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)
