Abstract

For any grading by an abelian group G on the exceptional simple Lie algebra \(\mathcal {L}\) of type E 6 or E 7 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we compute the graded Brauer invariants of simple finite-dimensional modules, thus completing the computation of these invariants for simple finite-dimensional Lie algebras. This yields the classification of finite-dimensional G-graded simple \(\mathcal {L}\)-modules, as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite-dimensional \(\mathcal {L}\)-module to admit a G-grading compatible with the given G-grading on \(\mathcal {L}\).
