Respectful Decompositions of Lie Algebras
Journal of Lie Theory, Volume 34 (2024) no. 3, pp. 735-751
One of Pierre Molino's principal mathematical achievements was his theory of Riemannian foliations. One of his last papers, published in 2001, showed that his theory could be extended to a large class of non-integrable distributions. The key example here is that of a \emph{respectful decomposition} of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$; this is vector space decomposition ${\mathfrak g} = H+V$ such that $[V,H]\subseteq H$. This paper will examine the basic properties of respectful decompositions.
