Abstract

Let k be a field of any characteristic, V a finite-dimensional vector space over k, and S d ( V * ) be the d-th symmetric power of the dual space V * . Given a linear map φ on V and an eigenvector w of φ , we prove that the pair ( φ , w ) can be used to construct a new Lie algebra structure on S d ( V * ) . We prove that this Lie algebra structure is solvable, and in particular, it is nilpotent if φ is a nilpotent map. We also classify the Lie algebras for all possible pairs ( φ , w ) , when k = C and V is two-dimensional.
