Abstract

The aim of this work is to provide explicit calculations that describe any 7-dimensional contact nilpotent Lie algebra as a double extension of a 5-dimensional contact nilpotent Lie algebra. In particular, we describe an arbitrary (2n+1)-dimensional contact filiform Lie algebra as a double extension of a (2n-1)-dimensional contact nilpotent Lie algebra m of nilindex n by a pair (D, theta).
