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.

Simultaneous diagonalization
I'm pretty sure that the following (if true) is a standard result in linear algebra but unfortunately I could not find it anywhere and even worse I'm too dumb to prove it: Let $k$ be a field, let $V$ …

Is the Cartan matrix a complete invariant of a Kac-Moody algebra?
In chapter 1 of Kac's book "Infinite dimensional Lie algebras" it is mentioned that two Kac-Moody algebras are isomorphic if and only if their Cartan matrices are isomorphic (i.e. they are the same up …
