Invariant integral structures in pseudo $H$-type Lie algebras: construction and classification

Pseudo $H$-type Lie algebras are a special class of 2-step nilpotent metric Lie algebras, intimately related to Clifford algebras ${\text{Cl}}_{r,s}$. In this work we propose the classification method for integral orthonormal structures of pseudo $H$-type Lie algebras. We apply this method for the full classification of these structures for $r\in \{1,\dots ,16\}$, $s\in \{0,1\}$ and irreducible Clifford modules. The latter cases form the basis for the further extensions by making use of the Atiyah-Bott periodicity. The existence of integral structures gives rise to the integral discrete uniform subgroups of the pseudo $H$-type Lie groups.
