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:

    “Probably nature itself gave man the ability to lie so that in difficult and tense moments he could protect his nest, just as do the vixen and wild duck.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

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