Guy Kapon, Lior Hadassy

Short summary

Semi-simple Lie algebras can be uniquely identified by their maximal nilpotent subalgebra, which is equivalent to the nilpotent radical of a Borel subalgebra.

Key points

  • Semi-simple Lie algebras are characterized by their maximal nilpotent subalgebra.
  • This maximal nilpotent subalgebra is identical to the nilpotent radical of a Borel subalgebra.
  • This provides a new structural invariant for Lie algebra classification.

Abstract

We show that semi-simple Lie algebras can be characterized by their maximal nilpotent subalgebra, which is the same as the nilpotent radical of a Borel subalgebra.
