Hom-Lie structures on 3-dimensional skew symmetric algebras

We describe the dimension of the space of possible linear endomorphisms that turn skew-symmetric three-dimensional algebras into Hom-Lie algebras. We find a correspondence between the rank of a matrix containing the structure constants of the bilinear product and the dimension of the space of Hom-Lie structures. Examples from classical complex Lie algebras are given to demonstrate this correspondence.open access
