Double extensions for quadratic Hom-Lie algebras with equivariant twist maps

Abstract

Quadratic Hom-Lie algebras with equivariant twist maps are studied. They are completely characterized in terms of a maximal proper ideal that contains the kernel of the twist map and a complementary subspace to it that is either 1-dimensional, or has the structure of a simple Lie algebra. It is shown how the analogue of the double extension construction works well for quadratic Hom-Lie algebras with equivariant twist maps and prove that any indecomposable and quadratic Hom-Lie algebra with equivariant and nilpotent twist map can be identified with such a double extension.
