Abstract
An n-Lie algebra is said to be metric if it is endowed with an invariant, non-degenerate, symmetric bilinear form. We prove that any simple n-Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero admits a unique metric structure and vice versa. Further, we present two metric n-Lie algebras, which are indecomposable but admit many more metric structures.
