%0 Journal Article %A Ancochea Bermúdez, José María %A Campoamor-Stursberg, Rutwig %T On characteristically nilpotent Lie algebras of type Q %D 2003 %@ 0024-3795 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50574 %X We construct large families of characteristically nilpotent Lie algebras by analyzing the centralizers of the ideals in the central descending sequence of the Lie algebraQn and deforming its extensions preserving the structure of these centralizers and the natural graduation. This provides characteristically nilpotent Lie algebras in any dimension and mixed characteristic sequences. %~
