Properties of Lie algebras

Reductive Lie algebra

In mathematics, a Lie algebra is reductive if its adjoint representation is completely reducible, whence the name. More concretely, a Lie algebra is reductive if it is a direct sum of a semisimple Lie algebra and an abelian Lie algebra: there are alternative characterizations, given below. (Wikipedia).

The Lie-algebra of Quaternion algebras and their Lie-subalgebras

In this video we discuss the Lie-algebras of general quaternion algebras over general fields, especially as the Lie-algebra is naturally given for 2x2 representations. The video follows a longer video I previously did on quaternions, but this time I focus on the Lie-algebra operation. I st

Axioms of Lie algebra theory

In this video I write down the axioms of Lie algebras and then discuss the defining anti-symmetric bilinear map (the Lie bracket) which is zero on the diagonal and fulfills the Jacobi identity. I'm following the compact book "Introduction to Lie Algebras" by Erdmann and Wildon. https://gi

Lie groups: Poincare-Birkhoff-Witt theorem

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We state the Poincare-Birkhoff Witt theorem, which shows that the universal enveloping algebra (UEA) of a Lie algebra is the same size as a polynomial algebra. We prove it for Lie algebras of Lie groups and sketch a proof of

Lie groups: Lie algebras

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We define the Lie algebra of a Lie group in two ways, and show that it satisfied the Jacobi identity. The we calculate the Lie algebras of a few Lie groups. For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.co

Lie derivatives of differential forms

Introduces the lie derivative, and its action on differential forms. This is applied to symplectic geometry, with proof that the lie derivative of the symplectic form along a Hamiltonian vector field is zero. This is really an application of the wonderfully named "Cartan's magic formula"

Ana Balibanu: The partial compactification of the universal centralizer

Abstract: Let G be a semisimple algebraic group of adjoint type. The universal centralizer is the family of centralizers in G of regular elements in Lie(G), parametrized by their conjugacy classes. It has a natural symplectic structure, obtained by Hamiltonian reduction from the cotangent

Lie groups: Positive characteristic is weird

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We give several examples to show that, over fields of positive characteristic, Lie algebras can behave strangely, and have a weaker connection to Lie groups. In particular the Lie algebra does not generate the ring of all in
