Abstract

It is a well-known result that the fixed point subalgebra of a finite dimensional complex simple Lie algebra under a finite order automorphism is a reductive Lie algebra so it is a direct sum of finite dimensional simple Lie subalgebras and an abelian subalgebra. We consider this for the class of extended affine Lie algebras and are able to show that the fixed point subalgebra of an extended affine Lie algebra under a finite order automorphism (which satisfies certain natural properties) is a sum of extended affine Lie algebras (up to existence of some isolated root spaces), a subspace of the center and a subspace which is contained in the centralizer of the core. Moreover, we show that the core of the fixed point subalgebra modulo its center is isomorphic to the direct sum of the cores modulo centers of the involved summands.
