Over a field k of characteristic p>0, the Witt algebra is defined to be the Lie algebra of derivations of the ring
- k/zp
The Witt algebra is spanned by Lm for −1≤ m ≤ p−2.

Famous quotes containing the words finite and/or fields:
“Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.”
—Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)
“If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.”
