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.

Relationship between characteristic polynomials of a matrix and its adjoint representation

Let $A \in \mathrm{M}_n(F)$ be a matrix over a field $F$. Consider its adjoint representation $\mathrm{ad}_A \in \mathrm{End}(\mathrm{M}_n(F))$, defined by $$ \mathrm{ad}_A(X) = [A, X] = AX - XA. $$ I …

Avoiding Cartan subalgebra in a Lie algebra

Let $G$ be a simple complex algebraic group acting on its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ via the adjoint representation. What is the largest integer $d$ such that every subspace $U \subseteq \mathfrak{g}$ …
