Abstract
Let b be a Borel subalgebra of the symplectic Lie algebra sp(2n, ℂ) and let n be the corresponding maximal nilpotent subalgebra. We find a connection between the abelian ideals of b and the cohomology of n with trivial coefficients. Using this connection, we are able to enumerate the number of abelian ideals of b with given dimension via the Poincaré polynomials of Weyl groups of types An-1 and Cn.
