Construction of color Lie algebras from homomorphisms of modules of Lie algebras

Abstract

A close relation between categories of color Lie algebras and sets of pairs of homomorphisms of modules of Lie algebras is discussed, which is applicable to construct color Lie algebras from Lie algebras and their modules. It is also shown that such construction yields equivalent categories of color Lie algebras under an equivalent relation between symmetric bicharacters. As an application we construct and classify all simple color Lie algebras from the three dimensional simple complex Lie algebra and its finite-dimensional simple modules.
