A remark on calibrations and Lie groups

arXiv:2201.06331

Abstract

We use the notion of the principal three-dimensional subgroup of a simple Lie group to identify certain special subspaces of the Lie algebra and address the question of whether these are calibrated for invariant forms on the group.
