Abstract

We proved in previous work that all real nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension up to 10 carrying an ad-invariant metric are nice, i.e. they admit a nice basis in the sense of Lauret et al. In this paper, we show by constructing explicit examples that nonnice irreducible nilpotent Lie algebras admitting an ad-invariant metric exist for every dimension greater than 10 and every nilpotency step greater than 2. In the way of doing so, we introduce a method to construct Lie algebras with ad-invariant metrics called the single extension, as a parallel to the well-known double extension procedure. (AU)
