A classification of nilpotent compatible Lie algebras

Abstract

Working over an arbitrary field of characteristic different from $2$, we extend the Skjelbred-Sund method to compatible Lie algebras and give a full classification of nilpotent compatible Lie algebras up to dimension $4$. In case the base field is cubically closed, we find that there are three isomorphism classes and a one-parameter family in dimension $3$, and $12$ isomorphism classes, $6$ one-parameter families and two $2$-parameter families in dimension $4$
