Graded contractions of Lie algebras and central extensions*

Abstract: We use the concept of grading of Lie algebras to investigate the appearance of central charges during the contraction process. As for the usual graded contractions, one finds simultaneously the central extensions of classes of algebras, rather than specific Lie algebras. To illustrate the method, we consider in detail two physical applications: the kinematical algebras of spacetime, and the graded contractions that occur in the general formalism of vector coherent state (VCS) representations of a Lie algebra. … Show more
