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:
“It is surprising with what impunity and comfort one who has always lain in a warm bed in a close apartment, and studiously avoided drafts of air, can lie down on the ground without a shelter, roll himself in a blanket, and sleep before a fire, in a frosty autumn night, just after a long rain-storm, and even come soon to enjoy and value the fresh air.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
