Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.
No alternate terminology is currently authored for this record.
Carrier(s)
vector space g
Data
bilinear bracket [−,−]
Axioms / constraints
alternating bracket: [x,x]=0 for every x
Jacobi identity
Notes
The alternating axiom implies antisymmetry over every field. The converse needs characteristic different from 2, so antisymmetry is not used as an unrestricted substitute.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Direction

source: Canonically constructs; target: Canonically constructed from
Authored annotation
differentiate at the identity
Authored explanation
Take the tangent space at the identity with the bracket induced by left-invariant vector fields.
How to interpret this relation type
Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

add Lie bracket
Authored explanation
Add an alternating bilinear bracket satisfying Jacobi.
How to interpret this relation type
Equip an existing carrier or structured object with additional chosen data, when such compatible data exists. Use a construction junction when several independently meaningful inputs must coexist on the same carrier or interact compatibly.

source: Mathematically formulates; target: Mathematically formulated using
Authored annotation
infinitesimal gauge algebra
Authored explanation
The Lie algebra supplies gauge generators, structure constants, and the local form of gauge-field interactions.
How to interpret this relation type
A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.

Authored explanation
Infinitesimal symmetry generators lie in a Lie algebra and enter Noether currents.
