Abstract

We propose a generalization of the factorization method to the case when $\mathcal{G}$ is a finite dimensional Lie algebra such that $\mathcal{G}=\mathcal{G}_0\oplus M \oplus N$ (direct sum of vector spaces), where $\mathcal{G}_0$ is a subalgebra in $\mathcal{G}$, $M, N$ are $\mathcal{G}_0$-modules, and $\mathcal{G}_0 +M$, $\mathcal{G}_0 +N$ are subalgebras in $\mathcal{G}$. In particular, we consider the case when $\mathcal{G}$ is a $\Z$-graded Lie algebra. Using this generalization, we construct some top-like systems related to the algebra $so(3,1)$. According to the general scheme, these systems can be reduced to linear systems with variable coefficients. For the top-like systems first integrals and infinitesimal symmetries are found.
