Abstract

A study is made of real Lie algebras admitting compatible complex and product structures, including numerous 4-dimensional examples. Any Lie algebra ɡ with such a structure is even-dimensional and its complexification has a hypercomplex structure. In addition, ɡ splits into the direct sum of two Lie subalgebras of the same dimension, and each of these is shown to have a left-symmetric algebra (LSA) structure. Interpretations of these results are obtained that are relevant to the theory of both hypercomplex and hypersymplectic manifolds and their associated connections.
