Structure of symplectic invariant Lie subalgebras of symplectic   derivation Lie algebras
  We study the structure of the symplectic invariant part $\mathfrak{h}_{g,1}^{\mathrm{Sp}}$ of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{h}_{g,1}$ consisting of symplectic derivations of the free Lie algebra generated by the rational homology group of a closed oriented surface $\Sigma_{g}$ of genus $g$.   First we describe the orthogonal direct sum decomposition of this space which is induced by the canonical metric on it and compute it explicitly up to degree $20$. In this framework, we give a general constraint which is imposed on the $\mathrm{Sp}$-invariant component of the bracket of two elements in $\mathfrak{h}_{g,1}$. Second we clarify the relations among $\mathfrak{h}_{g,1}$ and the other two related Lie algebras $\mathfrak{h}_{g,*}$ and $\mathfrak{h}_{g}$ which correspond to the cases of a closed surface $\Sigma_g$ with and without base point $*\in\Sigma_g$. In particular, based on a theorem of Labute, we formulate a method of determining these differences and describe them explicitly up to degree $20$. Third, by giving a general method of constructing elements of $\mathfrak{h}_{g,1}^{\mathrm{Sp}}$, we reveal a considerable difference between the two submodules of it, one is the $\mathrm{Sp}$-invariant part of a certain ideal $\mathfrak{j}_{g,1}$ and the other is that of the Johnson image.   Finally we combine these results to determine the structure of $\mathfrak{h}_{g,1}$ completely up to degree $6$ including the unstable cases where the genus $1$ case has an independent meaning. In particular, we see a glimpse of the Galois obstructions explicitly from our point of view.
