Summary

A vector space with an alternating bilinear bracket satisfying the 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.

Lie groupLie algebra

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

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.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

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.

Lie algebraGauge field theory

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

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.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Supply a Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} over the same field kk as the vector-space input.

How to interpret this relation type

Feed several structures into a construction junction and impose compatibility between them.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

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