Contractions and generalized Casimir invariants
Abstract
We prove that if g is a contraction of a Lie algebra g then the number of functionally independent invariants of g is at least that of g. This allows to determine explicitly the number of invariants of Lie algebras carrying a supplementary structure, such as linear contact or linear forms whose differential is symplectic.
