Quasi-Frobenius Lie Algebra

In mathematics, a quasi-Frobenius Lie algebra

over a field is a Lie algebra

equipped with a nondegenerate skew-symmetric bilinear form

, which is a Lie algebra 2-cocycle of with values in . In other words,

for all, in .

If is a coboundary, which means that there exists a linear form such that

then

is called a Frobenius Lie algebra.

Famous quotes containing the words lie and/or algebra:

    In the middle of the night, as indeed each time that we lay on the shore of a lake, we heard the voice of the loon, loud and distinct, from far over the lake. It is a very wild sound, quite in keeping with the place and the circumstances of the traveler, and very unlike the voice of a bird. I could lie awake for hours listening to it, it is so thrilling.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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