Construction of nice nilpotent Lie groups


Abstract in English

We illustrate an algorithm to classify nice nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension $n$ up to a suitable notion of equivalence; applying the algorithm, we obtain complete listings for $nleq9$. On every nilpotent Lie algebra of dimension $leq 7$, we determine the number of inequivalent nice bases, which can be $0$, $1$, or $2$. We show that any nilpotent Lie algebra of dimension $n$ has at most countably many inequivalent nice bases.
