Abstract |
In this paper, we compute minimal faithful representations of filiform Lie algebras by means of strictly upper-triangular matrices. To obtain such representations, we use nilpotent Lie algebras g(n), of n x n strictly upper-triangular matrices, because any given (filiform) nilpotent Lie algebra g admits a Lie-algebra isomorphism with a subalgebra of g(n) for some n is an element of N\\{1}. In this sense, we search for the lowest natural integer n such that the Lie algebra g(n) contains the filiform Lie algebra g as a subalgebra. Additionally, we give a representative of each representation. |
