Abstract: |
Metric $n$-Lie algebras have wide applications in mathematics and
mathematical physics. In this paper, the authors introduce two
methods to construct metric $(n+1)$-Lie algebras from metric $n$-Lie
algebras for $n\geq 2$. For a given $m$-dimensional metric $n$-Lie
algebra $(\frak g, [ , \cdots, ], B_g)$, via one and two dimensional
extensions $\frak L=\frak g\dot+\mathbb Fc$ and $\frak g_0$ $=\frak
g\dot+ $ $\mathbb F x^{-1}\dot+ \mathbb F x^0$ of the vector space
$\frak g$ and a certain linear function $f$ on $\frak g$, we
construct $(m+1)$- and $(m+2)$-dimensional $(n+1)$-Lie algebras
$(\frak L, [ , \cdots, ]_{cf})$ and $(\frak g_0, [ , \cdots, ]_1)$,
respectively. Furthermore, if the center $Z(\frak g)$ is
non-isotropic, then we obtain metric $(n+1)$-Lie algebras $(\frak
L, [ , \cdots, ]_{cf}, B)$ and $(\frak g_0, [ , \cdots, ]_1, B)$
which satisfy $B|_{\frak g\times \frak g}=B_g$. Following this
approach the extensions of all $(n+2)$-dimensional metric $n$-Lie
algebras are discussed. |
