Cartan Pairs and Shared Orbit Pairs
Journal of Lie Theory, Volume 28 (2018) no. 1, pp. 1-31
We study a class of pairs of Lie algebras $(\g,\g_1)$ that we call Cartan pairs; here $\g$ is semisimple and $\g_1$ is a reductive in $\g$ subalgebra. For these pairs, which generalize symmetric ones, we have standardly defined Cartan subspaces, and consequently the set of restricted roots $\Sigma(\g,\a)$. We prove that there are infinitely many interesting nonsymmetric Cartan pairs. Next we prove that every pair of the well known Brylinski-Kostant list of shared orbit pairs is a Cartan pair. As a continuation of the previous research we obtained some further useful and clarifying results and examples related to Cartan pairs and Cartan subspaces.
