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 name for the Weyl group of $\frak{so_{2n}}$
For the $A$-series the Weyl group is the symmetric group $S_n$. For the $B$ and $C$ series the Weyl group is the hyperoctahedral group $\mathbb Z_2 \wr S_n$.
A) Does the $D$-series Weyl group $S_n \ma …
