Non-degenerate Invariant Bilinear Forms on Lie Color Algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we study Lie color algebras 𝔤 with a non-degenerate color-symmetric, 𝔤-invariant bilinear form B, such a (𝔤,B) is called a quadratic Lie color algebra. Our first result generalizes the notion of double extensions to quadratic Lie color algebras. This notion was introduced by Medina and Revoy to study quadratic Lie algebras. In the second theorem, we give a sufficient condition for a quadratic Lie color algebra to be a quadratic Lie color algebra by double extension. At last, we generalize the notion of T*-extensions to Lie color algebras.
