Abstract

A characterization of Lie algebras of skew-symmetric elements of associative algebras with involution is obtained. It is proved that a Lie algebra L is isomorphic to a Lie algebra of skew-symmetric elements of an associative algebra with involution if and only if L admits an additional (Jordan) trilinear operation {x,y,z} that satisfies the identities $$\{x,y,z\}=\{z,y,x\},$$ $$[[x,y],z]=\{x,y,z\}-\{y,x,z\},$$ $$[\{x,y,z\},t]=\{[x,t],y,z\}+\{x,[y,t],z\}+\{x,y,[z,t]\},$$ $$\{\{x,y,z\},t,v\}=\{\{x,t,v\},y,z\}-\{x,\{y,v,t\},z\}+\{x,y,\{z,t,v\}\},$$ where [x,y] stands for the multiplication in L.
