Abstract

A set grading on the split simple Lie algebra of type D13, that cannot be realized as a group-grading, is constructed by splitting the set of positive roots into a disjoint union of pairs of orthogonal roots, following a pattern provided by the lines of the projective plane over GF(3). This answers in the negative [3, Question 1.11].Similar non-group gradings are obtained for types Dn with n≡1(mod12), by substituting the lines in the projective plane by blocks of suitable Steiner systems.
