$k$-step nilpotent symplectic Lie algebras associated with graphs

Abstract

We construct families of $k$-step nilpotent symplectic Lie algebras associated with graphs, extending the construction given in [Pouseele-Tirao, JPAA 213 (2009)] for the 2-step case. We also show that, under mild conditions on the nilpotency type, there exist symplectic Lie algebras of that type.
