Contact Seaweeds

Abstract

A (2k+1)-dimensional contact Lie algebra is one which admits a one-form such that (d)k0. Such algebras have index one, but this is not generally a sufficient condition. Here we show that index-one type-A seaweed algebras are necessarily contact. Examples, together with a method for their explicit construction, are provided.
