Abstract
The results of a preceding paper on Lie algebra extensions and sliced extensions are applied to the Lie algebras E(3),P,andG of the Euclidean, resp. Poincaré and Galilean groups. The primitive extensions are analyzed in detail. A procedure for the construction of irreducible extensions is illustrated by some examples, using diagrams which picture the graphs of the extensions. It is proved that all extensions by E(3),P,andG are inessential.
