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:
“Nature herself has not provided the most graceful end for her creatures. What becomes of all these birds that people the air and forest for our solacement? The sparrow seems always chipper, never infirm. We do not see their bodies lie about. Yet there is a tragedy at the end of each one of their lives. They must perish miserably; not one of them is translated. True, “not a sparrow falleth to the ground without our Heavenly Father’s knowledge,” but they do fall, nevertheless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
