Abstract

In these notes we review some basic facts about the LLV Lie algebra. It is a rational Lie algebra, introduced by Looijenga-Lunts and Verbitsky, acting on the rational cohomology of a compact Kähler manifold. We study its structure and describe one irreducible component of the rational cohomology in the case of a compact hyperkähler manifold.
