Double extensions of left-symmetric structures

The notion of double extension for symplectic Lie algebras was introduced by Medina and Revoy in 1985. In 2021, Valencia gave a condition for symplectic Lie algebras which are obtained through double extension to admit compatible left-symmetric structures. In this paper, we formulate the notion of double extension for left-symmetric structures and give a condition for left-symmetric structures to be obtained through double extension. Moreover, we prove that right nilpotent left-symmetric structures on some solvable Lie algebras are obtained through double extension. We also give a condition for left-symmetric structures which are obtained through double extension to be complete.
