Virtual copies of semisimple Lie algebras in enveloping algebras of semidirect products and Casimir operators

R. Campoamor-Stursberg, S. G. Low

英文摘要:

Given a semidirect product $\frak{g}=\frak{s}\uplus\frak{r}$ of semisimple Lie algebras $\frak{s}$ and solvable algebras $\frak{r}$, we construct polynomial operators in the enveloping algebra $\mathcal{U}(\frak{g})$ of $\frak{g}$ that commute with $\frak{r}$ and transform like the generators of $\frak{s}$, up to a functional factor that turns out to be a Casimir operator of $\frak{r}$. Such operators are said to generate a virtual copy of $\frak{s}$ in $\mathcal{U}(\frak{g})$, and allow to compute the Casimir operators of $\frak{g}$ in closed form, using the classical formulae for the invariants of $\frak{s}$. The behavior of virtual copies with respect to contractions of Lie algebras is analyzed. Applications to the class of Hamilton algebras and their inhomogeneous extensions are given.
