Finite dimensional Lie algebra with non-degenerate invariant bilinear forms $\Omega_{ab}$

Firstly, my apology to MO experts that I am in a more science/physics background (a PhD). So please feel free refine/modify/comment my language if I have different math accents than yours. From ...

The existence of a finite dimensional Lie algebra with a given symmetric invariant metric

The question is motivated by a more broad perspective in another MO post and here, but here we would like to understand a specific case (our question potentially connects to / is motivated b Quantum ...

About the map $S(\mathfrak{g}^ * )^G\rightarrow S(\mathfrak{h}^ * )^H$ for $H < G$

Let $G$ be a compact connected semisimple Lie group, $\mathfrak{g}$ be its complexified Lie algebra and $\mathfrak{g}^*$ its complex dual space. We can form the symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak{g}^ * ) $...

Casimir operators of a given Lie Algebra

I am a Physicist, so let me apologize in advance for some possible imprecisions. I'm working on a 10-dimensional Lie Algebra. Each element of the algebra represents a quantum mechanical operator, and ...

Characterization of the weight orbit in the projective space via second order Casimir.

This is the spin-off of the question I previously asked. First, let me remind you some notation from that question: $G_0$ - compact, simply connected Lie group giving rise (by complexification) ...

A representation of Spin(9,1)

Let $Spin(9,1)$ denote the universal (double) cover of $SO(9,1)$. $Spin(9,1)$ acts linearly on $\mathbb{R}^{16}$ (see e.g. p.29 here https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0105155v4.pdf ). Consider the induced ...
