Computation of Invariants of Lie Algebras by Means of Moving Frames
A new purely algebraic algorithm is presented for computation of invariants
(generalized Casimir operators) of Lie algebras. It uses the Cartan's method of
moving frames and the knowledge of the group of inner automorphisms of each Lie
algebra. The algorithm is applied, in particular, to computation of invariants
of real low-dimensional Lie algebras. A number of examples are calculated to
illustrate its effectiveness and to make a comparison with the same cases in
the literature. Bases of invariants of the real solvable Lie algebras up to
dimension five, the real six-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras and the real
six-dimensional solvable Lie algebras with four-dimensional nilradicals are
newly calculated and listed in tables.Comment: 17 pages, extended versio
