On the existence of orthogonal decompositions of the simple Lie algebra of type C3

Orthogonal decompositions (OD:s) that are monomial have been constructed for most simple Lie algebras but in some cases the existence of an OD is still an open question. One such case is Lie algebras of type Cn where n is not a power of 2. In this paper we prove that C3 has no monomial OD (containin...

description Orthogonal decompositions (OD:s) that are monomial have been constructed for most simple Lie algebras but in some cases the existence of an OD is still an open question. One such case is Lie algebras of type Cn where n is not a power of 2. In this paper we prove that C3 has no monomial OD (containing the standard Cartan subalgebra) by computational methods.
