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.

Injectivity of Rewrite Rule in a Free Lie Algebra

Yes. Embed the free Lie algebra in the free associative algebra, then consider the monomial with $x_n$ as far right as possible (i.e., with the largest number of other $\{x_i,i\leq n\}$ before it): i …

Decomposition of a representation of SU(N) into representations of SU(N-1)

Let $\omega_k$ be the highest weight of the $k$-th antisymmetric representation of $\mathfrak{su}(N)$. Consider an irreducible representation of $\mathfrak{su}(N)$, characterized by its highest weigh …

Counting adjoints in the symmetric or antisymmetric square of a Lie group representation

EDIT (November 1, 2022): Over the weekend I think I found a technique to determine the exact multiplicities, according to how conjugation acts on the fundamental weights. While I haven't done the pre …
