Automorphisms of extensions of Lie-Yamaguti algebras and Inducibility problem (2306.12937v2)

Abstract: Lie-Yamaguti algebras generalize both the notions of Lie algebras and Lie triple systems. In this paper, we consider the inducibility problem for automorphisms of extensions of Lie-Yamaguti algebras. More precisely, given an abelian extension $$0 \to V \xrightarrow[]{i} \widetilde{L} \xrightarrow[]{p} L \to 0$$ of a Lie-Yamaguti algebra $L$, we are interested in finding the pairs $(\phi, \psi)\in \mathrm{Aut}(V)\times \mathrm{Aut}(L)$, which are inducible by an automorphism in $\mathrm{Aut}(\widetilde{L})$. We connect the inducibility problem to the $(2,3)$-cohomology of Lie-Yamaguti algebra. In particular, we show that the obstruction for a pair of automorphism in $\mathrm{Aut}(V)\times \mathrm{Aut}(L)$ to be inducible lies in the $(2,3)$-cohomology group $\mathrm{H}^{(2,3)}(L,V)$. We develop the Wells exact sequence for Lie-Yamaguti algebra extensions, which relates the space of derivations, automorphism groups, and $(2,3)$-cohomology groups of Lie-Yamaguti algebras. As an application, we describe certain automorphism groups of semi-direct product Lie-Yamaguti algebras. In the sequel, we apply our results to discuss inducibility problem for nilpotent Lie-Yamaguti algebras of index $2$. We give examples of infinite families of such nilpotent Lie-Yamaguti algebras and characterize the inducible pairs of automorphisms for extensions arising from these examples. Finally, we write an algorithm to find out all the inducible pairs of automorphisms for extensions arising from nilpotent Lie-Yamaguti algebras of index $2$.
