Abstract
The results of a preceding paper on Lie algebra extensions and sliced extensions are applied to the Lie algebras 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 are inessential.
