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 (possible) Lie algebra extension of the Lie algebra of a foliation
Motivation: The aim of this post is to extend the Lie algebra of a foliation to a bigger Lie algebra. We assume that a manifold $M$ is foliated by compat leaves. The Lie algebra of the foliation is th …

Lie subalgebras of $\chi^{\infty}(M)$ of codimension $n = \dim M$
For a connected $n$-manifold $M$, the Lie algebra of all smooth vector fields is denoted by $\chi^{\infty}(M)$. For a point $p\in M$ we define $L_{p}=\{X\in \chi^{\infty}(M)\mid X(p)=0\}$. Of course …
