  Abstract:
It is a well known result that the fixed point subalgebra of a finite dimensional complex simple Lie algebra under a finite order auto-morphism is a reductive Lie subalgebra and an abelian subalgebra. We consider this for the class of extended affine Lie algebras and are able to show that the fixed point subalgebra of an extended affine Lie algebra under a finite order auto-morphism (which satisfies certain natural properties) is a sum of extended affine Lie algebras (up to existence of some isolated root spaces), an abelian sublagebra and a subspace which is contained in the centralizer of the core.
