The algebraic classification of five-dimensional nilpotent right alternative algebras
Abstract
We develop the method of central extensions (the Skjelbred--Sund method) for nilpotent right alternative algebras over the field of complex numbers and apply it to obtain the algebraic classification of five-dimensional nilpotent right alternative algebras. More precisely, we classify, up to isomorphism, all complex five-dimensional nilpotent right alternative algebras that have no annihilator component (that is, which are not a direct sum of a smaller algebra and a one-dimensional algebra with zero product) and which are not $2$-step nilpotent. Every such algebra is a non-split central extension of a nontrivial nilpotent right alternative algebra of dimension three (by a two-dimensional space) or of dimension four (by a one-dimensional space). For each of the relevant three- and four-dimensional algebras we compute the second cohomology space, the automorphism group and its action on the second cohomology, and we determine all orbits that give non-split extensions. The resulting list consists of $124$ algebras and families of algebras; it contains $29$ algebras with two-dimensional annihilator and $95$ algebras with one-dimensional annihilator.
