Principal Subalgebra
In mathematics, a principal subalgebra of a complex simple Lie algebra is a 3-dimensional simple subalgebra whose non-zero elements are regular. A finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra has a unique conjugacy class of principal subalgebras, each of which is the span of an sl2-triple.

Complex Simple Lie Algebra
In mathematics, a simple Lie group is a connected non-abelian Lie group ''G'' which does not have nontrivial connected normal subgroups. The list of simple Lie groups can be used to read off the list of simple Lie algebras and Riemannian symmetric spaces. Together with the commutative Lie group of the real numbers, \mathbb, and that of the unit-magnitude complex numbers, U(1) (the unit circle), simple Lie groups give the atomic "blocks" that make up all (finite-dimensional) connected Lie groups via the operation of group extension. Many commonly encountered Lie groups are either simple or 'close' to being simple: for example, the so-called " special linear group" SL(''n'') of ''n'' by ''n'' matrices with determinant equal to 1 is simple for all ''n'' > 1. The first classification of simple Lie groups was by Wilhelm Killing, and this work was later perfected by Élie Cartan. The final classification is often referred to as Killing-Cartan classification.

Regular Element Of A Lie Algebra
In mathematics, a regular element of a Lie algebra or Lie group is an element whose centralizer has dimension as small as possible. For example, in a complex semisimple Lie algebra, an element X \in \mathfrak is regular if its centralizer in \mathfrak has dimension equal to the rank of \mathfrak, which in turn equals the dimension of some Cartan subalgebra \mathfrak (note that in earlier papers, an element of a complex semisimple Lie algebra was termed regular if it is semisimple and the kernel of its adjoint representation is a Cartan subalgebra). An element g \in G a Lie group is regular if its centralizer has dimension equal to the rank of G . Basic case In the specific case of \mathfrak_n(\mathbb), the Lie algebra of n \times n matrices over an algebraically closed field \mathbb(such as the complex numbers), a regular element M is an element whose Jordan normal form contains a single Jordan block for each eigenvalue (in other words, the geometric multiplicity of each eige ...

Conjugacy Class
In mathematics, especially group theory, two elements a and b of a group are conjugate if there is an element g in the group such that b = gag^. This is an equivalence relation whose equivalence classes are called conjugacy classes. In other words, each conjugacy class is closed under b = gag^. for all elements g in the group. Members of the same conjugacy class cannot be distinguished by using only the group structure, and therefore share many properties. The study of conjugacy classes of non-abelian groups is fundamental for the study of their structure. For an abelian group, each conjugacy class is a set containing one element (singleton set). Functions that are constant for members of the same conjugacy class are called class functions. Definition Let G be a group. Two elements a, b \in G are conjugate if there exists an element g \in G such that gag^ = b, in which case b is called of a and a is called a conjugate of b. In the case of the general linear group \operat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sl2-triple
In the theory of Lie algebras, an ''sl''2-triple is a triple of elements of a Lie algebra that satisfy the commutation relations between the standard generators of the special linear Lie algebra ''sl''2. This notion plays an important role in the theory of semisimple Lie algebras, especially in regard to their nilpotent orbits. Definition Elements of a Lie algebra ''g'' form an ''sl''2-triple if : ,e= 2e, \quad ,f= -2f, \quad ,f= h. These commutation relations are satisfied by the generators : h = \begin 1 & 0\\ 0 & -1 \end, \quad e = \begin 0 & 1\\ 0 & 0 \end, \quad f = \begin 0 & 0\\ 1 & 0 \end of the Lie algebra ''sl''2 of 2 by 2 matrices with zero trace. It follows that ''sl''2-triples in ''g'' are in a bijective correspondence with the Lie algebra homomorphisms from ''sl''2 into ''g''. The alternative notation for the elements of an ''sl''2-triple is , with ''H'' corresponding to ''h'', ''X'' corresponding to ''e'', and ''Y'' corresponding to ''f''. H is ca ...

Springer-Verlag
Springer Science+Business Media, commonly known as Springer, is a German multinational publishing company of books, e-books and peer-reviewed journals in science, humanities, technical and medical (STM) publishing. Originally founded in 1842 in Berlin, it expanded internationally in the 1960s, and through mergers in the 1990s and a sale to venture capitalists it fused with Wolters Kluwer and eventually became part of Springer Nature in 2015. Springer has major offices in Berlin, Heidelberg, Dordrecht, and New York City. History Julius Springer founded Springer-Verlag in Berlin in 1842 and his son Ferdinand Springer grew it from a small firm of 4 employees into Germany's then second largest academic publisher with 65 staff in 1872.Chronology ".

Lie Algebras
In mathematics, a Lie algebra (pronounced ) is a vector space \mathfrak g together with an operation called the Lie bracket, an alternating bilinear map \mathfrak g \times \mathfrak g \rightarrow \mathfrak g, that satisfies the Jacobi identity. The Lie bracket of two vectors x and y is denoted ,y/math>. The vector space \mathfrak g together with this operation is a non-associative algebra, meaning that the Lie bracket is not necessarily associative. Lie algebras are closely related to Lie groups, which are groups that are also smooth manifolds: any Lie group gives rise to a Lie algebra, which is its tangent space at the identity. Conversely, to any finite-dimensional Lie algebra over real or complex numbers, there is a corresponding connected Lie group unique up to finite coverings ( Lie's third theorem). This correspondence allows one to study the structure and classification of Lie groups in terms of Lie algebras. In physics, Lie groups appear as symmetry groups ...
