RT Journal Article T1 Determinantal formulae for the Casimir operators of inhomogeneous Lie algebras A1 Campoamor-Stursberg, Rutwig AB Contractions of Lie algebras are combined with the classical matrix method of Gel’fand to obtain matrix formulae for the Casimir operators of inhomogeneous Lie algebras. The method is presented for the inhomogeneous pseudounitary Lie algebras Iu(p, q). This procedure is extended to contractions of Iu(p, q) isomorphic to an extension by a derivation of the inhomogeneous special pseudo-unitary Lie algebras Isu(p − 1, q), providing an additional analytical method to obtain their invariants. Further, matrix formulae for the invariants of other inhomogeneous Lie algebras are presented.
