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.

An inequality for weights of affine Lie algebras, level, and dual Coxeter number

The answer to this is found as theorem 13.11 in Kac, "Infinite dimensional Lie Algebras". To be specific, we have $2k(\Lambda|\rho) \geq h^{\vee} (\Lambda| \Lambda)$ for all $\Lambda \in P^k_+$, with …

What is wrong with $A^{(2)}_{2n}$?

When dealing with affine Kac-Moody groups, especially geometrically (e.g. by examining their affine flag varieties or affine Grassmannians) I've been taught that time and time again, issues arise in t …
