Abstract:
We identify Cartan algebras in certain semidirect products and prove that every involution of a real Lie algebra leaves invariant some Cartan algebra. Moreover, we establish the adaptability of invariant Cartan algebras and invariant Levi decompositions and prove some conjugacy theorems for invariant Cartan algebras.References
