A 4 3 -grading on a 56 -dimensional simple structurable algebra and related fine gradings on the simple Lie algebras of type E

Diego Aranda-Orna, Alberto Elduque, Mikhail Kochetov (2014)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We describe two constructions of a certain 4 3 -grading on the so-called Brown algebra (a simple structurable algebra of dimension 56 and skew-dimension 1 ) over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2 . The Weyl group of this grading is computed. We also show how this grading gives rise to several interesting fine gradings on exceptional simple Lie algebras of types E 6 , E 7 and E 8 .

An extension of Rais' theorem and seaweed subalgebras of simple Lie algebras

Dmitri I. Panyushev (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove an extension of Rais' theorem on the coadjoint representation of certain graded Lie algebras. As an application, we prove that, for the coadjoint representation of any seaweed subalgebra in a general linear or symplectic Lie algebra, there is a generic stabiliser and the field of invariants is rational. It is also shown that if the highest root of a simple Lie algerba is not fundamental, then there is a parabolic subalgebra whose coadjoint representation do not...
