| Dec 13, 2009 at 19:37 | comment | added | Theo Johnson-Freyd | For the record, the modern statement of Ado's Theorem is a bit stronger. It says that a finite-dimensional Lie algebra is (isomorphic to) a matrix Lie algebra, and moreover such an isomorphism can be chosen so that the nilpotent part of the Lie algbera consists of nilpotent matrices. Ado's Theorem also seems to require most of the structure theory of Lie algebras. My standard reference for Lie theory are my notes from Prof. Haiman's class last year: math.berkeley.edu/~theojf/LieGroupsBook.pdf | |
