Inner Automorphism - Lie Algebra Case

Lie Algebra Case

An automorphism of a Lie algebra is called an inner automorphism if it is of the form Adg, where Ad is the adjoint map and g is an element of a Lie group whose Lie algebra is . The notion of inner automorphism for Lie algebras is compatible with the notion for groups in the sense that an inner automorphism of a Lie group induces a unique inner automorphism of the corresponding Lie algebra.

Famous quotes containing the words lie, algebra and/or case:

    “Now night perfumes lie upon the air,
    As rests the blossom on the loaded bough;
    And each deep-drawn breath is redolent
    Of all the folded flowers’ mingled scent
    That rises in confused rapture now.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    “Massachusetts sat waiting Mr. Loring’s decision.... It was really the trial of Massachusetts. Every moment that she hesitated to set this man free, every moment that she now hesitates to atone for her crime, she is convicted. The commissioner on her case is God; not Edward G. God, but simply God.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
