Lie algebras are algebraic structures which were introduced to study the concept of infinitesimal transformations. The term "Lie algebra" (after Sophus Lie) was introduced by Hermann Weyl in the 1930s. In older texts, the name "infinitesimal group" is used. Related mathematical concepts include Lie groups and differentiable manifolds.

A mysterious Heisenberg algebra identity from Sylvester, 1867
This can be interpreted cleanly using the notion of Pre-Lie algebra.
Indeed, vector fields on an affine space form a Pre-Lie algebra. To prove the desired identity, it is enough to consider the free …

Ternary "Lie structure"
The proper setting is the theory of operads, which allows to deal with any number of generators at a single stroke.
The Lie operad is the sub-operad of the associative operad generated by 12-21.
