<br />

j2p(−λ) j2p(λ).<br />

Proposition 2.2.49. Let g be a solvable singular quadratic Lie algebra. Then g is an invertible<br />

quadratic Lie algebra if and only if g is an amalgamated product of Lie algebras all iisomorphic<br />

to Jordan-type Lie algebras j2p(λ), with λ = 0.<br />
