You are right, there is no need to insert an * between two variables, a
 simple space is enough.

Here are some binding useful for mathematica calls

\bind "M-a space"               "math-extern mma"
\bind "M-a n"                   "math-extern mma N"
\bind "M-a e"                   "math-extern mma Expand"
\bind "M-a f"                   "math-extern mma Factor"
\bind "M-a s"                   "math-extern mma Simplify"
\bind "M-a S-S"                 "math-extern mma FullSimplify"

PS: when you insert a "\{" or "\}" in a math equation and call "math-extern",
through which mathematizice function the program passes? In other word which
is the MathInset subclass associated to \{ and \}
I'd like that a "\{" produces "{" and not "\{" through mathematicize. Since in 
this case, it can be possible to call more compilacted Mathematica functions 
like Collect[Exp,{x1,y1}] ( lyx equation : \Collect[Exp,\{x1,y1\}]). That 
work well with, for example, \Limit[ f[x], x->\infty] and things like that.
