Lie algebras of associative algebras #
This file defines the Lie algebra structure that arises on an associative algebra via the ring commutator.
Since the linear endomorphisms of a Lie algebra form an associative algebra, one can define the adjoint action as a morphism of Lie algebras from a Lie algebra to its linear endomorphisms. We make such a definition in this file.

An associative ring gives rise to a Lie ring by taking the bracket to be the ring commutator.
Equations
- LieRing.ofAssociativeRing = LieRing.mk ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯
We can regard a module over an associative ring A
as a Lie ring module over A
with Lie
bracket equal to its ring commutator.
Note that this cannot be a global instance because it would create a diamond when M = A
,
specifically we can build two mathematically-different bracket A A
s:
@Ring.bracket A _
which says⁅a, b⁆ = a * b - b * a
(@LieRingModule.ofAssociativeModule A _ A _ _).toBracket
which says⁅a, b⁆ = a • b
(and thus⁅a, b⁆ = a * b
)
See note [reducible non-instances]

An associative algebra gives rise to a Lie algebra by taking the bracket to be the ring commutator.
Equations
- LieAlgebra.ofAssociativeAlgebra = LieAlgebra.mk ⋯
A representation of an associative algebra A
is also a representation of A
, regarded as a
Lie algebra via the ring commutator.
See the comment at LieRingModule.ofAssociativeModule
for why the possibility M = A
means
this cannot be a global instance.
