Fixed point subalgebras of root graded Lie algebras

Abstract

We study the subalgebra of fixed points of a root graded Lie algebra under a certain class of finite order automorphisms. As the centerless core of extended affine Lie algebras or equivalently irreducible centerless Lie tori are examples of root graded Lie algebras, our work is an extension of some recent result about the subalgebra of fixed points of a Lie torus under a certain finite order automorphism.
